· | Operating expenses of $77.8 million increased over the prior-year quarter primarily as a result of a weaker U.S. dollar, incremental R&D investments and costs related to the Company’s ERP upgrade. |
· | Operating expenses were also affected by $1.1 million, or $0.01 per diluted share associated with the Midwest flood that damaged the Company’s Cedar Rapids facility. |
· | Operating expenses also included a $2.9 million gain, or $0.03 per diluted share, from the sale of property. In the prior-year period, operating expenses were benefited by other operating gains of approximately $2.0 million, or $0.02 per diluted share. |

Other Business Activities
· | On July, 10th, the Company announced its plan to relocate the final assembly of its product lines, consolidate two U.S. service depots to existing locations and transfer its on-site field service repair to a third party supplier.
