Revenue:Revenue for the three months ended July 31, 2006 increased 5% to $8,586,953, as compared to $8,170,744 for the same period in 2005. Revenues for the twelve months ended July 31, 2006 increased $3,461,099 or 11% to $34,604,267, as compared to $31,143,168 for the same period in 2005. The increase in revenue during the three and twelve months of 2006 was primarily the result of continuing strong sales to our existing original equipment manufacturer customers. Sales to our top ten customers increased by 4.7% and 21% for the three and twelve months ended July 31, 2006 respectively compared to the same period in 2005.
Income:Net income (loss) available to stockholders for the three months ended July 31, 2006 decreased approximately $198,000 from $21,000 for the same period in 2005 to ($177,000). A substantial increase in material usage resulting from several operational issues contributed to the loss for the quarter. Those issues have been addressed and corrected and material usage should decrease as a result. Net income for the twelve months ended July 31, 2006 increased 103% to $315,275 or $0.0 per share (diluted), as compared to a loss of $11.6 million or ($.24) per share (diluted) for the same period in 2005. This increase in net income for the year ended July 31, 2006 excluding the ($11.6 million) non-cash charges in 2005 is mainly due to the increase in sales to our top ten customers.
Gross Profit: Gross profit for the three months ended July 31, 2006 was $1,243,570 compared to $1,708,531 for the same period in 2005, a decrease of $465,215 or 27%. Gross profit for the year ended July 31, 2006 was $6,385,146 compared to $5,625,719 for the year ended July 31, 2005, an increase of $759,427 or 13.5%. Our gross margin remained 18% for fiscal 2006 and 2005. Consistent year-to-year gross profit is due to improved operational efficiencies and reduced pricing pressures from our core customers, which were offset by higher material costs associated with the increases in raw material costs. We have been able to begin to pass along price increases to our customers that previously had been absorbed by the Company. As we continue to focus on improving operational efficiencies and managing costs throughout our supply chain in relation to higher selling prices, we would expect to see improvement in gross margin over the next several quarters.
Brad J Peters, Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Integrated Performance Systems, Inc. said, "Fiscal year 2006 was a very important year for the Company. We successfully closed fiscal year 2006 delivering strong financial results. We showed solid and consistent quarter-over-quarter growth. Our year end revenue increased $3.5 million or 11% to $34.6 million when compared to the same period in 2005.
"In 2006 we received a $12 million, 2 year, multi-site delivery contract for The Invensys Group. The opportunity to work long term with such a respected industry leader was a significant step in the positioning of Integrated Performance Systems at the forefront of the EMS industry. We also entered into a new credit facility with Amegy Bank of Houston, Texas, which allowed us to buy our 101,000 sq. ft. manufacturing facility and accompanying property, which will provide a base for expansion and allow us to take the next steps in our strategic growth plan. Our net income is at a record level and our balance sheet is strong. Our focus remains on increasing sales, improving profitability and increasing shareholder value. We look forward to a very successful fiscal 2007 and beyond."
