$336,000, or 60%, compared to the second quarter of last year. Gross
profit increased by $697,000 compared to last year due to both higher

mainly due to foreign currency fluctuations.

for a 7% increase in sales revenues and contributed $394,000 of
additional gross profit. The weakness of the US dollar compared to the
British Pound and the Euro resulted in a $1,100,000 increase in

$100,000 lower than last year.  Operating income for the first half of
