OLATHE, KS – EMS provider Elecsys Corp. reported fiscal second-quarter 2009 sales of $7.2 million, up 29% year-over-year. Net income was $424,000 for the quarter ended Oct. 31, up about 98% compared to the same period last year.
 
For the six-month period, net income totaled $533,000, up 65.5% year-over-year.
 
The firm expects a modest decline in revenues and profits for the third quarter, and a strong fiscal fourth quarter.
 
Total sales year-to-date increased 23% to $12.8 million. The increase is attributed to sales generated by the company’s Radix subsidiary's handheld computer business.
 
"The results reflect the strong growth of our Radix division, as well as the steady growth of NTG and the continued stability of DCI," said Karl Gemperli, Elecsys CEO.

Sales of Radix rugged handheld computer hardware and peripherals surged to approximately $3.3 million for the quarter. Radix sales included a $2.6 million order announced in July and delivered during the quarter to South Africa-based Transnet.

ELK GROVE VILLAGE, IL – EMS provider SigmaTron International Inc. reported second-quarter fiscal 2009 revenues were $41.1 million, down 4% year-over-year.

For the six months ended Oct, 31, revenues were $79.6 million, down nearly 4% year-over-year. Net income for the same period was $2.1 million, up 28.6% year-over-year.
