Dominick A. Pagano, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "We are very pleased with the continued strong and balanced quarterly results. Third quarter 2007 sales were our highest quarterly sales in eight years and the total backlog remains strong. Operating profit for the third quarter 2007 was the highest quarterly operating profit in our history. Comparing the third quarter to the second quarter, our sales increased $58,000 and net income increased $45,000. Through the third quarter we have further diversified our client base and invested over $2,305,000 in machinery and equipment to further expand our capacity and productivity. This was made possible by strong cash flow from operations which also reduced debt and increased shareholders' equity. We will continue to make investments and pursue opportunities that will sustain and position us for future growth and strengthen EDAC for the long term."
