1. In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited interim financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2010 (unaudited) and December 31, 2009 (audited) and the results of operations and changes in cash flows for the indicated periods. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been omitted from these unaudited financial statements in accordance with applicable rules. Please refer to the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

2. The results of operations for the three and six-month period ending June 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year.

3. The Company extends credit on the basis of terms that are customary within our markets to various companies doing business primarily in the automotive industry. The Company has a concentration of credit risk primarily within the automotive industry and in the Midwestern United States.

4. The Company is, from time to time, involved in litigation, including environmental claims and contract disputes, in the normal course of business. While it is not possible at this time to establish the ultimate amount of liability with respect to contingent liabilities, including those related to legal proceedings, management is of the opinion that the aggregate amount of any such liabilities, for which provision has not been made, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position.

5. The Company’s federal income tax returns for the 2008 and 2009 tax years are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”). While it may be possible that a reduction could occur with respect to the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits as an outcome of an IRS examination, management does not anticipate any adjustments that would result in a material change to the results of operations or financial condition of the Company. The 2006 and 2007 federal income tax returns were examined by the IRS and no adjustments were made as a result of these examinations. No statutes have been extended on any of the Company’s federal income tax filings. The statute of limitations on the Company’s 2008 and 2009 federal income tax returns will expire on September 15, 2012 and 2013, respectively.

The Company’s state income tax returns for the 2007 through 2009 tax years remain subject to examination by various state authorities with the latest closing period on October 31, 2013. The Company is currently not under examination by any state authority for income tax purposes and no statutes for state income tax filings have been extended.

6. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, cost being determined by the first-in, first-out method. A summary of inventories is as follows:

		June 30, 2010				December 31, 2009

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

     Results for the second quarter of 2010, as well as those of the current year to date, reflect significant improvement over the same periods in 2009 when business conditions were at their weakest due to the economic crisis. Net sales for the second quarter this year totaled $7,938,533, an increase of $3,258,710, or 69.6%, compared to the year earlier quarter. As of June 30, 2010, year to date sales totaled $14,699,926, an improvement of $5,260,813, or 55.7%, compared to the same period in 2009. The increase in revenue, combined with previously instituted cost control measures, has resulted in a net profit of $420,060, or $.43 per share, in the second quarter of the current year compared with a net loss of $439,458, or $0.45 per share, in the second quarter of 2009. For the first half of 2010, net income was $453,929, or $.47 per share, compared with a net loss of $1,063,318, or $1.10 per share, reported in 2009.

     During the second quarter, the fastener segment continued its rebound from the depressed levels of one year earlier. Fastener segment revenues improved to $6,966,882, from $4,105,171 in the second quarter of 2009, or 69.7%. This marks the fifth consecutive quarterly increase and is 15.3% greater than the first quarter of 2010. For the first six months of the year, fastener segment revenues have increased by $5,272,142, or 68.2%, from $7,734,601 to $13,006,743. With the majority of such revenues derived from the automotive industry, the segment has benefited from a strong rebound in domestic auto and truck production during the current year, as well as new customers and certain high-volume parts added in the last year. As production was expanded to meet the improved demand, segment payroll was increased by $540,000 during the quarter and $1,038,000 for the year to date. Nevertheless, increased production allowed for more optimal utilization of resources, so that while higher on an absolute basis, overall payroll and plant overhead comprised a smaller percentage of net sales than a year ago. The only notable exception is state unemployment taxes that increased by approximately $99,000 during the first half of the year due to higher tax rates. The combination of higher sales, better utilization of resources brought about by improved customer demand, and an ongoing emphasis on efficiency, contributed to an increase in fastener segment gross margin in the second quarter of approximately $1,100,000 and an increase of $2,159,000 in the year to date amount, compared to the year earlier periods.

     Revenues within the assembly equipment segment were $971,651 in the second quarter of 2010, an increase of $396,999, or 69.1%, compared to the second quarter of 2009, when revenues were $574,652. Second quarter sales also improved over the first quarter of 2010 by $250,119, or 34.7%. The increase in sales is primarily due to increased machine shipments, which improved by $217,000 compared to last year, and $197,000 compared to the first quarter of this year. Despite the increase in the second quarter, year to date revenues of $1,693,183 represent a slight decline compared to the $1,704,512 reported in 2009, when the inclusion of certain high-dollar shipments caused a spike in first quarter revenues. While the overall improvement in domestic manufacturing activity has resulted in increased sales of parts and tools compared to 2009, machine sales are particularly sensitive to economic conditions, and the lingering uncertainty regarding the economic recovery has contributed to keeping unit shipments relatively unchanged from a year earlier. With manufacturing costs held near levels comparable to the prior year, the increase in revenue has resulted in a $274,000 improvement in assembly equipment segment gross margin for the second quarter compared to last year. This reverses the net decline in gross margin reported in the first quarter for a year to date improvement of $209,000.

     Selling and administrative expenses increased during the second quarter of 2010 by $80,791, from $1,234,910 to $1,315,701, compared to the year earlier period. The increase for the quarter is primarily due to a $53,000 increase in commission expense related to higher sales in the current year. For the first six months of the year, selling and administrative expenses have increased $34,551, or 1.4%, from $2,514,985 in 2009 to $2,549,536 in 2010. While commissions have increased approximately $75,000 this year compared to the first half of 2009 due to improved sales, reductions in various other items, including $23,000 for insurance, partially offset this increase.

     Working capital at June 30, 2010 amounted to $14.6 million, an increase of approximately $.6 million from the beginning of the year. Most of the net increase relates to a greater accounts receivable balance of $.9 million, primarily related to the increase in sales during the quarter, compared to the fourth quarter of 2009. Inventories have increased by $.3 million, or 8.2%, since the beginning of the year, as quantities on hand are increased for the higher level of activity. Offsetting these changes are increases in accrued payroll of $.4 million and accounts payable of $.2 million that reflect the increased level of operations. The net result of these changes and other cash flow items on cash, cash equivalents and certificates of deposit leaves such total balances relatively unchanged from the beginning of the year at $7 million. Management believes that current cash, cash equivalents and operating cash flow will provide adequate working capital for the foreseeable future.

     While we have seen a strong recovery in overall sales during the second quarter and first half of 2010 compared to the same periods last year, it should be noted that our results in the first half of 2009 were severely impacted by the worst economic crisis in half a century, which resulted in significantly lower sales. With the economy on firmer footing than a year ago, we have experienced improved customer demand, that combined with the adjustments we have made to our operations, has resulted in a strong rebound in earnings for the quarter and year to date. The automotive industry, in particular, from which we derive the majority of our revenue, has rebounded strongly compared to last year’s activity levels, but still faces challenges related to an economy that suffers from high unemployment and poor consumer confidence. We will continue to look for opportunities to profitably grow our revenues and improve our bottom line. We also intend to continue to make adjustments to our activities where necessary in response to conditions in our markets, while maintaining the quality our customers demand.

This discussion contains certain “forward-looking statements” which are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual events to differ materially from those discussed herein. Factors which may cause such differences in events include, those disclosed under “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and in the other filings we make with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. These factors, include among other things: conditions in the domestic automotive industry, upon which we rely for sales revenue, the intense competition in our markets, the concentration of our sales to two major customers, the price and availability of raw materials, labor relations issues, losses related to product liability, warranty and recall claims, costs relating to environmental laws and regulations, the loss of the services of our key employees and difficulties in achieving expected cost savings. Many of these factors are beyond our ability to control or predict. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to publish revised forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
