 consecutive quarter where sales were higher than the comparable quarter of the prior year.

The increase in sales for the second quarter of 2005 was primarily due to continued strength in the magnetic media and industrial components markets as well as sales of materials for the optical mirrors for NASA's James Webb Space Telescope This article or section documents a scheduled or expected spaceflight.

, down $1.1 million compared to $6.6 million or $0.38 per share diluted in the second quarter of 2004. The benefit of the higher sales was offset by an unfavorable product mix. In addition, higher copper prices, foreign currency exchange losses and a valuation adjustment of a financial derivative derivative: see calculus.

 reduced earnings by approximately $1.6 million in the quarter. The unfavorable mix and higher copper prices were factors in the second quarter gross margins being 1.3 points below the second quarter of the prior year.

For the first six months of the year sales were $265.0 million, up 4% compared to the same period of the prior year. The first half net income was $9.8 million or $0.51 per share diluted, down $0.5 million compared to net income of $10.3 million or $0.60 per share diluted for the first half of 2004. Product mix and higher copper prices have had a negative effect on first half net income. These factors offset the benefit of the higher sales volume.

Alloy Products' 2005 second quarter sales of $51.1 million and first half sales of $103.7 million were down 7% and 3% respectively as compared to second quarter sales of $54.7 million and first half sales of $107.2 million for 2004. Alloy bulk sales were up 18% over the first half of 2004 driven by strength from the oil and gas, aerospace and heavy equipment markets. A significant portion of this growth is from new products. Strip products grew at a higher rate than the worldwide telecommunications and computer market growth in the first half of 2004, however, in the first half 2005 strip product sales were down 12% due principally to inventory levels being reduced at several customers which serve this market. In addition the automotive electronics market was weak during the first half of 2005, especially due to the U.S. "Big Three" automotive manufacturers being down significantly compared to the prior year. Although order entry has recently improved, sales to the automotive, telecommunications and computer markets will be affected by the normal third quarter domestic and European European

 seasonal factors. Therefore it is expected that Alloy Products' sales for the third quarter will be about flat with the second quarter 2005 sales but ahead of last year's third quarter.

TMI's second quarter sales were $12.5 million, down 14% compared to the second quarter of 2004. Sales of $25.3 million for the first half of 2005 were down 11% compared to the first half of 2004. TMI sales have been negatively impacted throughout the first half of the year by weakness in the automotive electronics market. Sales related to the telecommunications and computer market, although weaker during the first half, are beginning to improve. In addition, TMI expects a positive impact from its new product initiatives.

Beryllium Products' second quarter sales were $11.7 million and first half sales were $25.8 million, up 49% and 47% respectively compared to the same periods of last year. The majority of the strong sales growth during the first half was a result of sales of material for the optical mirrors for NASA's James Webb Space Telescope. It is anticipated that Beryllium Products' sales will be weaker in the second half due to a slowdown For articles with similar titles, see Slow Down (disambiguation).

The Microelectronics Group's sales for the second quarter of 2005 were $56.1 million, 9% above second quarter 2004 sales of $51.5 million. Sales for the first six months of 2005 were $107.0 million, 6% above 2004 first half sales of $101.4 million. Operating profit for the second quarter was $4.8 million, 1% below the second quarter of 2004. Operating profit year-to-date was $8.5 million, 17% below the first half 2004 operating profit of $10.3 million due to market shifts and related changes in mix which led to lower margins and differences in inventory valuations.

WAM's 2005 second quarter sales were $49.8 million, 15% above second quarter 2004 sales of $43.5 million. WAM's sales for the first half were $94.0 million, 10% above the same period of last year.

Outlook

As reported earlier, in the latter part of the first quarter the Company began to experience weakness in segments of its two largest markets, telecommunications and computer and automotive electronics. The market weakness continued through the second quarter and into the third quarter. In addition, while Asia remains strong, Europe has softened soft·en

New product opportunities remain encouraging.
