Sales for the year ended December 31, 2003 were 59% greater than for the same period a year ago. Revenues for the Mechanical Contracting division were $12,290,000 compared with $3,553,000 for the year ago period because this segment was not created until October 1, 2002 with the acquisition of Rado Enterprises, Inc. The revenue increase attributable to the Mechanical Contracting division accounted for 102% of the year-to-year increase offset by a decrease of 2% attributable to the Construction Materials division, which experienced lower net selling prices for its products.

Net income for the year ended December 31, 2003 was 4% lower than for the same period a year ago. The decrease was attributable primarily to lower gross margins for the Construction Materials division and higher corporate expenses, due to higher accounting, legal and corporate development costs.
