As of the 2005 census estimate, the population of Dayton was 158,873.  -- Dayton Dayton, city (1990 pop. 182,044), seat of Montgomery co., SW Ohio, on the Great Miami River where it is joined by the Stillwater River; inc. 1805. It is the trade center for a fertile farm area, but is best known for its involvement with industry, invention, and  Superior Corporation reported today that sales for the second quarter of 2004 totaled $115.2 million, an 8.8% increase from the second quarter 2003 sales of $105.9 million.

Product sales were $101.2 million for the second quarter of 2004, an increase of 14.4% from the second quarter of 2003. The increase in sales was primarily due to previously announced price increases and, to a lesser extent, an increase in volume. Rental RENTAL. A roll or list of the rents of an estate containing the description of the lands let, the names of the tenants, and other particulars connected with such estate. This is the same as rent roll, from which it is said to be corrupted.  revenue increased $3.4 million for the second quarter of 2004, an increase of 52.4% from the second quarter of 2003. The increase resulted from the contribution from the Safway acquisition and an increase in volume from existing product lines. Used rental equipment sales decreased to $4.1 million for the second quarter of 2004 from $10.9 million for the second quarter of 2003, as one large sale in 2003 did not recur.

Gross profit on product sales for the second quarter of 2004 was $25.8 million, or 25.5% of sales, an increase from the $21.2 million, or 23.9% of sales, in the second quarter of 2003. Despite the increase in material costs, primarily steel, gross profit as a percent of sales was higher due to increased productivity. Rental gross profit for the second quarter of 2004 was $3.2 million, an increase of $1.8 million over the second quarter of 2003. Increased revenues more than offset the increase in rental cost of sales resulting from higher depreciation expense from the acquisition of Safway. Gross profit on the sales of used rental equipment for the second quarter of 2004 was $2.4 million, or 59.1% of sales, compared to $8.1 million, or 73.6% of sales, for the second quarter of 2003. Used rental equipment tends to be sporadic sporadic /spo·rad·ic/ (spo-rad´ic) occurring singly; widely scattered; not epidemic or endemic.

 and, therefore, difficult to predict in any one quarter.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased to $21.9 million in the recent quarter from $19.7 million for the second quarter of 2003, due to the acquisition of Safway. Interest expense increased to $11.7 million for the second quarter of 2004 from $9.0 million for the second quarter of 2003, due to the higher interest rate from the senior second secured notes issued in 2003, and higher borrowings.

The Company reported a net loss of $(2.7) million for the second quarter of 2004, versus a net loss of $(0.5) million for the second quarter of 2003.

Sales for the six months ended July July: see month.  2, 2004 totaled $204.3 million, a 14.7% increase from a year earlier six-month sales of $178.2 million.

Product sales were $176.5 million for the first six months of 2004, an increase of 22.9% from the same period of 2003. The increase in sales was due to an increase in volume and previously announced price increases. Rental revenue increased $5.7 million for the first six months of 2004, an increase of 41.9% from the first six months of 2003. The contribution from the acquisition of Safway was enhanced by a slight increase in volume in existing product lines. Used rental equipment sales decreased to $8.5 million for the first six months of 2004 from $21.0 million for the first six months of 2003, as two large transactions from 2003 did not recur. Used rental equipment tends to be sporadic and, therefore, difficult to predict in any one quarter.

Gross profit on product sales for the first six months of 2004 was $41.7 million, or 23.6% of sales, an increase of 70 basis points over the same period of 2003. Despite the increase in material costs, primarily steel, gross profit as a percent of sales improved as a result of increased productivity. Rental gross profit for the first six months of 2004 was $5.1 million, an increase of $1.8 million over the second quarter of 2003. Increased revenues more than offset the increase in rental cost of sales resulting from higher depreciation expense as a result of the acquisition of Safway. Gross profit on the sales of used rental equipment for the first six months of 2004 was $5.3 million, or 62.3% of sales, compared to $15.3 million, or 72.8% of sales, for the first six months of 2003.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased to $44.5 million in the recent six months from $39.1 million for the first six months of 2003. The increase was due to the acquisition of Safway, and to a lesser extent, the higher sales volume. Interest expense increased to $23.6 million for the first six months of 2004 from $17.1 million for the first six months of 2003. This increase was primarily due to the higher interest rate from the senior second secured notes, and higher borrowings.

The Company reported a net loss of $(18.6) million for the first six months of 2004, versus a net loss of $(5.9) million for the first six months of 2003.
