) announced that for the first quarter ended Sept. 30, 1995, sales were $8,999,524 and net income was $431,329, or $.14 per share.

The prior year's first quarter net sales Net Sales

The amount a seller receives from the buyer after costs associated with the sale are deducted.

Notes:
This amount is calculated by subtracting the following items from gross sales: merchandise returned for credit, allowances for damaged or missing goods, freight
 were $9,499,059 and the net profit was $770,733, or $.26 per share.

Mr. Fountain said that net earnings were less for the first quarter of this fiscal year primarily because net sales and gross margin on sales were less than for the first quarter of last year. Selling price increases planned for the new fiscal year were only partially in effect for the first quarter because orders for most of the boats sold in the first quarter were taken prior to the effective date of the price increases.

Beginning in October October: see month. , all sales will be at the new, higher prices. Operating expenses Operating expenses

 were also somewhat higher this year than last year.

Looking ahead, Mr. Fountain pointed Fountain Point is an historic landmark located in Suttons Bay Township, Michigan, which is part of Leelanau County and the Leelanau Peninsula. Its name is derived from a fountain of sparkling artesian spring water,[1] situated on a large point on Lake Leelanau,  out that the company has the largest number of sales backorders that it has ever had at this time of the year. The sales backlog Backlog

 is for approximately 120 boats having an estimated sales value of $12,000,000. He believes that earnings will be significantly better over the remainder of the year as:

-- Selling price increases take effect,

-- Building additions are completed to smooth the flow of boats through the manufacturing process,

-- Quality and productivity are improved by implementing improved manufacturing processes, and

-- A highly profitable new product, the 47' Lightning lightning, electrical discharge accompanied by thunder, commonly occurring during a thunderstorm  Sport Boat, is built and sold.
