For the first two quarters of 2000, the Company incurred a loss from continuing operations of $4.9 million, or $1.14 per share, compared to income of $1.1 million, or $.30 per share, realized in the first half of 1999.

 from continuing operations increased to $33.2 million and $66.6 million in the second quarter and first half of 2000, respectively, compared to $21.3 million and $38.9 million in the comparable periods of 1999. The increase was primarily due to sales generated by Herr-Voss. The loss from discontinued operations in 2000 was primarily the result of contract cost overruns Noun 1. cost overrun - excess of cost over budget; "the cost overrun necessitated an additional allocation of funds in the budget"

 slowdown in orders for the Company's capital equipment has caused revenues to be below historical levels. However, revenues generated from the service and spares component of the Company's business have remained strong. Revenues for the first half of 2000 were $66.6 million, which on an annualized annualized

 annual revenues of $146 million in 1998 and $156 million in 1999. Gross margin as a percentage of revenues was 19% in the second quarter of 2000 and 20% in the first half of the year, which is below the historical pro forma margins for the Company's businesses. The lower margins are principally due to the lower revenues realized and to cost overruns on certain contracts, including contracts in process at Herr-Voss at acquisition date. The Company now believes that it has resolved most issues related to those contracts and expects future margins to improve over that realized in the first half of 2000.

The Company received $32.9 million and $61.0 million of orders in the second quarter and first half of 2000, respectively, while its backlog declined from $62.2 million at December 31, 1999 to $55.6 million at June 30, 2000. Until the Company can increase its monthly order rate and backlog to more historical levels ($12-$15 million of orders per month and over $70 million of backlog), it will likely not be able to achieve the performance levels expected from its businesses.

During the second quarter of 2000, the Company's GenCoat subsidiary booked the largest coil processing equipment order in its history. The $7.2 million order, placed by Eagle Picher Corporation, Wolverine wolverine or glutton, largest member of the weasel family, Gulo gulo, found in the northern parts of North America and Eurasia, usually in high mountains near the timberline or in tundra.  Gasket Division, includes equipment for uncoiling, cleaning, coating, curing and recoiling metal coils and is scheduled for delivery in January 2001.
