Revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 was $16,859,000 and $42,336,000, respectively, an increase of 64% and 69%, respectively, over the prior year period. Organic growth accounted for 56% and an acquisition in March 2006 of a residential HVAC (Heating Ventilation Air Conditioning) In the home or small office with a handful of computers, HVAC is more for human comfort than the machines.

The organic growth in revenue was primarily due to increased demand for the company's industrial/commercial mechanical contracting services.

Net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2006 was $639,000, an increase of 5% over the year-ago period. The primary reason for the modest increase in third quarter net income compared with the year-to-year revenue increase is that there were substantial start-up and related overhead expenses incurred in connection with establishing two additional reinforcing steel fabrication and distribution facilities - Rahway, New Jersey and Hammonton, New Jersey Hammonton, founded by Charles K.

One facility commenced operations in June 2006 and the other one commenced operations in August 2006. Also, lower selling prices for reinforcing steel, due to competitive pricing pressures, have had a negative impact on earnings.

Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was $1,460,000, an increase of 21% over the year-ago period.
