("NMT") (OTCBB:NMFG), a value-added, vertically integrated manufacturer of enclosed electronic systems and their various sub-assembly components, announced today its revenue and earnings results for the quarter and six months ended Sept. 30, 2000. NMT continued its strong growth in revenues and earnings in its second fiscal quarter. Revenues increased by 136%, to $5.9 million, up from $2.5 million for the same quarter a year ago. This also represented the third consecutive quarter of strong double digit revenue growth, which was across the board in all reporting divisions. Operating Income increased by 188% to $447,000, compared to an operating loss of $508,000 for the same quarter the prior year. Operating Income also reflected a 52% increase over that reported for the immediately prior quarter of the current year. Income from continuing operations of $430,000, $0.04 per share, increased 198% over the prior year's second quarter ended Sept. 30, 1999, which had recorded a loss from continuing operations of $441,000, ($0.04) per share in the prior year. Income from continuing operations also reflected an increase of 93% over that of the immediately prior quarter. For six months ending Sept. 30, 2000 total revenues were $10.9 million, a 157% increase over the total revenues of $4.2 million for the first six months of the prior fiscal year. Total income for the six months ended Sept. 30, 2000, was $1,129,000, $0.11 per share, up 286% over the loss of $607,000, $0.06 per share, recorded for the same period last year. The Enclosure and Metal Fabrication Manufacturing Services Group ("EMF") revenue increased $978,000 or 145% to $1,651,000 from $673,000 for the quarter ended Sept. 30, 1999 as a result of the addition of the sheet metal and enclosure operation and expanded shipments for the metal stamping facility. The Electronics Interconnect Manufacturing Services Group ("EI") revenue increased $2,418,000 to $4,236,000 from $1,818,000 for the quarter ended Sept. 30, 1999, due to an expanding customer base and increased demand from existing customers, which is expected to continue. "We are very pleased with our continuing and exceptionally strong growth in both revenues and operating profits," stated Patrick W. Moore, chairman and chief executive officer. "We expect this momentum to not only continue, but to increase during our third fiscal quarter. We believe the Company will exceed its previous projections for revenues and earning for the fiscal year." "The higher than industry operating profit margins we are demonstrating validates our vertically integrated capabilities strategy. It allows NMT to both gain increased value-added revenues as well as to realize higher profit margins on those revenues," stated Moore. "Particularly important is the fact that we still have very substantial amounts of unused capacity. The economical fashion in which we have added to capacity over the past year will allow us to further increase margins as we move further up our capacity curve," added Moore. "With the range of capabilities we now possess, there is no EMS company anywhere near our size that rivals NMT's internal capacity to serve the enclosed electronics industry. We will continue to see the benefits of our business strategy reflected in a continuation of strong growth and profitability in the balance of the current fiscal year," added Moore. "Our business plan goals during the first six months of this fiscal year were focused on growing revenues and improving earnings through expansion of our customer base. We will continue this plan over the next six months. This will allow us to build cash and reduce our short-term liabilities," stated NMT's Controller, Larry Naritelli.
