ITEM 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
Forward Looking Statements
Management's discussion of the Company's fiscal 2008 results in comparison to fiscal 2007 contains forward-looking statements regarding current expectations, risks and uncertainties for future periods. The actual results could differ materially from those discussed herein due to a variety of factors such as changes in customer demand for its products, cancellation of production agreements by significant customers including two Contract Manufacturing customers it depends upon for a significant portion of its business, material increases in the cost of base paper stock, competition in the Company's product areas, an inability of management to successfully reduce operating expenses including labor and waste costs in relation to net sales without damaging the long-term direction of the Company, the Company's ability to increase sales and earnings as a result of new projects, the Company's ability to successfully install new equipment on a timely basis, the Company's ability to produce new products, the Company's ability to continue to improve profitability, the Company's ability to successfully attract new customers through our sales initiatives to fill its newly created capacity, the effects of the economy in general and the Company's ability to improve the run rates for its products.

ITEM 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations-Continued
Net Sales:
Consolidated net sales increased $0.9 million (3%) to $30.7 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2008, when compared to the same period last year. This was due to an increase of $0.1 million (0.4%) in the Contract Manufacturing segment and an increase of $0.8 million (14%) in the Business Imaging segment. For the nine months ended June 30, 2008, net sales increased $0.7 million (1%) when compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2007. This was due to an increase of $0.6 million (1%) in the Contract Manufacturing segment and an increase of $0.1 million (0.4%) in the Business Imaging segment.
The Company depends on two Contract Manufacturing customers for a significant portion of its business. One customer accounted for 30% of the Company's total net sales in the third quarter of fiscal 2008 compared to 29% for the same period in fiscal 2007. This same customer accounted for 34% of the Company's total net sales in the first nine months of fiscal 2008, compared to 32% for the same period last year. The second customer accounted for 40% of the Company's total net sales in the third quarter of fiscal 2008 compared to 44% for the same period in fiscal 2007. This customer accounted for 35% of the Company's total net sales in the first nine months of fiscal 2008, compared to 38% for the same period last year.
In Contract Manufacturing, the increase in revenues for the first nine months was primarily due to two new wipes converting product lines that were not in production for the entire first nine months of fiscal 2007, offset by decreases in customer demand for existing products. The Business Imaging segment sales increase for the first nine months was primarily due to a pass through of raw material increases to the segment's customers. Both segments were affected by the slowdown in the economic environment. Gross Profit:
Consolidated gross profit increased $17,000 (1%) for the third quarter of fiscal 2008 when compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2007. This was due to an increase of $186,000 (15%) in the Contract Manufacturing segment and a decrease of $169,000 (38%) in the Business Imaging segment.
For the nine months ended June 30, 2008, gross profit increased $86,000 (2%) when compared to the same period last year. This was due to an increase of $461,000 (17%) in the Contract Manufacturing segment and a decrease of $375,000 (27%) in the Business Imaging segment.
In Contract Manufacturing, the increase in gross profit for the three and nine months was primarily due to operational gains made as a result of the Company's continuing LEAN Manufacturing and Six Sigma initiatives. In Business Imaging, the decrease in gross profit for the three and nine months was largely due to strong price competition for the segment's products combined with rising raw material costs. The effect of the economic slowdown had a negative impact on both segments.
Operating Expenses:
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $2,000 (0.2%) for the third quarter of fiscal 2008 when compared to the same period in fiscal 2007 and increased $61,000 (2%) when compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2007. Interest Expense and Other Income (Expense) net:
Interest expense decreased $83,000 to $50,000 for the third quarter of fiscal 2008 compared to the same period in fiscal 2007 and decreased $163,000 for the first nine months of fiscal 2008 when compared to the same period in fiscal 2007 due to lower average debt outstanding and lower interest rates on borrowings.

Net Income:
The Company reported net income of $331,000 (per share: $0.07 basic and diluted) for the third quarter of fiscal 2008, versus net income of $287,000 (per share:
$0.06 basic and diluted) for the same period in fiscal 2007.
For the nine months ended June 30, 2008, net income was $562,000 (per share:
$0.12 basic and diluted) compared to net income of $465,000 (per share: $0.10 basic and diluted) for the first nine months of fiscal 2007. Liquidity and Capital Resources:
The Company generated $3.8 million in cash from operations through the first nine months of fiscal 2008, compared to cash provided by operations of $3.4 million for the same period last year. Cash generated from operations for the first nine months of fiscal 2008 resulted from a reduction in accounts receivable of $1.4 million. Accounts payable decreased $0.8 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2008 compared to the same period last year. Inventories decreased $0.7 million as a result of efforts to reduce average on hand inventory levels for major raw material components. Depreciation was $1.6 million for the first nine months.
Net cash used in investing activities was $0.8 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2008, primarily related to capital expenditures to support ongoing operational needs and to a down payment on a canister line to support the Company's growth in the expanding disposable nonwovens wipes market. Net cash used by financing activities was $3.1 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2008, primarily due to the Company paying down its revolving credit line. In February 2008, the Company's Board of Directors approved a program for open market stock repurchases through December 31, 2008 for up to 100,000 shares of its stock at prevailing market prices after concluding that the cash and debt position would enable these purchases without impairment to the Company's capital. A total of 67,000 shares were purchased under the plan for an aggregate purchase price of $0.4 million from approval of the plan through June 30, 2008. The Company's primary need for capital resources is to finance inventories, accounts receivable and capital expenditures. As of June 30, 2008, cash recorded on the balance sheet was $5,680.
The credit agreement governing the Company's revolving credit line, as amended on February 9, 2007 and March 18, 2008, includes a $14.0 million revolving line of credit facility as well as a $1.0 million swing line available for overdrafts and expires on May 18, 2010.
As of August 14, 2008, the Company had approximately $11.0 million available and $4.0 million outstanding under the revolving credit line pursuant to its credit agreement. According to the terms of the credit agreement, the Company is subject to certain financial and operational covenants. As of June 30, 2008, the Company was in compliance with all of its covenants under the credit agreement. Management believes that the Company's operating cash flow, together with amounts available under its credit agreement, are adequate to service the Company's long term obligations as of June 30, 2008 and any budgeted capital expenditures.
The Company intends to retain earnings to finance future operations and expansion and does not expect to pay any dividends within the foreseeable future.
