The board of directors of ADS Inc announced the Company's financial results for the second quarter ended July 29, 2007.
The Company's sales volume for continuing activities for the three-month period ended July 29, 2007 was $15.3 million, for an increase of $2.0 million or 15% compared to sales of $13.3 million for the second quarter of the preceding fiscal year. After six months, the Company's sales figures were $26.2 million for growth of $1.3 million, or a little more than 5% on revenues
of $24.9 million for the first half of the preceding fiscal year.
Beckwith Bemis, which was acquired on June 18, 2007, generated sales of $1.6 million during the last quarter.
