<P align="left" style="font-size: 9pt">Net sales for the second quarter of 2009 were $95.0&nbsp;million, a 25.3% decrease compared to net sales
of $127.1&nbsp;million for the prior year period, as the economic recession continued to depress
customer demand. Gross profit decreased to $55.9&nbsp;million in the second quarter of 2009, a $17.6
million decline from the year ago quarter. Gross profit margin for the second quarter of 2009
increased by one percentage point to 58.8% compared to 57.8% in the second quarter of 2008. The
margin rebound is attributable to improvements in the MRO gross margin along with an increase in
the proportion of total sales generated by the higher margin MRO segment. Selling, general and
administrative expenses decreased by $13.3&nbsp;million or 20.2% to $52.9&nbsp;million as compared to $66.2
million in the second quarter 2008. Lower compensation expense, including sales commissions, as
well as other cost reduction initiatives contributed to the reduced expense level.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 9pt">Operating income for the second quarter of 2009 was $3.4&nbsp;million compared to an operating loss of
$29.1&nbsp;million in 2008. The 2009 second quarter results include a $0.4&nbsp;million benefit from the sale
of property, while settlement and related costs, severance and unclaimed property charges, totaled
$36.3&nbsp;million in 2008. Excluding the effect of these items, the 2009 adjusted operating income of
$3.0&nbsp;million was $4.2&nbsp;million less than the adjusted operating income of $7.2&nbsp;million recorded in
2008. The Company reported net income of $1.8&nbsp;million or $0.22 per share in the second quarter of
2009, which compared to a net loss of $29.7&nbsp;million or $3.48 per share in the second quarter of
2008.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 9pt">The $14.7&nbsp;million of cash generated from operations during the quarter was primarily due to the
Company&#146;s continuing efforts to shorten its operating working capital cycle by reducing excess
inventories, expediting collection of accounts receivable and managing cash outflows. These major
efforts allowed the Company to eliminate the $13.1&nbsp;million of borrowings on the credit facility
during the quarter. Cash on hand at June&nbsp;30, 2009 was $11.0&nbsp;million.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 9pt">Net sales for the six month period ended June&nbsp;30, 2009, were $194.4&nbsp;million, a 23.2% decrease
compared to net sales of $253.0&nbsp;million for the prior year period. Gross profit decreased to $110.0
million in the first six months of 2009, a $37.5&nbsp;million decline from the year ago period. Gross
profit margins declined to 56.6% for the first six months of 2009 as compared to 58.3% in 2008,
resulting primarily from a competitive pricing environment, a change in the sales mix to lower
margin products and an increase in inventory reserves. Selling, general and administrative expenses
decreased by $21.6&nbsp;million or 16.5% to $109.5&nbsp;million as compared to $131.1&nbsp;million in the prior
year period, primarily due to lower compensation expense including sales commissions.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 9pt">The operating loss for the first six months of 2009 was $5.5&nbsp;million compared to $21.2&nbsp;million in
2008. Settlement and related costs, severance and unclaimed property charges, totaled $6.0&nbsp;million
in 2009 and $37.7&nbsp;million in 2008. Excluding the effect of these charges, adjusted operating income
for the first half of 2009 was $0.5&nbsp;million as compared to adjusted operating income of $16.5
million in 2008. The Company reported a net loss of $4.1&nbsp;million or $0.48 per share of common stock
in the first six months of 2009, which compared to a net loss of $25.3&nbsp;million or $2.97 per share
in the first six months of 2008.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 9pt">Thomas Neri, President and Chief Executive Officer commented, &#147;We are beginning to see positive
results from the cost reduction initiatives we implemented over the last several months. While we
are not totally satisfied with our second quarter results, we are pleased to have had a profitable
quarter in an extremely challenging economic environment. Moreover, with hard work and focus, we
generated significant cash flow this quarter.&#148;
<BR>
&#147;We remain focused on minimizing non-value added activities and reducing their associated costs.
Beyond our cost initiatives, we are working hard to implement measures focused on improving
customer relationships and service. For example, we are in the process of realigning our sales and
marketing organizations for improved productivity which will greatly improve our customers&#146;
experience. Although these changes will take several more quarters to fully implement, we believe
they will position us to compete more effectively and will be important to driving our next stage
of growth.&#148;


<P align="left" style="font-size: 9pt">Mr.&nbsp;Neri concluded, &#147;Finally, I am very pleased our dedicated employees and sales agents have
worked diligently to return our company to profitability. We have focused on strengthening our
talent base and cultivating a continuous improvement culture focused on the customer. I am
confident this highly energized workforce will successfully execute our strategies.&#148;

<P align="left" style="font-size: 9pt">The Company reports its financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles (GAAP). However, the Company&#146;s management believes that certain non-GAAP financial
measures may provide users of this financial information additional meaningful comparisons between
current results and results in prior operating periods. Management believes that these non-GAAP
financial measures can provide additional meaningful reflection of underlying trends of the
business because they provide a comparison of historical information that excludes certain
infrequently occurring or non-operational items that impact the overall comparability. See the
table below for supplemental financial data and corresponding reconciliations to GAAP financial
measures for the three months and six months ended June&nbsp;30, 2009 and 2008. Non-GAAP financial
measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, the Company&#146;s reported
results prepared in accordance with GAAP.
