<P align="left" style="font-size: 9pt">Net sales for the third quarter of 2010 were $89.3&nbsp;million, a 6.2% increase over $84.1&nbsp;million for
the prior year period, primarily from continued growth with the Company&#146;s strategic, governmental
and automotive customers. These, as well as the Company&#146;s other customer segments, continued to
respond positively to the Company&#146;s tailored solutions, new product offerings and technical
expertise.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 9pt">Gross profit increased to $56.1&nbsp;million in the third quarter of 2010, a $2.0&nbsp;million improvement
over the prior year third quarter. Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) decreased
0.9% and decreased as a percent of sales. The Company was able to realize lower SG&A through
additional efficiencies and productivity gains while continuing to invest in its ongoing sales
transformation, network optimization and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP)&nbsp;initiatives. The
Company incurred $1.6&nbsp;million of ERP expenses during the quarter. These investments are
strengthening the Company&#146;s foundation for future growth by streamlining core business functions of
its MRO business, enhancing the overall customer experience and improving sales effectiveness.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 9pt">Operating income in the third quarter of 2010 was $8.6&nbsp;million compared to $3.6&nbsp;million in 2009.
The Company reported income from continuing operations of $5.9&nbsp;million or $0.69 per share in the
third quarter of 2010 compared to income from continuing operations of $2.8&nbsp;million or $0.33 per
share in the third quarter of 2009.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 9pt">During the quarter, the Company finalized a pending legal claim against a competitor in favor of
the Company in the amount of $4.1&nbsp;million of which $3.5&nbsp;million was realized in the quarter.
Excluding severance of $1.5&nbsp;million and the legal settlement of $3.5&nbsp;million, adjusted non-GAAP
operating income for the quarter was $6.5&nbsp;million compared to $4.1&nbsp;million in last year&#146;s period.
These items positively impacted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations for the
quarter by $0.16. Net income diluted earnings per share was negatively impacted by $0.29 per share
from discontinued operations.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 9pt">During the third quarter, the Company continued to make significant progress on key business
initiatives:

quarter operating performance. Our team has worked hard to execute our business plan and the
results reflect their progress. We continue to focus on transforming our business and have made
significant progress with our ERP implementation and sales force restructuring. The sale of our ACS
business generated cash and freed up valuable resources that we will use to further invest in our
MRO business. We believe these past and planned future investments as well as operational
improvements will strengthen our business, deliver long-term shareholder value and enhance the
customer experience.&#148;


<P align="left" style="font-size: 9pt">Net sales for the nine months ended September&nbsp;30, 2010, were $260.1&nbsp;million, a 2.2% improvement
over net sales of $254.5&nbsp;million in the first nine months of 2009. Gross profit increased to $163.3
million for the nine months ended September&nbsp;30, 2010, a $3.4&nbsp;million increase over last year&#146;s
period. Gross profit as a percent of sales remained constant at 62.8% for both the nine months
ended September&nbsp;30, 2010 and 2009. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 2.0% and
decreased as a percent of sales, driven by streamlining the Company&#146;s cost structure, including the
closure of the Dallas and Charlotte distribution centers in 2009 and a 9% staff reduction.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 9pt">Operating income for the nine months ended September&nbsp;30, 2010 was $15.7&nbsp;million compared to $0.5
million in 2009. The Company reported income from continuing operations of $9.5&nbsp;million or $1.11
per share of common stock in the first nine months of 2010, compared to income from continuing
operations of $0.6&nbsp;million or $0.07 per share in the comparable 2009 period. Excluding severance of
$3.2&nbsp;million, a favorable legal settlement of $4.1&nbsp;million and the gain on the disposal of property
of $1.7&nbsp;million, adjusted non-GAAP operating income for the quarter was $13.1&nbsp;million compared to
$6.7&nbsp;million in 2009. These non-recurring items positively impacted diluted earnings per share
from continuing operations for the nine months ended September&nbsp;30, 2010 by $0.19. Net income
diluted earnings per share was negatively impacted by $0.24 per share from discontinued operations.

<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 nine months ended September&nbsp;30, 2010 and 2009. 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.
