"Once again, the performance was outstanding. The first quarter of 2007 is the fifteenth consecutive quarter of double digit revenue growth. Net income grew at more than twice the rate of the sales growth. We continued to take market share with our customer service centric approach." Net sales for the first quarter of 2007 increased 33% or $11.6 million to $46.9 million compared to $35.4 million for the same period in 2006. Total sales for the first quarter of 2007 for our Programmer's Paradise segment were $10.8 million compared to $12.3 million in the first quarter of 2006, representing a 12% decrease. Total sales for the first quarter of 2007 for our Lifeboat segment were $36.1 million compared to $23.1 million in the first quarter of 2006, representing a 56% increase. Gross Profit for the quarter ending March 31, 2007 was $4.5 million compared to $3.8 million in the first quarter of 2006, a 15.9% increase. Total gross profit for our Programmer's Paradise segment was $1.5 million compared to $1.8 million in the first quarter of 2006, representing a 16% decrease. Total gross profit for our Lifeboat segment was $2.9 million compared to $2.0 million in the first quarter of 2006, representing a 45% increase. Gross profit margin, as a percentage of net sales, for the quarter ending March 31, 2007 was 9.5% compared to 10.9% in the first quarter of 2006. Gross profit margin for our Programmer's Paradise segment was 14.2% compared to 15.0% in the first quarter of 2006. Gross profit margin for our Lifeboat segment was 8.1% compared to 8.7% in the first quarter of 2006. The increase in gross margin dollars and the decline in gross margin as a percentage of net sales are mainly the result of the strong growth of our Lifeboat Division. Distribution margins are typically lower than reseller margins. Lifeboat represented 77% of our sales in the first quarter of 2007, compared to 65% of our sales in the first quarter of 2006. Total selling, general, and administrative ("SG&A") expenses for the first quarter of 2007 were $3.0 million, equal compared to $3.0 million in the first quarter of 2006, despite $0.2 million of compensation expenses in the first quarter of 2007 related to the implementation of FAS 123(R) for stock based compensation. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A expenses for the first quarter of 2007 were 6.5% compared to 8.4% in the first quarter of 2006. On April 25, 2007, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $.14 per share of its common stock payable May 19, 2007 to shareholders of record on May 2, 2007.
