“RSI reports Third Quarter 2008 results”

Tempe, Arizona, February 8, 2008                                       

 

Dear Fellow Shareholders:

 

I am happy to report that Reconditioned Systems, Inc. (“RSI”) was profitable again this quarter, although the environment remains very difficult for our industry.  Our sales continue to lag last year’s for the reasons I discussed in last quarter’s letter.  The consolidation of our two plants into one facility in Tempe was an excellent decision; the new facility has made us more efficient, which should help our margins.  We still have sufficient capacity to handle sales growth for the next several years.

 

For the three months ended December 31 2007, RSI made $168 thousand on sales of $4.9 million.  This compares to a profit of $163 thousand on sales of $4.7 million for the quarter ending December 31, 2006.  

 

The consumer is extremely leveraged and with little wage gains and a slowing economy, I am not optimistic for much growth in our sales. Even though we have made many changes to enhance our sales, it will be difficult to grow sales without taking market share. While in the past, tough economic environments helped our sales, the low cost systems continue to give us tough price competition.  However, I believe that low cost imports will be less of a problem in the future, primarily due to the weakness of the dollar.  In addition, quality and service issues have begun to have an impact on import sales.  Even so, I remain cautious for the next year.

 

We are starting to make sales as a Maxon dealer, and I am hopeful that new systems sales will become an important product line for us.

 

/S/ Scott W. Ryan
