“RSI reports Fourth Quarter 2007 results”

Tempe, Arizona, May 11, 2007                                                        

 

Dear Fellow Shareholders:

 

I am pleased to report that Reconditioned Systems, Inc. (“RSI”) was profitable again this quarter.  Although we had only budgeted for flat sales and earnings for this fiscal year ending March 31, 2007, we did not achieve our budget.  Last year was the best in RSI’s history, and we knew it would be hard to repeat.  I am extremely happy to report that both our Atlanta and our Tucson divisions were profitable for the year.  This is the first year they have showed a profit since we opened them.

 

For the three months ending March 31 2007, RSI made pre-tax income of $350 thousand on sales of $5.1 million.  This compares to a pre-tax profit of $545 thousand on sales of $5.4 million for the quarter ending March 31, 2006.  We completed the consolidation of our Albuquerque manufacturing operations into our new facility in Tempe effective April 1, 2007; the associated costs, including severance charges, were expensed in March. Although these expenses hurt this quarter’s results, the consolidation will make a significant positive impact on our margins going forward, and I am excited about our prospects for the future. 

 

I am also excited about Carl Grending becoming the Vice President of Sales for the company.  Up to now, we have had no integrated sales strategy or focus.  I am confident that Carl will develop a unified, professional sales team with improved sales result. 

 

The economy is definitely slowing, especially housing.  With little wage gains, high debt burdens and reduced mortgage refinancing, consumer spending should slow as well. Inflation is actually increasing which makes lower interest rates unlikely and places another strain on the economy.  A recession or at least stagflation is more likely this year.  Despite this, I am pleased with the changes we have made, and I am very optimistic about the next several years for RSI.  We are budgeting for a modest increase in sales and earnings for this next fiscal year.

 

We have paid annual dividends for the last two years.  This year the board again voted to pay an annual dividend of $0.25 on August 31, 2007, to shareholders of record on July 5, 2007.  This is lower than last year and reflects the lower earnings.  As in the past, any future dividends will depend on our performance and financial position.

 

/S/ Scott W. Ryan
