“RSI reports Third Quarter 2005 results”

Tempe, Arizona, February 1, 2005                                                 

 

Dear Fellow Shareholders:

 

I am pleased to report that Reconditioned Systems, Inc. (“RSI”) was profitable again this quarter.  We are just slightly ahead of our budget for sales and profits year to date and I expect that we will meet our forecasts for the year.  I am extremely proud of our accomplishments so far this year.

 

We continue to lack pricing power and the discounting is still heavy by Haworth and the other primary manufacturers.  However, we are beginning to see the as-is market dry up and we see a general increase in demand for furniture.  This bodes well for the future and I am hopeful that this will continue.

 

We still believe that RSI is the only re-manufacturer that is approved as an authorized General Services Administration (“GSA”) vendor.  As you may know, GSA is the purchasing arm of the federal government.  We hope to be able to take advantage of this as more government purchasing is for recycled products.  We have seen a steady annual increase in GSA sales.

 

For the three months ended December 31 2004, RSI made $159 thousand on sales of $5.0 million.  This compares to a profit of $150 thousand on sales of $4.9 million for the quarter ending December 31, 2003.   We continue to believe that the economy and our business are steadily improving.  We remain cautiously optimistic for the next quarter and for our next fiscal year. 

 

We have not realized any substantial savings from the merger and synergy between Beck Office Systems and our Tempe manufacturing plants.  While we continue to be extremely pleased with the merger, we are currently exploring ways of making this combination yield more profits for your company.  This will be a focus of the Board of Directors over the next year. 

 

 

/S/ Scott W. Ryan
