Net sales increased by $499,000 or 3.4%, from $14,764,000 in the second quarter of 2006 to $15,263,000 in the second quarter of 2007. The Circuits Segment was down $139,000 or 1.1% over the same period last year. Weak market conditions in printed circuit boards and the strengthening Canadian dollar drove the year over year change. The Circuits segment is outperforming the overall market, which is down approximately 10% in 2007 in North America, excluding any exchange rate impact. The Aerospace segment grew over the same quarter last year by $638,000 or 23.8% due to the investments made in 2006 to increase capacity and the ongoing lean manufacturing program which together with strong customer demand resulted in increased shipments. The record revenue for the Corporation was achieved in spite of the ongoing strengthening of the Canadian dollar.

Gross margin increased by $377,000 to $3,653,000 or 23.9% of sales for the second quarter of 2007 as compared with $3,276,000 or 22.3% of sales in the second quarter of 2006. The increase in gross margins is directly attributable to the higher revenue at FTG, particularly at FTG Aerospace with their higher average gross margins, offset by the slightly lower throughput in FTG Circuits and the ongoing margin squeeze due to the industry price pressures and material cost increases. The ongoing strengthening of the Canadian dollar continues to negatively impact overall gross margins. Also in the quarter FTG recorded a $ 554,000 recovery for Scientific Research and Experimental Development (SR&ED) in cost of sales which helped to offset the ongoing investment in research and development costs incurred by the Corporation.

Net earnings for the second quarter of 2007 were $341,000 or $0.02 per share ($0.02 per diluted share) as compared with $408,000 or $0.02 per share ($0.02 per diluted share) in the second quarter of 2006.

“We are pleased with the continued revenue growth for the Corporation and are excited to exceed $15 million in revenue in a quarter for the first time ever. Our focus on the aerospace and defence market continues to prove to be a good decision, as this market has been robust and looks strong into the future,” commented Brad Bourne, President and CEO, FTG Corporation. He added, “our strong sales team continues to position FTG favourably on a number of key new accounts and programs.”

Operating Business Update

FTG Aerospace has performed well in all aspects of the business from new customer wins, through revenue growth, profit growth, new product development, and operational performance. FTG Aerospace will move into a new facility in the coming months, a key step in ensuring capacity requirements to support continued future growth. FTG Aerospace will also benefit from a move to a new end-to end integrated business system in the third quarter that is another key element of enhancing infrastructure to support growth.

FTG Circuits – Chatsworth has turned the corner and realized strong bookings and shipments in the quarter. Key additions in Operations management have further strengthened the business unit, as it is meeting many new customer qualifications and making great progress in penetrating the rigid flex market. With the installation and commissioning of the equipment and systems purchased for that site over the past year, capabilities and capacity are growing.

FTG Circuits – Toronto continued to see strong demand for very high technology products for next generation aircraft. The site is well positioned on many of the new aircraft being developed including the new air transport aircraft at Airbus and Boeing. The technology level continues to stretch the capability of the facility in the short term and has caused a significant increase in outsourcing costs for a few key processes. These costs will start to decrease in the third quarter as new equipment has been ordered and will enable the processes to be done internally. This, combined with improving yields on the new products should result in improving financial performance.

“To continue to improve our financial performance, FTG remains focused on achieving Operational Excellence. Our customers demand high quality products, on time delivery and outstanding customer service. We focus on improving our performance in all of these areas every day. The results of some of our efforts were recently recognized by Rockwell when they awarded FTG Aerospace their Lean Initiative Supplier of the Year” said Mr. Joseph Ricci, Vice President and CFO, FTG Corporation.
