Aerosonic Corporation (NYSE AMEX:AIM), a leading supplier of precision flight products for commercial, business and military aircraft, announced that today it filed its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended July 31, 2009, with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.

Net sales for the second quarter of fiscal year 2010 increased $2,152,000, or 36%, to $8,114,000 when compared to $5,962,000 for the second quarter of fiscal year 2009. On a year to date basis, net sales were $16,888,000 during the first six months of fiscal year 2010, an increase of $4,275,000, or 34%, when compared to $12,613,000 for the first six months of fiscal year 2009. The increase in sales for the respective periods was primarily the result of increased productivity across several product lines, including our transmitter product line. We were successful in stabilizing manufacturing processes and improving upon critical manufacturing and planning processes.

Gross profit increased from 34% for the second quarter of fiscal year 2009 to 39% for the second quarter of fiscal year 2010. On a year to date basis, gross profit increased from 27% for the first six months of fiscal year 2009 to 38% for the first six months of fiscal year 2010. The three month comparative increase in gross profit percentage, as well as the year to date comparative increase in gross profit percentage, is primarily attributable to the improvement in operational performance across several product lines.

The Company reported net income for the quarter ended July 31, 2009 of approximately $556,000, or $0.15 basic and $0.14 diluted earnings per share, versus a net loss of approximately ($234,000), or ($0.06) basic and diluted loss per share for the quarter ended August 1, 2008. For the six months ended July 31, 2009, the Company reported net income of approximately $1,931,000, or $0.53 basic and $0.51 diluted earnings per share, versus a net loss of approximately ($470,000), or ($0.13) basic and diluted loss per share for the six months ended August 1, 2008.

“The primary difference between last year’s quarterly results and the quarter just completed is our increasingly capable Operations team led by COO Tom Cason. While we have further work to do, our team is beginning to build consistency and momentum while demonstrating the dedication to improvement that our customer’s expect,” noted Doug Hillman, President and CEO.
