Abatix Corp 10-Q Quarterly Report May 2007

MESQUITE, Texas, May 10 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- ABATIX CORP. (Nasdaq: ABIX) today announced net sales of $17,258,000 for the first three months of 2007 increased 4% from net sales of $16,606,000 in 2006 and net earnings of $359,000 or $.21 per share for 2007 increased from net earnings of $220,000 or $.13 per share in 2006. The increase in sales for 2007 is primarily attributable to volume increases in the industrial and construction markets as the U.S. economy remains stable. The increase in profitability is primarily attributed to the change in product mix and higher sales volume. General and administrative costs were higher in 2007 primarily due to costs associated with our Jacksonville facility which opened in August 2006 and increased costs related to our efforts to comply with the internal control provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

Mr. Terry Shaver, CEO, stated, "We are pleased with the efforts of our people and the confidence our customer base has shown in the Abatix team. We are hopeful the U.S. economy continues to remain stable overall, in spite of the decline in the residential housing market and continued rise in fuel prices. We are focused on servicing our existing customer base, while also adding new customers."

Mr. Shaver, continued, "We continue to evaluate new product lines and additional sourcing opportunities that enhance our long-term growth prospects. We also continue to focus on improving our cost structure and the efficiency of our operations. However, any improvements to the cost structure will be negated by the costs to comply with the internal control provisions of Sarbanes-Oxley. In addition to the cash paid to consultants to help with the process, we have many talented team members spending significant time related to this work that could be spent on growing sales and improving profitability."
