Larry Kingsley, President and CEO, said, “It was a difficult quarter, especially as the Eurozone struggled and our previously announced “global go-live” ERP transition disrupted our supply chain more than anticipated. As a result of this temporary disruption, certain shipments of high margin consumables were delayed and we incurred substantial additional costs to take care of our customers. The ERP transition issues are being resolved and we are making good progress in filling past due orders. We expect to have caught up with backorders by this August, which is the beginning of our FY ’13, and we are grateful for the continued patience and support of our customers.”
