"We are pleased that the actions that we have implemented have had the desired effect of improving our performance from the comparative quarter," said Chester J. Luby, chairman and CEO of Interstate. "While our operating income is still not at levels that we are satisfied with, the trend is encouraging and we intend to continue to closely monitor our expense levels as we grow revenues.

"Our cash and investments have continued to grow and now total nearly $67 million, or $16.13 per share; we have no debt," Luby said. "Book value stands at $5.19 per share. We continue to repurchase shares in the open market and expended $645,000 since the beginning of our fiscal year for such purchases. We will continue to do so as price and market conditions dictate. We view this action as one that benefits all shareholders and an excellent use of our cash resources. Over the years, Interstate has established itself as a leader in the extended service contract and warranty business and we remain confident our our long term prospects."
