For the six months ended 6/30/01, net sales fell 25% to $81.5 million. Net income fell 60% to $5.9 million. Revenues reflect a decrease in firearm unit shipments, and the sale of the Uni-Cast Division. Earnings also suffered from lower profit margins, and costs related to a firearms lock exchange program.
