In March 2004, the FASB issued Staff Position No. FAS 106-2, “Accounting and Disclosure Requirements Related to the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003, "the Act,"”(“FSP No. 106-2”) in response to a new law regarding prescription drug benefits under Medicare (“Medicare Part D”) as well as a federal subsidy to sponsors of retiree health care benefit plans that provide a benefit that is at least actuarially equivalent to Medicare Part D. Currently, Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 106, “Employers’ Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions” (“No. 106”) requires that changes in relevant law be considered in current measurement of postretirement benefit costs. The Company’s measures of the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation and the net periodic postretirement benefit cost do not reflectedreflect the effects of the subsidy, because it has not yet been concluded whether the benefits under the Company’s plan are actuarially equivalent to Medicare Part D. FSP No. 106-2 will be effective beginning in the postretirement benefit costs in these statements. Authoritative guidance on accounting for the federal subsidy provided by "the Act" is pending and that guidance, when issued, could require the Company to change previously reported information. third quarter of 2004.

The increase in net sales was primarily attributable to higher product sales in the industrial, international and construction markets. While these markets showed signs of economic recovery, sluggish spendingthe water and wastewater market, one of the Company’s largest, remained slow primarily due to municipal and state funding issues.

Cost of products sold for the second quarter 2004 was $39,946,000 compared to $37,995,000 during 2003, an increase of $1,951,000 or 5.1%. As a percentage of net sales, cost of products sold was 78.6% in 2004, compared to 77.1% in 2003.

the general economic recovery. Increases in revenues from pump products of 6.5%, and to a lesser extent improvement in sales of fabricated products to the power generation market increased $796,000 during the current quarter as compared toperiod, accounted for the increase over the first quartersix months 2003. The backlog of orders at the end of the first quarterJune 30, 2004, was $56.4 million$60,300,000 compared to $69.5 million a year ago,$66,800,000 at June 30, 2003, a decline of $13.1 million,$6,500,000 or 18.8%9.7%.

As a percentage of sales, cost of products sold was 79.5%79.1% in 2004 compared to 80.8%78.9% in 2003. TheHigher material costs, product mix factors and costs related to low volume at some divisions more than offset the favorable impact from the rate reduction resultedresulting from the effect of the Company'sCompany’s operating leverage on increased shipmentssales and the benefit from continuing cost containment programs.

Selling, general, and administrative ("(“S,G&A"&A”) expenses were $6,859,000$13,961,000 in 2004 compared to $6,763,000$13,958,000 in 2003, an increase of $96,000 or 1.4%.2003. As a percent of net sales, S,G&A expenses were 13.9% in 2004 compared to 15.4%15.0% in 2003.

Other income was $290,000$485,000 in 2004 compared to $362,000$511,000 in 2003, a decrease of $72,000$26,000 or 19.9%5.1%.
