Coil product segment sales increased approximately $7,916,000 during the 2010 period. This increase resulted primarily from an increase in tons sold and a significant increase in the average selling price. Coil tons shipped increased from approximately 32,000 tons in the 2009 period to approximately 35,000 tons in the 2010 period and the average per ton selling price increased from approximately $542 per ton in the 2009 period to $723 per ton in the 2010 period. Margins earned on sales of coil products were adversely impacted in both the 2009 and 2010 periods by soft demand. Also, the Company incurred significant increases in cost of coil material in the 2010 period that could not be readily passed on to its customers. Management believes that market conditions for coil products will not improve until the U.S. economy improves and generates significant improvement in demand for durable goods.
