Material delays continue to impact our ongoing demand. We currently have open orders exceeding $1.3 million. From all accounts, with the volume of orders we receive daily with the variety of products, encompassing residential and commercial, indications point to a strong and growing economy. In talking with our distributors, they concur that business is very good, and that demand remains high. We are grateful for the alarm companies, integrators, OEMs and installers around the globe who put their trust in GRI security products and Labor Saving Device tools.
New product development includes explosion proof contacts which will be UL listed for hazardous locations. We are receiving several calls a week for this high security magnetic reed switch.
