Net sales in the second quarter increased 14.5% to $2,301,000 from $2,009,000 in the prior-year quarter.  For the first six months of 2017, net sales increased 6.1% to $3,951,000 from $3,725,000 for the first six months of the prior year. The increase in the second quarter was primarily due to strong sales of our HazardPRO wireless hazard monitoring systems and improved large order performance.  Additionally, the Company experienced significant growth in our international markets led predominately by sales in Canada.

"We are pleased to report strong second quarter results showing significant increases in both revenue and operating income over the comparable period in the prior year.  We believe customers who deferred capital expenditures late in 2016 began to place those orders in the quarter," said Electro-Sensors President David L. Klenk.

A full analysis of results for the period ended June 30, 2017 is available in the Company's Form 10-Q, which is available on the Company's website at www.electro-sensors.com or through the Securities and Exchange Commission's Edgar database at www.sec.gov.
