Net sales in the second quarter decreased 4.5% to $2,049,000 from $2,146,000 in the prior-year quarter.  For the first nine months of 2019, net sales increased 12.0% to $6,317,000 from $5,642,000 for the first nine months of the prior year.  The year-to-date increase is primarily due to increased sales of HazardPROTM wireless hazard monitoring systems.  In addition, international sales increased 51% for the nine-month period, primarily driven by sales into Canada.

"We are very encouraged by the sales growth of HazardPRO wireless systems," said David L. Klenk, Electro-Sensors' president. "We continue to believe these systems deliver the most advanced hazard monitoring solution at a very competitive overall price point."
