LADSON, S.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Force Protection, Inc. (OTCBB: FRPT) today announced sales of $42,160,858 as part of its third quarter results for the three-month period ended September 30, 2006. The company recorded a quarterly gross profit of $7,918,508, and a net profit of $602,698 for the same period. Force Protection has realized year-to-date net profits of $1,171,080, generating year-to-date earnings of $0.03 per share.

“This is Force Protection’s third consecutive month of operating profitability,” said Vice President of Finance Richard Hamilton. “Sales for the quarter bring our 2006 cumulative year-to-date revenue total to $133,037,980, reflecting a dramatic increase from our 2005 full-year results.”

Force Protection was recently named South Carolina’s Fastest-Growing Company in 2006. The award, based on gross revenues and employment, recognizes the top 25 companies that have contributed to the state’s economy. Since their initial deployment to Iraq and Afghanistan in 2003, no fatalities have occurred in a Force Protection vehicle.

“The third quarter was a period of internal growth for the company,” said CEO Gordon McGilton. “We added two new vehicle production lines, improved efficiency within the facilities, and continued our workforce expansion program. The focus on these activities caused an anticipated short-swing dip in our third quarter revenue compared with our second quarter results, but it has positioned us to secure new contracts and handle the increased workload flowing from them.”

USA: Demokraten wollen mehr Geld fürs Militär

Nach ihrem Sieg bei den Kongresswahlen wollen die US-Demokraten als eine ihrer ersten Massnahmen der Armee finanziell unter die Arme greifen.

Das Verteidigungsbudget solle um 75 Milliarden Dollar aufgestockt werden, damit die US-Truppen wieder auf ihre Kampfstärke gebracht werden könnten, sagte der künftige Mehrheitsführer im Senat, Harry Reid, am Mittwoch der «Washington Post».

Er forderte zugleich einen etappenweisen Rückzug der US-Truppen aus dem Irak. Präsident George W. Bush habe noch immer nicht verstanden, wie dringend ein Kurswechsel im Irak sei. «Für ihn geht es nur um den Sieg, aber ich weiss nicht, was das im Irak noch bedeutet. Ich weiss, dass das, was wir tun, nicht funktioniert.»
