``The first quarter sales increase of 9% from the previous years first quarter was within our projections,'' said Kenneth D. McClain, president and CEO. ``While demand for our products is up, net income, was down due to higher interest expense on inventories of expected sales in our truck division, which will be shipped during the second quarter of fiscal 2000. We expect the sales and earnings trend of fiscal 1999 to continue during fiscal 2000.''
