Hudson City Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: HCBK,) July 22, 2009 second quarter profit jumped nearly 16% beating the estimates and retaining a significant growth in deposits over the period. However, the increase in net income was shadowed by rising bad loans which have accumulated over the period.

Kaydon Corporation (NYSE: KDN) July 31, 2009 today announced its results for the second fiscal quarter ended July 4, 2009.

During the second quarter of 2009, sales of friction control products totaled $64.2 million compared to $86.8 million in the prior second quarter. Sales to all major markets, except wind energy, in the first half of 2009 were below the comparable periods of the prior year. Sales to the defense market were below prior year for the quarter and year to date as the prior year's MRAP production and shipments have not thus far been replaced by this year's combined MRAP and M-ATV shipments. The recent awards for the M-ATV program have resulted in orders and will result in shipments in the second half of 2009 with additional potential orders as the program continues to ramp up.

Sales to the wind energy market were $19.8 million in the second quarter of 2009, an increase of $0.6 million compared to the second quarter of 2008. Sales to the wind energy market for the first six months of 2009 increased to $40.7 million, 17 percent higher than the first six months of 2008. While long term policy discussions and legislative proposals centering on reducing carbon emissions and promoting growth in renewable energy alternatives remain positive for the long term, the absence of a well-defined renewable electricity standard on a national basis and ongoing customer issues associated with their accessing the financing markets have impacted both current orders and shipments. The lack of visibility and readily accessible financing has resulted in customers continuing to defer receipt of shipments and to refrain from placing new orders until conditions improve.

Second quarter 2009 friction control products operating income totaled $9.8 million, compared to $22.1 million in the prior second quarter. Results of this segment were affected by lower volumes, adverse changes in product mix, higher pension and depreciation costs, and costs incurred related to labor and other cost reductions.

Sales of velocity control products were $10.2 million in the second quarter of 2009 compared to $20.0 million in the second quarter of 2008, due to reduced demand in all regions and the adverse effects of exchange rate changes. Operating income in the second quarter of 2009 totaled $0.9 million compared to $6.1 million in the second quarter of 2008 due principally to the effects of the lower volume.

Sales of sealing products were $9.6 million in the second quarter of 2009 compared to $11.7 million in the second quarter of 2008, as lower volume was only partially offset by higher pricing. Operating income declined to $0.8 million in the 2009 period due to lower volume and lost absorption in addition to costs associated with the current period's downsizing.
Sales of the Company's remaining businesses equaled $14.3 million during the second quarter of 2009 compared to $21.4 million in the prior second quarter resulting from lower demand for liquid filtration, air filtration, and metal alloy products. Operating income decreased from $3.3 million in the 2008 period to $1.1 million in the 2009 period, due to the lower volumes.

During the second quarter of 2009, the Company paid common stock dividends of $.17 per share or $5.7 million. For the third quarter of 2009, the Company declared a dividend of $.18 per share, payable on October 5, 2009. This 5.9 percent increase in quarterly dividends reflects the Company's confidence in the fundamental strength and cash generating ability of its businesses.

The Company had unrestricted cash totaling $210.7 million, $295.1 million in committed available credit and no debt outstanding as of July 4, 2009.
