CARLSBAD, Calif.— SPY Inc. (OTCBB: XSPY) reported financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2012. The company’s total net sales increased by $0.5 million, or 5 percent, to $9.5 million for the quarter, compared with total net sales of $9.0 million for the quarter in the prior year. Total net sales increased by $1.9 million, or 13 percent, to $17.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012, compared with total net sales of $15.7 million for the six months of the previous year.

Sales of the company’s core SPY brand products increased by 13 percent to reach $9.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2012, compared with core SPY brand sales of $8.2 million prior year. Other sales were $0.2 million during the quarter, consisting of licensed brand products which are no longer a focus of the company, a statement said. For the six months, sales of core SPY brand products increased by 17 percent to $17.2 million.

The company reported a net loss of $1.6 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2012, compared to a net loss of $3.0 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2011. The reduced loss during the quarter ended June 30, 2012 was primarily due to lower general and administrative expenses, offset by increased sales and marketing expenses related to the SPY brand products, the company said.

"We are once again pleased to have achieved another quarter with nice growth, making it our 5th consecutive quarter of year over year growth of our core products which we believe demonstrates the strength of our SPY brand," said Michael Marckx, president and CEO.
