- Cycle Country Accessories Corp. (AMEX: ATC), the recognized leader in development, sales, marketing, and manufacturing of a variety of products for all terrain vehicles (ATV), garden tractors, and golf cars, announced today earnings for the 2nd Quarter, 2008 of four cents (0.04) per share for the three months ended March 31, versus a loss of two cents (-0.02) per share for the three months ended March 31, 2007. Total revenue increased by 40% from $2,787,140 to $3,911,684.

For the first half of the year, the company has announced earnings of fifteen cents (0.15) per share versus three cents per share for the first half of fiscal '07. As has been stated previously, guidance for the full year, fiscal

'08, is projected to be fifteen to twenty cents (0.15 - 0.20).

The increase in revenue for the 2nd Quarter was due to an increase of 77% in ATV Accessories and a 95% increase in Contract Manufacturing. ATC experienced a 53% decrease in the Weekend Warrior business segment, and a decline of 26% in the Wheel Cover business division year over year. The company said a significant percentage of the increase in the ATV Accessories segment was due to the increase in snowplow blade sales as well as an increase in sales to OEM customers. The increase in Contract Manufacturing was due to an increase in orders, mainly from current customers.

The decrease in revenue for Weekend Warrior was due to a decline in sales from their national retail customers and the decrease in wheel cover sales was due to a decline in sales to golf car OEM customers. Said David Davis, Chief Financial Officer, "We believe our Weekend Warrior division has strong potential for long term growth, and we have recently evaluated its current marketing methods and programs to rejuvenate this business segment." Mr. Davis further commented regarding the Wheel Cover division, "New wheel cover designs and the pursuit of new markets for our wheel covers are two of the methods the company is using to offset the declining OEM sales as witnessed by our success in the lawn and garden industry's zero-turn mower market."
