Total revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 2009 increased 3% to $4.86 million from $4.71 million in the prior-year quarter.

"Product sales drove strong profits," said NVE President and Chief Executive Officer Daniel A. Baker, Ph.D. "Gross margin was 71% of revenue, operating margin 52%, pretax margin 58%, and net margin 39%."
