Electronic Tele-Communications, Inc. (ETC) (Pink Sheets: ETCIA) today reported its third quarter 2011 results. Sales for the quarter were $485,633 compared to $510,465 for the 2010 third quarter. The net earnings for the quarter were $61,807 or $0.02 per Class A common share, compared to net earnings of $80,311 or $0.03 per Class A common share for the third quarter of 2010.

Sales for the first nine months of 2011 were $1,170,563 compared to sales of $1,293,687 in the first nine months of 2010. Net earnings for the first nine months of 2011 were $24,304 or $0.01 per Class A common share, compared to a net loss of $41,511 or $0.02 per Class A common share for the first nine months of 2010.

Commenting on the results, ETC President Dean Danner said, “On slightly lower sales compared to 2010, ETC was able to generate a profit in both the third quarter and for the first nine months of 2011 due to ongoing control of overhead expenses and manufacturing costs. There is still weakness and uncertainty in the telecommunications market, but ETC believes that the financial performance of the Company will continue to show improvement. Still, the weakness in parts of the telecommunications market, the ongoing instability in the financial markets, and the sluggishness in the national economy together continue to limit our opportunities for growth.”

ETC also supports a network of Time Weather and Temperature systems installed throughout the United States.
