Total net sales for the second quarter of 2009 amounted to $37.0 million, compared to $48.1 million for the same period in 2008. Sales for the second quarter of 2009 for our Lifeboat segment were $25.0 million compared to $35.0 million in the second quarter of 2008, representing a 28% decrease. Excluding VMware, Lifeboat's sales increased by $1.7 million, or 7% compared to the second quarter of 2008. Sales for the second quarter of 2009 for our Programmer's Paradise segment were $12.0 million, compared to $13.1 million in the second quarter of 2008, representing an 8% decrease.
Total gross profit for the second quarter of 2009 amounted to $4.1 million, compared to $4.3 million for the same period in 2008. Gross profit for the second quarter of 2009 for our Lifeboat segment was $2.5 million, compared to $2.8 million in the second quarter of 2008, representing a 13% decrease. This decrease in gross profit was due to the lower sales volume. Gross profit for the second quarter of 2009 for our Programmer's Paradise segment was $1.6 million, compared to $1.5 million in the second quarter of 2008, representing a 6% increase. This increase was primarily due to a shift in mix of order size. We sold more of our smaller, specialized software lines, which typically carry higher margins. As a result, gross profit increased 6% as compared to last year, despite the 8% decrease in revenue as compared to last year.
Total gross profit, as a percentage of net sales, for the quarter ending June 30, 2009, was 11%, compared to 8.9% in the second quarter of 2008.
Cash and marketable securities amount to $16.5 million, representing 68% of our equity as of June 30, 2009. We have no debt.
"During the second quarter of 2009 we delivered solid second quarter results despite the continued recessionary business climate impacting every segment of the economy," said Simon F. Nynens, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.
Total selling, general, and administrative ("SG&A") expenses for the second quarter of 2009 were $2.9 million compared to $3.1 million in the second quarter of 2008.
Net income for the second quarter of 2009 amounted to $790,000 or 2.1% of net sales as compared to $823,000 or 1.7% for the same period in 2008.
On July 28, 2009, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $.15 per share of its common stock payable August 20, 2009 to shareholders of record on August 13, 2009.
