Galvanic Applied Sciences Inc. Announces Third Quarter Report
CALGARY, March 24 /CNW/ - Galvanic Applied Sciences Inc. (GAV: TSX-V) announces the following results for its period ended January 31, 2010 and January 31, 2009.
Three Months Ended January 31, ------------------------ 2010 2009 $ $ ------------------------ Revenue 3,264,000 3,763,000 Gross margin 1,301,000 1,414,000 Net earnings before income taxes and reorganization costs 160,000 247,000 Reorganization costs 44,000 - Net earnings 116,000 247,000 Net earnings per common share 0.01 0.02
For the three-month period ended January 31, 2010 the Company reported net earnings of $116,000 or $0.01 per common share on revenues of $3.2 million as compared to net earnings of $247,000 or $0.02 per common share on revenues of $3.8 million in the corresponding prior period. This decline in net earnings after tax was largely due to the impact of lower margins, reorganization costs necessary to facilitate a new distribution agreement and foreign currency losses which offset improvements in selling, marketing and general and administrative expenses.
The outlook for the fourth quarter indicates revenues will continue to lag last year's levels based on existing orders and goods shipped to date. Quotation activity has slowed in the quarter while outstanding quotations from previous quarters languish as pending but not yet awarded. These quotes are expected to become orders eventually which could provide some incremental revenue in the quarter. The Company's Balance Sheet remains in excellent condition with $3.2 million of cash and no debt which will position the Company for growth as opportunities arise.
