CALGARY, Nov. 8 /CNW/ - Alternative Fuel Systems (2004) Inc. ("AFS" or the "Company") (TSX Venture: AFX) announced today its financial results for the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2010. Total revenue for the second quarter was $831,162, up 93% compared to revenue of $429,510 recorded in the same quarter of 2009. Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2010 was $34,031 compared to a loss of ($110,149) in the same period of 2009. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, total revenue was $2,198,457, up 25% compared to $1,754,049 recorded in the same period of 2009. In the first nine months of 2010, the Company had a net loss of ($2,439), while in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 a loss of ($68,181) was recorded.
AFS President and CEO Jim Perry stated, "We continue to see growth in our sales of engine control systems and fuel injectors. These products are primarily being used by customers in India and Thailand as natural gas vehicle numbers increase. In addition, in the third quarter of 2010 we shipped a significant order of natural gas pressure regulators that were ordered as spare parts by a European customer. Overall, product sales revenue in the third quarter of 2010 was slightly more than double that recorded in the same period of 2009."
Mr. Perry added that "We are starting to see an increase in sales of our products to customers in the United States. It appears that a combination of stimulus funds and the drive to reduce dependence on foreign oil supplies is starting to have an effect. Most of these sales are for use in projects where diesel engines are remanufactured to run on natural gas. While these sales are still at a fairly low level, our customers are forecasting significant growth in their activities over the coming year."
