Avcorp announces 2010 Second Quarter Results
VANCOUVER, Aug. 13 /CNW/ - Avcorp (AVP on the Toronto Stock Exchange) today announced its financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2010.
During the quarter ended June 30, 2010, the Company recorded a loss from operations of $1,991,000 on $18,710,000 revenue, as compared to $552,000 income from operations on $16,172,000 revenue for the same quarter of the preceding year; and a net loss for the current quarter of $2,297,000 as compared to a net income of $65,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2009.
It should be noted that the current quarter loss includes a $285,000 foreign exchange gain, while income for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 included a $3,962,000 foreign exchange gain which occurred as a result of holding foreign-currency-denominated receivables, payables and debt.
The Company has realized the expected revenue growth in 2010 from full rate production of the Boeing Defense Space & Security CH47 helicopter and the Cessna Citation CJ4 business jet; both programs were in start-up phase for the Company in 2009. Additionally, the Company will experience moderate revenue growth during the second half of 2010 as a result of program re-starts and production rate increases. The previously announced signing of an agreement with BAE Systems Operations Ltd. for the production of the F35 CV-OBW will further increase revenues in 2011.
Cash flows from operating activities during the current quarter utilized $1,042,000 of cash, as compared to providing $2,272,000 of cash during the quarter ended June 30, 2009. The Company has a working capital surplus of $2,130,000 as at June 30, 2010 (December 31, 2009: $820,000 surplus) and an accumulated deficit of $70,381,000 at June 30, 2010 (December 31, 2009: $65,379,000).
As at June 30, 2010, the Company was not in compliance with financial covenants associated with its operating lines of credit. The lender had agreed to forbear from demanding payment of the indebtedness and from taking steps to enforce the security, subject to the Company complying with terms and conditions of a Forbearance Agreement which ends on October 15, 2010. Also, as at June 30, 2010, the Company was not in compliance with a financial covenant associated with the convertible debenture held by Export Development Canada. The Company has obtained a waiver from the debenture holder for this non-compliance.
