Clearford Announces Sharply Higher Revenues for Third Quarter
OTTAWA, Nov. 26, 2012 /CNW/ - Clearford Industries Inc. ("Clearford" or the "Company"), (TSXV:CLI) today announced financial results for quarter ending September 30, 2012 (all figures in Canadian dollars unless otherwise noted).
For the quarter ended September 30, 2012 the Company recorded revenues of $671,019 compared with $7,107 in the same period last year. Net loss for the period was reduced by 47% to $484,561 or $0.01 per share as compared to $926,281 or $0.01 per share for the same period of the prior year. The improved results reflect both revenue generating contracts and savings from cost containment measures undertaken by the Company at the end of the previous fiscal year. The savings were partially offset by interest expense and debt issue costs relating to the long-term loan the company entered into in March 2012.
For the quarter ended September 30, 2012, cash generated in continuing operations was $44,752 compared to cash used in continuing operations of $558,539 for the same period in the prior year. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, cash used in operations was $2,105,891 compared to cash used in operations of $1,927,789 in the same period in the prior year.
As previously announced, during the September 30th quarter end the Company completed a license and financing agreement for the use of its Small Bore Sewer ™ (SBS™) with Lakepoint Village, a Customer in Ontario. It also signed its first contract in India to implement its SBS™ with a subsidiary company of the Hiranandani Group. The contract in Positano, Peru, which the Company announced in March 2012, began delivery and generated revenues during the quarter.
"Signing our first contract in India and signing a Canadian licensing deal, combined with the continued progress on construction of our Peru installation, has made for a very active quarter at Clearford. We are very pleased at the prospect of having reference sites on three continents in the near future and expect this to result in increased interest in the Clearford SBSTM solution" said President Kevin Loiselle.
