RICHMOND, BC - Mr. James L. Swanson, Chairman of CON-SPACE COMMUNICATIONS LTD., (CDNX: CCB) announced today the company's Second Quarter results, ended December 31, 2000.
"Sales for the Second Quarter of fiscal 2000 were $696,347 up 16.3% over this Fiscal year's First Quarter Sales," said Swanson. "The year-to-date Sales for the First Half of Fiscal 2001 ended at $1,295,272 up 6.3% over the $1,219,028 for the same period a year earlier." Gross Profit for the First Half ended at $641,600 or 49.5% of sales compared to a Gross Profit of 49.1% last Fiscal year. This increase was a result of improved inventory control and manufacturing procedures resulting from the implementation of the ISO-9001 quality control system. The company was awarded its full ISO-9001:1994 certification during the Second Quarter.
The Company's Operating Expenses during the first six months of Fiscal 2001 decreased 5.3% to $648,292 from $684,230 during the first six months of Fiscal 2000. The controlling of expense which reduced Operational Expenses resulted in an Operational Profit for the First Half of $10,687 for this Fiscal year compared to an Operational Loss of $86,520 for the first half of Fiscal 2000. This gives an Operational Earnings per Share of $0.00 compared to an Operational Loss per Share of $0.01 in the previous year. "We have monitored our expenses very closely," said Swanson, "and intend to continue doing so during our third and fourth quarters."
After depreciation and amortization, a net loss $110,008 or $0.01 per share is reported for the half. This compares to a first half loss one year ago of $207,701 or $0.03 per share. "We will be continuing to put every effort in to increasing our rate of our Sales growth during the Second Half of Fiscal 2001," concluded Swanson.
