Conforce International, Inc. (“Conforce” or “Company”) (OTCBB:
CFRI), developers of EKO-FLOR™, a composite flooring system for the
transportation industry, announced today financial results for its
first quarter ended June 30, 2011.
Marino Kulas, CEO of Conforce, observed that, “The first quarter
was highlighted by the transfer of technology from our development
centre in Concord, Ontario to our new manufacturing facility in
Peru, Indiana. The financial results during the quarter reflect the
various costs associated with the establishment of a new facility
which included hiring and training of production supervisors and
staff. A significant portion of the revenue relating to the recent
initial order will be recognized in our second quarter.”
First Quarter 2011 Financial
Review
- General and administrative expenses for
the three months ended June 30, 2011 were $461,218, and includes
salaries and wages, professional fees and consultants, office
supplies, travel and utilities, compared to $202,008 for the first
quarter in 2010. The increase is attributable to the additional
expense incurred in the establishment of the Peru facility which
included marketing expenditures.
- The Company reported net losses for the
first quarter of $661,547, or $0.00 per diluted share based on
160.1 million weighted average diluted shares.
- Amortization of property, plant and
equipment for the period ended June 30, 2011 was $38,708 compared
to $22,915 for the same period in the previous year. The increase
is due to the purchase of additional equipment for the facility. It
is expected that the depreciation expenses will also increase
significantly in the upcoming quarters as the equipment is used and
consequently depreciates.
Cash Flow and Balance Sheet
Highlights
- The Company has approximately $5.1
million of available cash for the purposes of ramping up production
in the Peru facility and the ongoing business development cost
associated with its commercialization strategy. The Company’s net
cash outflow from operations for the three month period ended June
30, 2011 was $716,992. The Company considers itself to have
sufficient funding to continue operations beyond the next 12
months.
- As of June 30, 2011, the Company had
cash and cash equivalents of $5.1 million; working capital of $5.4
million; long term debt of $2.4 million; and shareholder’s equity
of $6.0 million.
- The Company received $500,000 in
incentive financing for the quarter for the selection of Peru,
Indiana as the location of its new manufacturing facility. This
incentive payment is in the form of a forgivable loan.
Outlook for Fiscal 2012
In commenting on the Company’s outlook going forward, Mr. Kulas
concluded that, “We believe that the Company is on the cusp of
redefining advanced flooring systems throughout the shipping
container and truck/trailer industries. Our ultimate goal on both
fronts is nothing less than complete standardization.”
