Alloy Steel International Reports 2010 Fiscal Year-End Results
PERTH, Australia, Jan. 28, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Alloy Steel International, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: AYSI) ("Alloy Steel" or "Company") a wear plate manufacturer based in Malaga, Perth, Western Australia, today reported audited results for fourth quarter and year ended September 30, 2010.
Financial Results
During the quarter ended September 30, 2010, total quarterly sales increased to $8.8 million as compared to $4.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2009. These sales consist solely of the Company's Arcoplate products. Income before tax for the fourth quarter of 2010 was $2.7 million or $0.16 per common share, compared with income before tax of $0.5 million or $0.03 per common share for the same period in 2009.
For the year ended September 30, 2010, total sales increased to $24.5 million as compared to $8.8 million for the same period in 2009. Net income after tax for 2010 was $4.9 million or $0.28 per common share, compared with a net loss after tax of ($0.07) million or ($0.004) per common share for the same period in 2009.
Results of Operations
For the year ended September 30, 2010, sales have improved by 178 percent compared to sales for the year ended September 30, 2009. This occurred due to an increase in demand for ArcoPlate facilitated by increased production. It was previously announced in the fourth quarter 2009 that the second mill had commenced production, although problems were encountered. During the commissioning process, it became evident that further enhancements were required to make the mill more efficient. The increased productive capacity of the Company is reflected in the quarterly production and sales for the fourth quarter 2010 and beyond.
The Company has a unique product being manufactured by newly developed technology, invented by the current Chairman and CEO, Mr. Gene Kostecki and the team at Alloy Steel.
Mr. Kostecki stated, "The Company is very pleased with this significant result that has come at an important time in its development. The Company has posted record quarterly and annual sales and a record net income after tax and is poised to continue growth. We are further encouraged with the continued response by our customers to our range of wear plate products and our order book remains strong."

EXCHANGE RATE MOVEMENTS
It is noted that predominantly all operations of Alloy Steel International are conducted by the Australian subsidiary, and therefore, the majority of the amounts reported are initially recorded in Australian dollars by the subsidiary. The value of the Australian dollar compared to the US dollar has been volatile over the reporting period, and therefore the exchange rate movement continues to have a reasonable impact upon the value reported by the Company.
