CAESAREA, Israel, April 30, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
Elbit Vision Systems Ltd. (OTCBB: EVSNF.OB), a global provider of vision technology for automatic surface inspection and in-line quality monitoring systems, today announced its consolidated financial results for the twelve month period ending December 31, 2011.
2011 yearly Results:
Revenues for the year 2011 were approximately $5.6 million, representing an increase of 43.6% compared to $3.9 million in 2010.
Gross profit on a GAAP basis was approximately $3.6 million, representing 64.3% of revenues, compared to $1.9 million for 2010. Gross margins increased mainly due to the increase in revenues and the reorganization of the Company which occurred in June 2010, and which took full effect in 2011.
Operating profit on a GAAP basis was approximately $1.1 million compared with an operating loss of approximately $200 thousand in 2010.
Net profit on a GAAP basis for 2011 was approximately $1.1 million, compared to approximately $2.6 million in 2010, which result in 2010, was due to the disposal of a discontinued operation.
Sam Cohen, CEO of EVS commented, "Achieving such substantial profits is an extremely positive sign, especially given our significant investments in R&D and marketing in 2011. Our firm belief in the company's core competencies paid big dividends in 2011 with sales of more than $5.6M."
Mr. Cohen continued, "We have recently launched the two most innovative products in our company's history, with more planned in the coming year. Our R&D efforts are producing products today that were thought to be impossible by most in the industry. Along with these technological achievements, 2011 also brought the first of what we believe will be several MOU agreements with major manufacturers of knitting, weaving, and nonwoven products.
"However, arguably our cornerstone achievement for this past year was the removal of the going concern paragraph from our financial reports. This achievement was a high priority for EVS, and it validates our current strength and future outlook", concluded Mr. Cohen.
