Omni-Lite Industries reports audited 2011 results

CERRITOS, CA, April 19, 2012 /PRNewswire/ - For the year ended December 31, 2011, Omni-Lite Industries Canada Inc. is pleased to announce that revenue was $6,514,083 US ($6,642,150 CAD). In the 2011 fiscal period, cash flow from operations was $1,930,431 US ($1,968,460 CAD). Comprehensive income was to $2,004,124 ($2,043,605 CAD), a 10% increase over 2010. Earnings per share were $0.15 US per share based on a weighted average number of shares outstanding of 12,918,561 which was increased by 25% after the private placement in February 2011. In 2011, gross margins were 61.6 percent, a decrease from 69.2 percent in fiscal 2010. The decrease in gross margin was largely attributed to a large increase in sales in the sports and recreational division, a category where gross margins are typically lower than the other divisions.

"The financing completed in 2011 has allowed the Company to aggressively pursue the development of the unique technologies required to complete the most important programs currently underway at Omni-Lite. Of particular significance, the Company has recently purchased a progressive forging system to undertake a large new military project announced in March of 2012. This system is expected to be delivered to the Cerritos facility in late July of this year. This highly modified system is an extension of the technology developed for the U.S. military over the last 5 years. Omni-Lite has an exclusive worldwide license for this technology and is currently processing a U.S. patent application for these concepts," stated David F. Grant, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "On the development and new program side, our project pipeline is full for the next 12 to 18 months."
