Gendis Inc. Announces Second Quarter Results


WINNIPEG, MB--(Marketwired - September 05, 2014) - Gendis Inc. (TSX: GDS) today announced its financial results for the 2nd quarter ended July 31, 2014.

Revenue for the 2nd quarter was $1,439,000 compared to $1,639,000 for the 2nd quarter last year. Revenue less expense for the 2nd quarter was $660,000 compared to $627,000 for the 2nd quarter last year. Net income for the 2nd quarter was $4,829,000 ($0.36 per share) compared to a loss of $3,740,000 ($0.27 per share) for the 2nd quarter last year.

Revenue year-to-date was $2,838,000 compared to $3,059,000 year-to-date last year. Revenue less expense year-to-date was $1,303,000 compared to $1,282,000 year-to-date last year. Net income year-to-date was $7,269,000 ($0.54 per share) compared to a loss of $1,895,000 ($0.14 per share) year-to-date last year.

In the 2nd quarter of the year, the Company invested $0.5-million in a convertible debenture of Vive Crop Protection Inc., a private Canadian company that designs, develops and markets active ingredient delivery systems. Subsequent to the 2nd quarter end, the Company invested $0.2-million for 1-million shares in San Angelo Oil Limited, a start-up private Canadian conventional oil exploration and development company that will operate in north central Texas.

The volatility in net income quarter over quarter and year over year is primarily due to the change in fair value of equity investments and investment properties with the attendant effect on deferred income taxes.
