Mission Ready Services Inc. Announces Filing of 2016 Q3 Financials, MD&A and Certification of Interim Filings on SEDAR


VANCOUVER, BC--(Marketwired - November 29, 2016) - Mission Ready Services Inc. ("Mission Ready" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE: MRS) announces that its quarterly unaudited financial statements, related Management's Discussion & Analysis ("MD&A") and National Instrument ("NI") 52-109FV2 reports for the period ended September 30, 2016 were filed on SEDAR on November 29, 2016 and can be viewed at http://www.sedar.com.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2016 the Company's gross revenues decreased by $3.4 million to $3.6 million (2015 - $7.1 million), a 49% decrease over the same period in the prior year. This decrease is due to a one-time $4.2 million contract the company performed for the US Marines that was completed in the fall of 2015. The lower gross revenues of the Company's Cleaning and Remediation division was partially offset by increased revenues of the Research Development & Manufacturer Representation divisions and the start of revenues generated by the Manufacturing division. Total expenses included in determining Income (Loss) Before Other Items decreased 28% to $4.8 million from $6.6 million. Income Before Other items decreased by $1.6 million from income in 2015 of $0.48 million to a loss of $1.14 million in 2016. The decrease in revenues and expenses is primarily due to the Company's performance of the previously mentioned one year contract for the US Marines in 2015 partially offset by the initial set up costs of the Company's new manufacturing facility.
