Gross margins have been maintained and, combined with management efforts; a solid financial position has resulted. EBITDA remains strong at $765,742, with a working capital ratio of 3.15. Management is also hopeful that the registration of a new product could result in $250,000 of additional supply agreement fees in fiscal 2019 or 2020.
“We have made significant investments into production again this year,” said company President and CEO George Usher. “Another $375,000.00 dedicated to upgraded equipment has simultaneously resulted in increased production capability and reduced utilities costs. We are also in the fortunate position of beginning this fiscal year with $1.2 million in cash and investments on hand, and accounts receivable of a further $1.5 million. This will allow us to continue to prudently invest in more efficient equipment that will lead to either further savings or increased control the rising cost of utilities.”
