LITTLE ROCK, AR -- (MARKET WIRE) -- April 2, 2007 -- DAC Technologies (
OTCBB:
DAAT) today
announced financial results for the year ended December 31, 2006. The
Company reported net income of $752,838 and pretax income of $1,224,968.
On a fully diluted basis, the Company earned 12 cents per share. The
Company had operating income of $1,530,333, or 10% of sales revenues of
$15,475,880.
David A. Collins, Chairman and CEO, stated, "These results were affected by
large increases in commodity prices and a decrease in the value of the US
dollar versus the Chinese RMB of 4%. This resulted in an increase in cost
of goods and a decrease in gross profit margins of 6%."
Collins also stated, "Although the Company has been operating fairly lean,
with only six employees in its corporate headquarters and five regular
employees in its shipping department, there are areas we feel we can better
control expenses. We will be looking at all areas of our operations where
expenses can be controlled and establishing strict budgets in all areas.
Not all operating expenses have increased in proportion to sales. Sales
commissions only increased $56,708, or only 2.7% of the increase in sales
of $2,124,765. I have also decided to reduce my salary by 50%, to $60,000
annually, until the Company achieves a higher level of profitability. The
Company is also reviewing all product categories and will be increasing
wholesale prices where it can, effective July 1, 2007, to offset the
increase in cost of goods."
Collins further stated, "The Company will be focusing on increasing revenue
and controlling expenses. DAC has entered the camping business and hunting
accessory business with the shipping to Wal-Mart of its new camping table
and Turkey hunting seat. Also, we will be shipping to Kmart five new items
in the April/May timeframe. We are in the process of manufacturing a new
fish fillet knife set. We are investigating all areas of new business,
including sporting goods and areas outside of sporting goods, where we can
use our extensive knowledge of overseas manufacturing. The Company is
investigating getting into the clay pigeon target business, baseball
pitching machines and putting together new kits for the household cleaning
market. These are areas that we have been asked by our largest customers
to investigate, or feel we can be extremely competitive in."
Collins also stated, "The Company's financial condition remains very
strong. Retained earnings increased 38% and total stockholders' equity
increased 17%. The company also reported total assets of $6,417,575 versus
$5,499,502 for 2005. Total stockholders equity rose to $4,478,801 versus
$3,825,896 in 2005."
