Management Discussion and Analysis for detailed notes and
definitions
|
"Based on International Reporting Standards ("IFRS"), the
Company has taken a non-recurring provision of $184,876 US to write-down the inventory value of
two legacy military components, for which meaningful sales have not
occurred in the last 36 months. Management feels that these
products have a high value and will be sold as US military budgets
increase. Gross margin, excluding the non-recurring
write-down provision for inventory, increased to 57 percent from 55
percent in 2015," stated David
Grant. "As a company with significant fixed assets,
tax considerations can have a significant effect on income.
In 2015, deferred tax expense (a non-cash item) increased to
$174,937 US from a credit of
$297,493 US in 2014, as a result of a
reduction of tax losses carried forward to future years.
Deferred income tax expense reflects, in part, the effect of
temporary tax-to-book differences in the depreciation in the
carrying value of the Company's large base of capital equipment.
These potential swings in the income statement lead most
investors to evaluate a company like Omni-Lite on an EBITDA and
Adjusted EBITDA basis."
The Company is also pleased to note that it has received new
contracts in the amount of $433,000
US. Of these orders, approximately 30% are in the Aerospace
division, 32% are in the Specialty Automotive division, and 38% are
in the Sports and Recreational division. This brings the
total value of new orders announced in the last three months to
over $4,200,849 US. Of these
40% are in the Aerospace division, 30% are in the Military
division, 24% are in the Specialty Automotive division and 6% are
in the Sports and Recreational division. At the US to CAD
currency exchange rate of April 29,
2016, these orders are valued at approximately $5,293,000 CAD.
