SXI Synex Renewable Energy Corporation

VANCOUVER, Sept. 20 /CNW/ -- TSX : SXI VANCOUVER, Sept. 20 /CNW/ - Revenue increased to $2,924,901 in fiscal 2010 from $2,688,811 in fiscal 2009. The increase in revenue is primarily a result of increased revenue from the 2.8 MW Cypress Creek Hydro Plant, being its first full year of operation, offset by a decrease in revenue from the Engineering Division and a decrease in revenue from the Ka:'yu:'k't'h'/Che:k:tles7et'h' First Nation (the "KCFN") in respect of the Kyuquot powerline. For fiscal 2010 there was a net loss of $764,967 as compared to a net loss of $102,870 in fiscal 2009. The higher net loss in fiscal 2010 relates mostly to the write off of an account receivable from a client of the Engineering Division, Hawkeye Energy Corporation, in the amount of $477,585. Loss per share in fiscal 2010 was $0.03 per share as compared to $0.00 per share in fiscal 2009. The balance of cash at June 30, 2010 was $1,389,701.
