Marketwired
BioSyent Inc. ("BioSyent") (TSX VENTURE: RX) today released a
summary of its 2009 second quarter financial results.
During the second quarter of 2009 sales increased by 11%, from
$236,576 in the second quarter of 2008 to $263,622 in the second
quarter of 2009. Total Sales fell by 29% from $524,573 in the first
half of 2008 to $370,673 in the first half of 2009. The first half
of 2009 was impacted by general recessionary conditions in the
economy, higher than normal customer inventories of Protect-It® and
prolonged cold weather in the prairie region which is a natural
deterrent to stored grain infestation.
Gross Margins decreased from 62.9% in the first half of 2008, to
58.5% in the first half of 2009 primarily due to the selling mix of
lower margin products. Management expects that greater sales of
higher margin products in the second half will see margins improve
to more historic levels.
The net loss for the first half of 2009 was ($232,108) compared
to a net loss of ($167,845) in the first half of 2008.
