Results
M Line Holdings, Inc. (OTCBB: MLHC) ("M Line Holdings" or "the Company"), is pleased to announce its results for the 3 and 9 months ended March 31, 2012.
Information
The Company had an operating profit of $351,405 before a one-time research and development charge of $803,618 resulting in a pre-tax loss of $452,213 for the nine month period. EBITDA is negative $105,124, however, when the one-time charge is added back EBITDA would have been $698,494.
The research and development expenditure during the third quarter and also in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012 represents one time costs incurred for training in the use of Catia and Quantum software and training in the methodology used to manufacture materials such as titanium, inconels (a family of Nickel-chromium based super alloys) and hardened steels. Management had made the decision to remake its wholly owned subsidiary Eran Engineering, Inc. ("Eran") into an Aerospace company and as a part of that transition specialized training was required so that the staff would have the knowledge to make critical aircraft structure parts. This is very different work than the interiors work that Eran has always specialized in. Eran incurred considerable start-up costs relating to training, downtime in manufacturing and other related costs including materials used for testing and training.
In addition management entered into agreements with two engineering service companies, EXMD in Canada and Fairtech in India. These companies have helped Eran upgrade its capabilities.
Management's commitment to excellence and its new direction has resulted in new business from significant customers which we firmly believe will result in considerable and profitable growth for the company.
George Colin, CEO of M Line Holdings, Inc., stated, "As disclosed recently in our news letter to shareholders, Management felt that this was the appropriate time to make our switch to a high tech aerospace company. The training has been completed and with new equipment expected in June we are primed for growth and profitability."
