HOUSTON, March 5, 2012 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- HII Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB: HIIT), a development-stage energy services company located in Houston, Texas announced its 2011 year end unaudited financial results.
For the year 2011, HII's balance sheet showed significant improvement from resulting from the sale of our operating subsidiary's assets in May 2011 for approximately $7.625 million. As a result, the Company's 2010 financial statements have been stated as discontinued operations for the operations of subsidiary.
The proceeds of this asset sale were used to pay off debt, taxes, organize a new operating focus in energy services and the professional fees associated with bringing the Company's SEC filings to a fully reporting status. The Company retained approximately $300,000 in cash after payment of indebtedness and professional fees.
The Company booked a profit of approximately $8,154,000 or $.23 (twenty-three cents) per diluted share for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2011, as compared to, a loss of $3,173,000, or (.11) per diluted share, for the fiscal year end 2010. The gain during the year ended December 31, 2011 was attributable to the sale of substantially all the assets of our valve product line and associated intellectual property in May 2011. The total liabilities decreased by about $9,791,000, from approximately $9,852,000 for the fiscal year end of 2010, to approximately $61,000 for the fiscal year end 2011.
