American Mold Guard Reports Fourth Quarter 2006 Results
SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO, Calif., Jan. 31, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) (PRIMEZONE) -- American Mold Guard, Inc. (Nasdaq:AMGI), an industry leader in the field of anti-microbial surface treatment services, today announced financial results for its fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2006.


Fourth Quarter and Full Year Results

The Company reported fourth quarter 2006 net sales of $1.83 million, an increase of 8 percent from $1.69 million for the fourth quarter of 2005. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2006 the Company reported net sales of $9.43 million, an increase of 62 percent from the same period in 2005. Net sales increased primarily due to higher demand for the Company's services, expansion into new regions and price increases enacted in the beginning of the year. Gross margin for the fourth quarter of 2006 was $819,756, or 44.8 percent, as compared to $212,254 or a 12.6 percent gross margin for the fourth quarter of 2005. For the full year 2006, gross margin was 43.1 percent as compared to 18.4 percent for 2005. The gross margin increase was realized through improved crew productivity, less material usage, reduced material cost, reduced equipment rental costs as well as price increases the Company implemented in the beginning of the year.

The Company reported a net loss for the fourth quarter of 2006 of $1.52 million, or $.33 per share, compared to a net loss of $2.66 million, or $2.82 per share, for the fourth quarter of 2005. For the full year 2006, the net loss was $7.57 million, or $2.43 per share, compared to a net loss of $5.93 million, or $6.53 per share for 2005. The fourth quarter 2006 net loss decrease from the prior year was primarily due to improved gross margins and the elimination of interest expense through debt reduction after the Company's initial public offering in May of 2006. The per share net loss information reflects the effect of the one-for-.340124209 reverse stock split, effective April 7, 2006.

"Despite the housing market contraction during 2006, the Company recorded strong year-to-date sales growth of 62% as compared to the same period a year ago. Our productivity improvements continued to demonstrate results as gross margin expanded to record levels" said Tom Blakeley, Chief Executive Officer. "The Company used this period to increase its sales presence in high growth construction markets while also expanding its sales focus on multi-family projects. We also announced that we have secured our first AMG Scientific interior surface treatment orders in surgery, physical therapy and med-spa centers in California, New Jersey and Maryland. The combination of our sales force expansion in the Carolinas and in national multi-family construction, as well as our entrance into interior surface treatment in the fight against infectious disease transmission, position the Company for continued growth in 2007," concluded Mr. Blakeley.
