BOULDER, Colo., July 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Encision Inc. (OTC Bulletin
Board: ECIA), a medical device company owning patented surgical technology
that is emerging as a standard of care in minimally-invasive surgery, reported
its financial results for its first quarter of fiscal year 2010.
Net sales for the three-months ended June 30, 2009 totaled $3.2 million,
representing a 3% increase over net sales of $3.1 million for the prior fiscal
year's first quarter. The Company recorded net income of $163 thousand or $.03
per share for the first quarter of fiscal year 2010, compared to a net loss of
$164 thousand or ($.03) per share for the first quarter of fiscal year 2009.
Gross profit margin for the first quarter of fiscal year 2010 was 64%, as
compared to 60.3% for the first quarter of fiscal year 2009, a 3.7% increase
resulting from production efficiencies and an increase to inventory which
resulted in a higher absorption of overhead costs to inventory and a decrease
to cost of sales.
"We are pleased with the start to our first quarter of fiscal year 2010,
especially with the turnaround from last year's first quarter net loss. Net
income increased from last year's first quarter net loss as a result of a
slight increase in sales income, increased gross profit margin and reduced
operating expenses," said Jack Serino, President and CEO of Encision Inc.
Encision Inc. designs, develops, manufactures and markets innovative surgical
devices that allow surgeons to optimize technique and patient safety during a
broad range of surgical procedures. Based in Boulder, Colorado, the Company
pioneered the development of patented AEM(R) Laparoscopic Instruments to
improve electrosurgery and reduce the chance for patient injury in minimally
invasive surgery.
