Thermodynetics Reports Annual Results; Turbotec Products Plc Subsidiary Appoints Two Independent Directors
28 June 2006 - 11:10PM
Business Wire
Thermodynetics (OTCBB: TDYT): The year ended March 31, 2006 was
notable in that our Turbotec subsidiary achieved record revenues
and expectations for the 2007 fiscal year is for further growth. At
the same time, the Vulcan Industries subsidiary was closed due to a
number of factors and Vulcan is now reported as a discontinued
operation in the financial statements. On a continuing operations
basis, the Turbotec subsidiary is growing. Turbotec is well
financed having raised equity capital through an IPO on the London
Stock Exchange's AIM Market and is trading under the symbol TRBO.
Turbotec is expecting to demonstrate continued growth in both
revenues and profitability. The expectation for the '07 fiscal year
is that new product launches will begin to capitalize on the
company's technology and apply it to "green" applications and other
sophisticated heat transfer applications using titanium and other
surface enhanced tubing. Initial products are being developed for
the reclamation of waste energy from air conditioning,
refrigeration and heat pump systems so that the reclaimed heat can
be recycled and used for a variety of purposes. Turbotec believes
that this is a major market and with the high cost of energy, it is
an opportune time to market such energy savings products. In fiscal
'06, net revenues advanced 20% to $18.750 million from $15.651
million in fiscal 2005 while, on a continuing business basis,
income from operations advanced to $1.2 million vs. $0.8 million, a
50% increase and pretax income was twice that of the prior year. At
this writing, based on the 12,806,773 shares of TRBO outstanding,
the market value of TRBO is in excess of $20 million, corresponding
to TDYT having a value for the TRBO 56.32% holding alone of $12
million, or approximately $3/share. The calculation is based on an
exchange rate of US$1.84 for each UK pound sterling, and 4.027
million shares of TDYT outstanding. Two independent directors to
represent the British subsidiary have been appointed. Tom Nairn is
the new Chairman and he is joined by Robert Lowe, both of whom were
appointed on June 20, 2006, and both of whom are UK based. That
brings the Board to 5, as Anthony Mirabella, Sunil Raina and Robert
Lieberman are the existing board members. Their resumes are
included in the Turbotec press release that can be viewed on the
web site www.turbotecproducts.com. It is anticipated that by
rounding out the board with Messrs Nairn and Lowe, because of their
familiarity with Turbotec's business base and the business climate
in both the US and Europe, they will help Turbotec to expand both
in the US and in Europe. TRBO's business is expanding in the areas
of swimming pool heat pumps, ice machines and boiler tubing. They
have bolstered their staff with new senior managers in Sales and
Marketing and Product Engineering. Additions to staffing are
continuing with the intent of supporting the growth of the company
and to concentrate on continuing improvement in operations,
engineering and customer support. -0- *T Year ended March 31, 2006
