WATERLOO, ONTARIO — (Marketwire) — 05/15/12 — TurboSonic Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB: TSTA), a global provider of clean air technologies, today announced the following operating results for its third quarter ended March 31, 2012:
Revenue decreased by 22% to $3.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2012 over the corresponding period ended March 31, 2011. A loss before income taxes of $354,881 was recorded for the quarter compared to a loss before income taxes of $98,327 in the corresponding period ended March 31, 2011. Our backlog of orders at March 31, 2012 was $10.4 million compared with $8.9 million at March 31, 2011.
Our net loss for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2012 resulted in part from the effect of a non-cash deferred income tax adjustment of $750,000 attributable to a reduction in the valuation of our US deferred tax assets. This adjustment, by means of an increase to our valuation allowance, does not reduce the total US tax loss carryforward of $1,972,980 available to offset future taxes.
Our financial statements for this quarter have been prepared on a going concern basis. However, our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on achieving a profitable level of operations, and our ability to secure additional financing; there can be no certainty with respect to the timing or receipt of such financing.
Edward Spink, TurboSonic CEO, commented, “While we have been frustrated by delays in order bookings, we expect a stronger fourth quarter in both orders and revenue recognition. We are actively pursuing additional sources of financing to provide working capital.”
