SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 21, 1997--
Revenue, Operating Income Jump; Per Share Loss Narrows Sharply
Alanco Environmental Resources Corp. (NASDAQ:ALAN) Tuesday reported sharply higher revenue for the first quarter ended Sept. 30, 1997, as well as a major positive shift in operating income for the quarter. Sales for the quarter of $2,606,357, a record for the company, compared to $1,503,857 for the same quarter a year earlier. Alanco reported another company first, with positive income from operations of $13,466 for the quarter. That compares with a loss from operations of $341,157 for the quarter a year earlier. Net loss from continuing operations for the quarter of $51,083, or $0.001 per share, compares to a loss of $350,569, or $0.01 for the period a year ago. Edward J. Maley, president and chief executive officer of Alanco, said, "I would particularly like to call our shareholders attention to net cash provided by our operations. We have gone from a negative cash flow of $395,000 for the quarter a year ago, to a positive cash flow of $254,000 this quarter. This is an impressive positive swing of $649,000 for the first quarter." "The first quarter is indicative of the direction Alanco is headed this new fiscal year," said Maley. "Although the results represent a dramatic improvement, we want our shareholders to know we have only begun. We have a great deal of work and opportunity ahead in the food services and environmental divisions." Maley attributed most of the revenue growth to the company's Fry Guy food services segment. "Fry Guy accounted for 76 percent of our revenue growth. We see room for substantial continued growth in Fry Guy in the months immediately ahead, as well as in our environmental segment," said Maley. "While our loss per share has been cut dramatically, the important point is the speed at which we are closing in on profitability." In September, Alanco announced it had established a working capital line of credit to supplement the improving cash flow. *T Alanco Environmental Resources Corp. Consolidated Statement of Operations
