Isonics Reports Record Fiscal Year 2000 Earnings of $2.7 Million GOLDEN, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 14, 2000--Isonics Corporation (NASDAQ: ISON - news) today reported net income for the fiscal year ending April 30, 2000, of $2.7 million, including a gain of $5.3 million from the sale of the Company's depleted zinc business.
Isonics co-founder, President & CEO James E. Alexander commented, ``We are extremely pleased with the results from the fiscal year just ended. We hope to build on our success in the coming year. Our balance sheet remains strong, and we are very pleased with the progress we have made toward commercializing our isotopically-engineered semiconductor materials, especially silicon-28.''
Net income for fiscal year 2000 was $2.7 million, or $0.40 per basic share and $0.26 per diluted share, as compared to a net loss of $2.5 million, or $0.41 per basic and diluted share for the prior fiscal year. The increase in net income was primarily the result of the sale of the Company's depleted zinc business to Eagle-Picher Technologies, LLC, which resulted in a gain of approximately $5.3 million. An additional gain of $1.3 million will be recognized over the next three fiscal years to the extent that certain contingencies are removed.
Fiscal year 2000 revenues were $12.7 million, as compared to $17.0 million, for the prior fiscal year, which was the largest annual revenue in the Company's history. The fiscal year 2000 revenues were in line with past trends considering that only a portion of the year included significant depleted zinc revenue.
