Argan, Inc. (OTCBB:AGAX) today announced financial results for the first quarter ended April 30, 2007.

Net sales for the quarter were $50.4 million compared to $8.96 million for the three months ended April 30, 2006. Gemma Power Systems, acquired in December 2006, contributed $43.4 million in revenues for the quarter. Revenue for the quarter at Southern Maryland Cable (SMC) declined to $2.1 million from $3.1 million in the same quarter last year and revenue at Vitarich Laboratories, Inc. (VLI) decreased to $4.9 million from $5.8 million. Net loss for the quarter was $2.0 million, or $0.18 per share based on 11,094,000 shares outstanding, compared to a net loss of $18,000, or $0.00 per share based on 3,814,000 shares outstanding in the first three months of last year.

The Company believes that the Non-GAAP Measurement of Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) provides investors with a valuable supplemental measure of our operating performance. EBITDA for the first quarter ended April 30, 2007 was a loss of $362,000 compared to EBITDA of $857,000 in the first quarter of last year.

Cash and cash equivalents at April 30, 2007 increased to $32.6 million from $25.4 million at January 31, 2007.

Rainer Bosselmann, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “During the quarter, we experienced an unexpected increase in costs related to one of our Gemma contracts. These higher costs, primarily stemming from labor rate increases due to overtime requirements and additional material costs, have resulted in a forecasted loss for the project of approximately $4.1 million during the quarter ended April 30, 2007. The project was 95% complete as of April 30, 2007 and the cumulative $3.9 million loss was recognized as of April 30, 2007 and incorporates our estimates of project costs through completion.”

Mr. Bosselmann continued, “Demand at Gemma is very strong and our backlog at April 30 was over $200 million, bolstered by a $74 million contract which we received in April for a biodiesel plant in Texas. We are very well positioned to drive significant revenue growth this year and improving profitability as we benefit from the long term increase in new power plants driven by the economic viability of renewable energy, government mandates and environmental benefits.”

Mr. Bosselmann indicated that “SMC experienced a slow start for the year in its inside plant division. We have made some changes to broaden our product offerings and to diversify our customer base. VLI, in addition to its sales decline, experienced operating margin pressure. We are addressing both issues aggressively and are confident that we can achieve positive results.”
