With the delivery and completion of most the installation of two major brine plants completed by the third quarter of 2013, FSI focused on contract negotiation for a major brine plant. As a result, no revenue was generated from the foreign segment during this period of pre-contract activity and revenue from the quarter of $364,349 was derived solely from the domestic segment, which was up 98% over the same quarter last year.
The limited revenue generating activity resulted in an operating loss of $557,582 for the quarter or 15% lower than the same quarter last year on the higher domestic revenue. Despite this, the comprehensive loss for the quarter was $429,521 compared to comprehensive income of $45,821 the same quarter last year which resulted from the Company recording a deferred tax recovery of $700,000 on tax assets previously unrecognized.
Although the low activity generated a loss for the quarter, revenue for the year of $12,146,549 mostly from two major brine plants drove operating profit and comprehensive income for the year to $1,031,232 and $771,819, respectively, up from last year's operating loss and comprehensive loss of $1,365,448 and $733,143, respectively.
The Company's liquidity remains firm as:
Current assets of $1.3 million, is more than sufficient to service the Company's short term monetary liabilities of $0.9 million (excluding loan from bank which is payable only upon demand).
The Company is in compliance with its financial covenants and has $0.6 million of unused loan facilities to fund future operations
Although cash used in operations was $5.3 million for year, this primarily reflects that most of the revenue recognized on the brine plants in 2013 was collected the prior year through customer deposits. In addition, it also reflects significant payments to trade payable vendors in respect of brine construction activity the last quarter of 2013.
