ENERLUME ENERGY MANAGEMENT CORP. INCREASES QUARTERLY REVENUE IN
SECOND FISCAL QUARTER 2008:
REPORTS IMPROVED MARGINS AND LOSS FROM OPERATIONS
Hamden CT, February 14, 2008 – EnerLume Energy Management Corp. (ENLU.OB, http://www.enerlume.com) reported an increase in revenue for the second fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2007, compared to the second fiscal quarter in the prior year, and reported reductions in cost of revenues that improved overall gross margin results. An improvement in the loss from operations of approximately 26% as compared to the second fiscal quarter in the prior year reflects a positive trend of fundamental gross margin growth within the energy services segment. The company noted that this fiscal quarter was negatively impacted by non-cash interest charges associated with the conversion of the company’s secured and unsecured promissory notes into equity. Additionally, the company recorded non-cash charges associated with debt discount and beneficial conversion charges primarily attributable to its term loan that was paid off with the proceeds from the sale of the food service business. The company recorded a gain on the sale of the food service business of $716,339 which helped to offset the above non-cash charges.
“The results for the quarter show that we are making continued progress in our efforts to become single-focused with the sale of the food service business and with our ability to improve our working capital by converting approximately $1.4 million of current debt into equity,” said David Murphy, president and chief executive officer of EnerLume Energy Management Corp. “We have also announced that the court granted final approval of the federal class action and federal derivative settlements, which will allow us to more clearly focus on developing our core energy conservation business.” Mr. Murphy went on to note that collectively stripping out the large non-cash charges, the loss from continuing operations has improved dramatically.
For the quarter ended December 31, 2007, EnerLume Energy Management Corp. reported a net loss of $1,946,429 or $0.17 per share on revenues from continuing operations of $2,222,727. This compares to a net loss of $1,615,372 or $0.18 per share on revenues from continuing operations of $1,636,158 for the quarter ended December 31, 2006. The company had 11,795,101 weighted average common shares outstanding in the current year compared to 8,861,597 shares in the second fiscal quarter of the prior year. The net loss and per share amounts include the food service operations and the sale of the division classified as discontinued operations.
