On March 13, 2007, Cost-U-Less, Inc. issued a press release announcing its financial results for the fourth fiscal quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2006. In its press release, the Company reported for the fourth fiscal quarter (Q4 2006) net income of $913,000, or $0.21 per fully diluted share outstanding, compared to net income of $1,130,000, or $0.27 per fully diluted share outstanding, for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005 (Q4 2005). For the fiscal year 2006 (FY 2006), net income totaled $2.7 million, or $0.63 per fully diluted share outstanding, compared to net income of $3.0 million, or $0.72 per fully diluted share outstanding, for fiscal year 2005 (FY 2005).
Item 8.01 Other events.
As previously reported, the Company has been granted approval from the Cayman Islands Trade and Business Licensing Board to operate a retail and wholesale business through a controlled subsidiary organized in the Cayman Islands. Also as previously reported, the company has entered into a long-term lease with the developer of Governor’s Square in Grand Cayman to lease land on which to construct and operate a store under the Cost-U-Less name.
Construction on the new store began in late 2006 as anticipated, but permitting delays experienced since that time have extended the completion date beyond the first half of fiscal 2007 to late in the third fiscal quarter or fourth fiscal quarter of 2007.
In connection with the foregoing items, we issued a press release which is attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto.
