Allied Healthcare Reports Loss
On Depressed Sales
ST. LOUIS, September 28, 2012 –AlliedHealthcare Products, Inc., (NASDAQ: AHPI) reported a loss for the fourth quarter and fiscal year on sales depressed by the lingering effects of recession and uncertainty about future healthcare legislation.
Net loss for the fourth quarter ending June 30 was $156,000, or negative 2 cents per share, compared to net income of almost $115,000, or 1 cent per share, for the previous year. Sales for the quarter fell from about $12.1 million to about $10.7 million, or about 11.6 percent, from the previous year.
For the fiscal year, Allied’s net loss was $424,000, or a negative 5 cents per share, compared to net income of $204,000, or 3 cents per share, for the previous year. Sales for the year declined from about $46.8 million to $43.4 million, or about 7.3 percent.
The one market that registered an increase for Allied was international sales. Boosted by increases mostly from Central and South America, international sales increased about 5.5 percent to about $9.6 million during the fiscal year.
Allied incurred higher than expected costs for new products in 2012. “Capital expenditures of about $1.5 million supported new product development efforts,” said Earl Refsland, Allied Healthcare Products president and chief executive officer. “We should see positive sales results within the next two quarters from investment in our new CO2 absorbent Litholyme® product.”
