HORSHAM, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--August 15, 2011--Mace Security International, Inc. ("Mace" or the “Company”) (OTCQB: MACE) today announced financial results for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2011.
Current Highlights
- Mace completed its Rights Offering on August 1, 2011, raising net proceeds of approximately $4.3 million from the sale of 22,372,616 shares of the Company’s common stock to its existing stockholders.
- Mace concluded the sale of 20 million shares of the Company’s common stock on August 2, 2011 to Merlin Partners, LP (“Merlin”) and two other investors under the previously disclosed Securities Purchase Agreement with Merlin, raising additional net proceeds of $3.75 million.
- Mace announced the appointment of Richard A. Barone as the Company’s Chairman of the Board and the election of two new directors, Denis J. Amato and Larry Pollock, who replaced outgoing directors John C. Mallon and Gerald T. LaFlamme. Dennis R. Raefield and Michael E. Smith were also re-elected to the Board of Directors, along with Mr. Barone.
- Mace resolved the environmental charges regarding EPA violations brought against its Vermont subsidiary under the previously disclosed plea agreement which was accepted by the court on May 26, 2011.
- Mace entered into an initiative with B&H Photo and Electronics Corp., which provides New York City residents and business owners with discounts on Mace security camera surveillance systems. The purpose of this initiative is to raise awareness about the positive impact of security surveillance on personal safety and to increase awareness of the Mace brand.
Dennis Raefield, CEO and President of Mace, stated, “The second quarter of 2011 and the period that followed was very positive for our Company. We successfully completed the Rights Offering to our existing stockholders and the Securities Purchase Agreement with Merlin, which provided critical funding to enable us to reduce our debt, fund marketing initiatives, and implement growth strategies in our current operations through possible acquisitions. We are also excited about the appointment of Richard A. Barone as our Chairman of the Board and the addition of Messrs. Amato and Pollock to our Board. Mr. Amato has an extensive finance background and Mr. Pollock brings extensive business, marketing, and consumer retail experience. We also completed the integration of The Command Center, Inc. (“TCCI”), our new wholesale security monitoring station. Now that this recent acquisition is fully integrated, we can expect increased profitability in our wholesale monitoring operation.”
Mr. Raefield added, “With the success of our recent capital funding and the addition of new members to our Board of Directors, we can focus on additional cost reduction programs and on strategies to increase our revenues through accretive acquisitions and increased marketing efforts, truly leveraging our great Mace brand.”
Financial Results, Second Quarter of 2011 Compared to Second Quarter of 2010
Total revenues for the second quarter ended June 30, 2011 were $3.5 million, as compared to $4.4 million for the same period in 2010. Despite an increase in revenues in our wholesale monitoring division of approximately $225,000, or 28%, as a result of the March 2011 acquisition of TCCI, overall revenues declined as a result of a reduction in sales volume in our high-end digital and machine vision camera operation of $708,000. Our professional and consumer direct electronic surveillance operations also experienced a reduction in sales of $440,000 due to several factors, including increased competition and a continued reduction in spending, due in part to low commercial and residential construction and remodeling levels. Our personal defense operation in Vermont experienced a slight increase in sales, largely due to increased aerosol defense spray sales.
Loss from continuing operations for the second quarter of 2011 was approximately $(1.0) million, or $(0.07) per share, compared to a loss from continuing operations of $(1.4) million, or $(0.09) per share, in the second quarter of 2010. The decrease in operating loss from continuing operations, despite the reduction in revenues, was primarily due to a decrease in selling, general, and administration expenses of $201,000, or 9%, as the Company realized savings from the continuation of the Company-wide cost reduction programs, and asset impairment charges of $225,000 related to the Company’s electronic surveillance products division which were recorded in June 2010.
Discontinued operations include all of the Company’s car wash and digital media marketing operations. The results for these operations are shown as discontinued operations for financial reporting purposes. These operations generated income of approximately $26,000, or $0.00 per share, for the three months ended June 30, 2011, and a loss of $(3.5) million, or $(0.22) per share, in the same period of 2010, primarily as a result of asset impairment charges of $3.4 million recorded within the digital media marketing operation in June 2010.
Net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2011 was approximately $(1.0) million, or $(0.07) per share, compared to a net loss of approximately $(4.9) million, or $(0.31) per share, for the three months ended June 30, 2010.
Financial Results, Six Months Ended June 30, 2011 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2010
Total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2011 were $7.1 million, as compared to $8.6 million for the same period in 2010. Despite an increase in revenues in our wholesale monitoring division of approximately $254,000, or 16%, as a result of the March 2011 acquisition of TCCI, overall revenues declined by $1.5 million, or 18%, largely as a result of a reduction in sales volume in our high-end digital and machine vision camera operation of $1.1 million. Our professional and consumer direct electronic surveillance operations also experienced a reduction in sales of $622,000 due to several factors, including increased competition and a continued reduction in spending due in part to low commercial and residential construction and remodeling levels. Our personal defense operation in Vermont also experienced a decrease in sales of approximately $79,000.
Loss from continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was approximately $(2.2) million, or $(0.14) per share, compared to a loss from continuing operations of $(7.7) million, or $(0.48) per share, in the same period of 2010. The decrease in operating loss from continuing operations, despite the reduction in revenues, was primarily due to the arbitration award to our former CEO of $4.5 million recorded in 2010, a decrease in selling, general, and administration expenses of $833,000, or 16%, as the Company realized savings from the continuation of the Company-wide cost reduction programs, and asset impairment charges of $225,000 related to the Company’s electronic security products division which were recorded in June 2010.
Discontinued operations, as defined above, generated a loss of approximately $(34,000), or $(0.00) per share, for the six months ended June 30, 2011, and a loss of $(4.0) million, or $(0.26) per share, in the same period of 2010 primarily as a result of impairment charges of $3.4 million recorded within the digital media marketing operation in June 2010.
Net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was approximately $(2.3) million, or $(0.14) per share, compared to a net loss of approximately $(11.7) million, or $(0.74) per share, for the six months ended June 30, 2010.
The Company’s net book value was $11.7 million, or $0.74 per share, at June 30, 2011. In addition, Mace had $20.8 million in total assets, including $1.8 million of cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2011.
