IWI HOLDING LIMITED ANNOUNCES
SECOND QUARTER RESULTS
WESTMONT, ILLINOIS - September 17, 2006 -- IWI Holding Limited (OTCBB - JEWLF), a U.S. based designer, merchandiser, and wholesale distributor of fine jewelry, today reported its results of operations for the second quarter ended June 30, 2007.
For the second quarter of 2007 IWI reported a net loss of $488,000 or $0.19 per share on net sales of $6,122,000 compared to a net loss of $260,000 or $0.10 per share on net sales of $6,760,000 for the comparable period in 2006.
For the six months ended June 30, 2007, the Company reported a net loss of $668,000, or $0.26 per share on net sales of $13,425,000 compared to a net loss of $498,000 or $0.19 per share on net sales of $12,044,000 for the comparable period in 2006.
Sales for the six-month period ended June 30, 2007 increased $1,381,000 or 11.5% to $13,425,000 for the same period a year ago. Included in the reported sales were liquidation sales of $1,305,000 in 2007 vs. $793,000 for the same period in 2006, an increase of $512,000. Sales excluding liquidation sales increased $869,000 or 7.7%. Liquidation sales continue to be a strategic part of the Companies process to control and regulate its inventory. Most of the products sold under the liquidation process represent customer returns and in some cases overstock. Gross profit decreased $120,000 or 4.7% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2007 reflecting a decrease in gross margin of 3.1% compared to the prior year. Excluding the impact of liquidation sales gross margin decreased 1.4%. The rate of returned merchandise increased slightly with that experienced in 2006 to 9.4%.
Selling, General and Administrative expenses decreased $51,000 or 1.8% for the six-month period and increased $17,000 or 1.1% in the second quarter. Interest expense increased $101,000 or 37.5% to $374,000 for the six months ending June 30, 2007, for the second quarter interest costs increased $46,000 or 32.7% to $189,000. The increase in interest expense primarily reflects increased interest rates under the forbearance agreement instituted by the current lender whereby the interest charged by the lender increased 3.75% to prime plus 4%.
This release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Company’s actual results could differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements as a result of among other factors, the risk factors set forth above, and in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, changes in general economic conditions and changes in the assumptions used in making such forward-looking statements.
