(All amounts are in CAD dollars.)
"We are showing a positive EBITDA in the first quarter of fiscal 2012, this represents a net improvement over the previous year", said Bob Henry, Immunotec's Chairman and CEO. "We are pleased to have opened our new corporate offices in Mexico City and completed the amended agreement relating to the acquisition in Mexico".
Condensed financial results for the Quarter ended January 31, 2012 are as follows:
Total comprehensive loss was $109 thousand compared to $1.3 million for the same period of the prior year reflecting the impact of the foreign currency translation of foreign subsidiaries. The total basic and fully diluted earnings per share for the three-month period ended January 31, 2012 was $0.00 compared with fully a diluted loss per share of $0.02 for the same period in 2011.
This variation for the 2012 period resulted primarily from:
New NCIB Program
Subsequent to the end of the Quarter on April 30 The Company also announced today that it has received approval from the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange") to make a Normal Course Issuer Bid (the "Bid") to purchase for cancellation, from time to time, as it considers advisable, up to 1,000,000 of its issued and outstanding Common Shares (being approximately 1.43% of the 70,026,313 Common Shares outstanding at April 18, 2012). Purchases will be made on the open market through the facilities of the Exchange. National Bank Financial will conduct the Bid on behalf of Immunotec. The price which Immunotec will pay for any shares purchased will be the prevailing market price of such shares on the Exchange at the time of such purchase.
The Bid will commence on May 4, 2012 and will terminate on April 30, 2013, or such earlier time as the applicable Bid is completed or at the option of Immunotec. Any shares acquired by Immunotec pursuant to the bid will be cancelled.
The Board of Directors of Immunotec believe that the current and recent market prices of Immunotec's shares do not give full effect to their underlying value and that, accordingly, the purchase of shares will increase the proportionate share interest of, and be potentially advantageous to, all remaining shareholders. The normal course purchases will also provide easier access to liquidity to Immunotec shareholders who would like to dispose of their shares.
