(AMEX:ATC), the recognized leader in developing and manufacturing a variety of products for the all terrain vehicle (ATV), garden tractors, and golf carts, today announced its earnings of .07 cents per share for first quarter of fiscal 2006 versus .10 cents per share for first quarter fiscal 2005. These figures are based on fully diluted shares of 5,244,938 in 2005 compared to the current number of shares of 7,225,579. While total revenue declined just over two percent from $5,623,739 to $5,501,508, gross profit increased 34% from $1,667,515 to $2,221,397. Income from operations also saw an increase of nearly 16% from $785,501 to $908,756 while cash increased from $2,215,156 to $3,144,444 year over year, nearly a 42% increase. "We are especially pleased with gross profit increasing by more than a third," stated Dave Davis, Chief Financial Officer, Cycle Country Accessories Corporation. "With a more than 40% increase in cash, we are well positioned for the upcoming fiscal year and beyond." While this winter has been warmer than average, the company's other divisions, Weekend Warrior, Contract Manufacturing, and Plastic Wheel Covers, continue to grow at a tremendous rate. "Cycle Country continues to move forward in its goal of becoming less seasonal with projected growth in three of its four divisions of between 37% (plastic wheel covers) to more than 1,300% (Weekend Warrior)," added Davis. Davis went on to note that the acquisition of Simonsen Iron Works in the third quarter of 2005 increased both the interest expense as well as the amount of shares the net income was spread over in the year over year comparison. The Simonsen acquisition is proving to be both EBIT and EBITDA positive.
