(Nasdaq: HEII) ( http://www.heii.com ) today announced results for its third quarter of fiscal 2005, which ended May 28, 2005. Net sales for the third quarter of fiscal 2005 were $13.7 million, a 24% improvement over sales of $11.1 million reported in the third quarter of fiscal 2004. The Company reported net income of $273,000 or $0.03 per share in the third quarter this year as compared to a loss of $1.0 million or ($0.12) per share last year. For the nine-month period ended May 28, 2005, net sales were $41.6 million, an increase of 30% over the first nine months of fiscal 2004. The Company reported net income for the first nine months of fiscal 2005 of $152,000 or $0.02 per share compared to a loss of $5.2 million or ($0.70) per share for the first nine months of fiscal 2004. "This has been a quarter of important accomplishments for the Company," stated Mr. Traynor, President and CEO. "We have maintained our strong year- over-year revenue growth, as well as the year-over-year improvements in gross margins. We have also added three new customers and five new programs with existing customers in the third quarter. Our operating expenses dropped to (excluding non-recurring items) $2.7 million in the quarter from $3.2 million last quarter. In addition, we successfully completed an important equity offering which generated $3.4 million of capital to continue growing the business. We will continue to focus the Company on our core service offerings so as to improve sales, operating efficiencies and income." In connection with the recently completed sale of convertible preferred stock, the Company reported a "deemed dividend on preferred shares" in the third quarter. This non-recurring, non-cash item is required by accounting rules when a convertible security is issued at a discount. The amount of this "deemed dividend" is $1,072,000 and is presented as a reduction to the Company's net income to determine "Net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders"; however, the "deemed dividend" has no effect on total shareholders' equity of the Company. The companies net loss attributable to common share holders was $799,000 or ($0.10) per share for the three months ended May 28, 2005 and $921,000 or ($0.11) per share for the nine months ended May 28, 2005. "We are very pleased that we could end the quarter in a positive cash position having fully repaid our line of credit," noted Mr. Traynor. "Together with our improved operating results, our successful equity offering enabled us to significantly strengthen our balance sheet and will allow us to generate more business with new and existing customers. The 'deemed dividend' is a reporting requirement associated with our offering which does not affect the Company's improved financial position or shareholder value," concluded Mr. Traynor.
