COOPER CITY, Fla., Aug 25, 2006 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX News Network/ --
China Direct Trading Corp. (OTC Bulletin Board: CHDT.OB) today announced consolidated results for the second quarter of FY2006 ended June 30, 2006, and the filing of its Form 10-Q for that fiscal quarter with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
FINANCIAL RESULTS: Reported consolidated gross revenues for the quarter ending June 30, 2006, were $3,969,957, an increase of 1,520% from the $261,016 in gross revenues reported for the second quarter of FY2005 and a sequential increase of 58% over first quarter FY2006 gross revenues of $2,511,809. The increase in gross revenues is primarily due to growth in power generator sales by Complete Power Solutions, LLC, a 51%-owned China Direct subsidiary.
Total sales orders reached $6,800,000 Q2 FY2006, of which $3.97 million could be recognized under applicable GAAP as second quarter FY2006 gross revenues.
Profitability continued to accelerate as second quarter FY2006 net income rose to $374,885 over sequential first quarter FY2006 net income of $42,718, versus a loss of $(18,097) for the corresponding second quarter of FY2005.
Cash position increased to $873,211 in Q2 2006 versus $9,090 at the end of the 2005 calendar year.
"Our profitability is increasing and our ability to sell, contract and complete power generator installations is accelerating, as evidenced by the rapid increase in completed orders over the second quarter," said Howard Ullman, CEO/President of China Direct. "The higher investment and associated costs in building out our infrastructure in Q1 FY2006 are now paying off and we will continue to strive to drive cost efficiencies to seek increased profits."
