Revenues Up 50 Percent, Net Income $1.6 Million
MELBOURNE, Fla., Feb. 27, 2008 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Alternative Construction Technologies, Inc. (OTC BB: ACCY.OB) announced today its summarized audited financial results for 2007. Revenues increased to $13 million, a 50% increase over the prior year. ACCY has exceeded its projected revenue of $10 million in 2007 by 30% or $3 million. Net income was $1.6 million for 2007 compared to a loss of $2.0 million in 2006. The Company's Basic EPS for 2007 was $0.22. The effects of the outstanding options and warrants, while increasing cash, would reduce Basic EPS by $0.08 per share.
John S. Wittler, Interim Chief Financial Officer, stated, ``The increase in revenues is a direct result of the strategic acquisitions and the Company's diversification from a product supplier to a systems provider in 2007. Additionally, the increase in earnings is reflective of manufacturing process improvement initiatives implemented in late 2006 and the strategic acquisitions completed during 2007.''
Alternative Construction Technologies, Inc. (ACCY) possesses a unique and patented construction technology called the ACTech(r) Panel System that is used in the design and production of state-of-the-art buildings in commercial, residential, industrial and modular building applications. Generically known as structural insulated panels (SIPs), ACCY's revolutionary and efficient construction solution utilizes an inherently better galvanized steel ``skin'' SIP system to complete energy efficient, stronger, safer, faster, and more economical structures than conventional wood- and brick-based building products. The patented ACTech(r) SIP system is environmentally-friendly and easier to construct with -- not only saving labor cost and cutting construction time, but also reducing recurring monthly heating and cooling energy bills by 30-50% and often more. Most importantly, the ACTech(r) Panel System possesses disaster tolerant strength and has tested stronger than conventional concrete block or wood frame construction. In hurricane projectile tests, the ACTech(r) Panel System has proved to meet or surpass the most stringent wind, projectile and uplift codes in the nation, including the 2006 Florida Building Code. The ACTech(r) Panel System offers builders and consumers many competitive and comparative advantages of use due to its wide range of attributes. As this new construction technology gains awareness or hurricane- and tornado-prone states establish new building codes and rebuild from recent weather disasters, ACCY believes its products will be in greater demand.
