Active Control Technology Releases Fiscal 2011 Results

Active Control Technology Inc. (TSX VENTURE:ACT), a leading provider in the design, manufacture and marketing of both wireless and fiber network solutions for mine communications, and the commercial security and access control industries, today announced its financial results for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2011.

The Corporation generated revenues of $2,948,429 during the year ended July 31, 2011, as compared to $5,310,491 in the year ended July 31, 2010. The decrease is attributable to a decline in the deployment of new ActiveMine mine sites, combined with an unusual increase in revenue for 2010 as a result of a backlog in prior years from existing customers. Although sales were lower the Corporations gross profit increased from $611,150 in fiscal 2010 to $1,103,196 in fiscal 2011. More significantly the gross margin percentage rose from 12% in 2010 to 37% for the year ended July 31, 2011.

"I am pleased with the success we have had during the year enhancing our ActiveMine(TM) business and providing a product that our customers can rely on," said Jonathan Emanuel, President and CEO.

The Corporation incurred a net loss of $722,890 or $(0.06) per share during the year ended July 31, 2011, as compared to a net loss of $4,299,079 or ($0.40) per share for the year ended July 31, 2010. The significantly lower loss was attributed to higher gross profit and reduced administrative costs.

"It is rewarding to see the success we had as a business during the year improving our margins and reducing our operational costs," said Graham Warren, CFO. "We will continue to focus heavily on maintaining margins and keeping operating costs in line with our level of business."
