Central Industries Corporation Inc. (TSX VENTURE:CND.A) increased sales for the seventh consecutive year, with annual revenues reaching $38 million up $3.6 million from 2006. Central had earnings of $804,000 before interest taxes and amortization, an increase of $417,000 over 2006. Earnings per share increased to $0.02 in 2007 from $0.00 in 2006, reflecting the increase in net profits to $340,000 from $66,000. Company was able to increase production for the year to meet demand attributed to growth of the Company's "Choice Pak" brand awareness, increased shipments to domestic retailers and new sales into Russia. This allowed it to improve sales and maintain profitability margins. CICI generated record fourth quarter sales of $9.8 million for the 3 months ended October 31, 2007, up from $9.3 million for the same period in the previous fiscal year. The Company realized income before interest, taxes and amortization of $228,000, in this period, up $141,000 from $87,000 for the same period in 2006. Despite the pressures on raw material costs, increased productivity in resulted in a decrease in the cost of meat products and labour as a percent of sales, from 89.7% in 2006 to 87.5% in 2007, as a result of improved operating efficiencies and reduced fluctuations in raw material costs. In 2007, the company's selling, general and administration expenses increased by $648,000 to $3,948,000, an increase of 20% from $3,300,000 in the same period in 2006. This increase is due to the higher cost of operating the Timberlea plant due to increased output and increased costs of carrying higher inventory, including storage and material handling costs. Administrative salaries also increased. As a percentage of sales, selling, general and administration expenses was 10.4% of sales for the year ended October 31, 2006, from 9.6 % in 2006. Management continues to consider other means of increasing shareholder value and considering other higher margin opportunities in meat processing in Canada and Europe as well as other business opportunities in Canada and abroad.
