LAS VEGAS - August 21, 2013 - MetaPower International, Inc. (OTCPK: MTPR) is pleased to announce that the Company has posted its reviewed Financial Report for the second quarter of 2013 on OTCMarkets.com. These financials were compiled by the Company's in-house CPA and reviewed by the Company’s outside auditors. MetaPower International’s operating income was $184,208, an increase of 40% over Q2 2012 which was $111,068. The Company’s revenues for the quarter ending June 30, 2013 were $4,005,620, a decrease of 1.6% over Q2 2012 which were $4,072,370. The Company’s earnings (EBITDA) for the quarter were $195,320 which was a 36% increase over the same quarter of 2012.
Operations continued to be stable, however, we are seeing some personnel turnover in our oil sands projects. We have successfully replaced the departing personnel and have continued to successfully meet project milestones, with relatively minor reductions in cash flows. We have renewed our contract with our major client and have the basis for base business through the end of 2014.
We exhibited the Culture Assessment Application of our Noble Production Suite at the American Society of Chemical Engineers Global Conference in Q2. While there was a lot of interest in the product and the traffic was substantial, it now appears that a sale is unlikely to result from any of these leads. We now believe that the audience at this conference was not senior enough for proper consideration of our product.
Subsequent to the end of the quarter the Company attended the Markus Evans Petrochemical Summit at which there were more senior industry personnel. There was substantial interest in the Company’s product. We are engaged in follow up efforts with the leads that were generated.
We have plans to attend additional conferences to further gage the market reception to our offering.
We are continuing to aggressively sell our current suite of services and have plans to attend and present at additional trade shows.
It now appears that we will finish the year short of our goals. We expect that revenues for our current clients will stay flat for the rest of the year while we vigorously market our traditional services to secure new clients. We will continue to show our Culture Assessment Application and seek to validate it in the market place.
MetaPower will continue to report our progress each quarter in 2013. We look forward to meeting the current challenges and returning the company to our traditional growth path.
