CALGARY, AB / ACCESSWIRE / May 22, 2024 / Appulse Corporation ("Appulse" or "the Corporation") today reported financial results for the three-months ended March 31, 2024.
The operating structure of Appulse changed significantly with the November 1, 2023 sale of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Centrifuges Unlimited Inc. ("CUI"), to GEA Canada Inc. Further information providing details of the transaction have been published on SEDAR+. From the $10,100,000 final cash amount received pursuant to the sale, $750,000 was placed in escrow, supporting indemnities provided under the agreement, and the Corporation retired its outstanding bank obligations. The remainder, net of transaction costs and income taxes, was placed on interest-yielding investments, accounting for the Corporation's interest revenue of $112,775 for the first quarter of 2024. Operating costs for the three-month period of 2024 comprise conservative administrative expenses and a tax adjustment related to final filings for the 2023 fiscal year. Comparative results for the 2023 first quarter reflect Appulse corporate costs during that period and a one-line net income from discontinued operations, related to the operations of CUI during that quarter.
The net loss for the three-month period to March 31, 2024 was ($51,300) ($.00 per share), while the comparative period of the prior year reflects a net income of $43,800 ($.00 per share), comprised of a net loss from continuing operations of ($89,500) ($.01 per share) and a net income of $133,400 ($.01 per share) from discontinued operations. The Statement of Financial Position at March 31, 2024 reflects total assets of $8,489,000 (primarily comprised of cash and the escrow receivable) and total liabilities of $155,000, with a resulting net equity balance of $ 8,334,000.
