2014 Q1 Summary:
-
The Company's operating loss was $777,000, down from an operating loss
of $905,000 in the 2013 period.
-
Combined asset liquidation revenue and earnings (loss) of equity
accounted asset liquidation investments (pre-tax) was approximately
$2.0 million, compared to $2.2 million in the prior year period.
-
The Company did not record intellectual property licensing revenue
during Q1 2014, but did receive $200,000 related to settlement of a
patent infringement lawsuit in Q1 2013.
-
SG&A expenditures, including expenses paid to related parties,
declined 19% to $2.1 million, versus $2.6 million in the year-ago
quarter, principally reflecting the salaries and forfeiture of options
by the former Co-CEOs and other employees that departed the Company
effective June 30, 2013.
-
Total operating costs and expenses declined 18% to $2.7 million,
largely due to the aforementioned SG&A reduction.
-
Net loss for the period was $25.6 million, or $0.91 per diluted common
share. The Company decided to set up a valuation reserve, amounting to
approximately $24.7 million, against its deferred income tax assets.
The deferred income tax assets represent the future tax benefits of
loss carryforwards from prior years. The reserve was a one-time,
non-cash item.
Heritage Global Partners Managing Partner Ross Dove stated, "Heritage
Global's asset liquidation, advisory, going concern and investment
banking businesses are all showing positive signs of growth.
Successfully completed recent auctions included the assets of a GE
Energy Management Division Plant in MN as well as ongoing online sales
for Pfizer Inc. A sampling of upcoming auctions includes: a unique sale
of the mobile fleet of PET and CT imaging equipment and trailers on
behalf of Radiology Corporation of America in late May; North America's
two largest apparel manufacturing auctions on behalf of Riverside
Manufacturing Company in early June; and also in early June, an
equipment sale for Deluxe Laboratories, Inc.'s Hollywood film processing
facility. Our European operation is starting to win significant
contracts, with the most notable being the auction of the assets of
Lufthansa Technik Airmotive Ireland's Dublin plant. Our forward flow
contract business is also growing as we sign new clients and expand our
programs with existing clients. And our strategic alliance with Colliers
International, to jointly pursue opportunities for turnkey brokerage of
distressed manufacturing facilities, is generating new business."
Heritage Global Partners Managing Partner Kirk Dove added, "On the
expense side, we are benefitting from a streamlined operating structure
with reduced corporate overhead as we integrate all of our operating
platforms. Lastly, we wish to extend a warm welcome to our many new
shareholders - many of them residing in Canada - as a result of Counsel
Corporation's recent move to dividend their entire Heritage Global
holding to their shareholders as they turn their focus exclusively to
their financial services business. Our shares were recently also listed
on the Canadian Securities Exchange under the stock symbol HGP."
