Covalon Announces Date of Annual General Meeting and First Quarter Financial Results
February 25th, 2011
MISSISSAUGA, Ontario – February 25, 2011 – /CNW/ - Covalon Technologies Ltd. (the
"Company" or "Covalon") (TSX-V: COV), an advanced medical technologies company,
today announced its annual general and special meeting of shareholders will be held at
2:00 pm on April 14, 2011 at the offices of Stikeman Elliott LLP, 53rd Floor, Commerce
Court West, 199 Bay Street, Toronto, Ontario. The record date for the meeting will be
Tuesday, March 15, 2011. The Company also announced financial results for its first
quarter ended December 31, 2010. Quarterly revenue was $661,115. Quarterly
operating expenses were $946,579. Net loss was $629,241 or $0.008 per share.
Covalon continues to have a strong balance sheet with no debt and $5,460,874 in cash,
cash equivalents and short-term investments as of December 31, 2010.
Brian Pedlar, Covalon's Chief Executive Officer stated, “Our current revenue model
based on selling our advanced technologies to large medical companies does not
currently produce consistent revenues on a quarterly basis. Consequently, any one
quarter’s financial results are not particularly indicative of the Company’s prospects.
We are working on a number of exciting initiatives that have the potential to be
transformative events for Covalon. The purpose of this strategy is to leverage
Covalon’s considerable technology base in a variety of new innovative applications in
order to unlock shareholder value. I hope to be in a position to share these
developments with shareholders in the upcoming weeks as well as at the Annual
General Meeting. I continue to be optimistic about the Company's technologies and
prospects. I am well aware that like many other health science companies, Covalon has
taken longer to achieve its full potential than all would have hoped. I firmly believe that
in the fullness of time, our shareholders’ patience will be well rewarded.”
