Oct. 14
/CNW/ - Canyon Creek Food Company Ltd., ("Canyon Creek") listed on the TSX Venture Exchange Inc. under the trading symbol "CYF" announces fiscal 2009 annual results. Listed below are some of the highlights.
SALES
-----
Canyon Creek sales declined 4.0% in fiscal 2009 compared to the fiscal year ended
May 31
2008. This decrease in sales primarily relates to further softness with our retail business. The retail customer took a price increase which adversely impacted sales as the consumer began to demonstrate some resistance to the price as the country entered into a recession. The Company continues to focus on building sales through this customer, along with others.
GROSS PROFIT
------------
The gross profits increased from 13% to 16.5% during the fiscal year ended
May 31, 2009
, compared to the fiscal year ended
May 31, 2008
. This increase is attributed to lower cost of ingredients, efficiencies at plant level and the addition of higher margin customers. The company will continue to focus on reducing its cost base.
NET LOSS
--------
The net loss for the year ended
May 31, 2009
decreased by
$484,861
compared to the fiscal year ended
May 31, 2008
. The decrease in losses is attributable to the write off of our license agreement and product development costs of
$479,697
in fiscal 2008. This decision is consistent with GAAP requirements for valuing assets based on financial performance.
