ARNPRIOR, ON / ACCESSWIRE / July 31, 2023 / Plaintree Systems Inc. (CSE:NPT) ("Plaintree" or the "Company").

Audited Annual Statements for the Fiscal Year ended March 31, 2023

Plaintree announced today that it has released its audited consolidated financial statements and related management discussions and analysis for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2023.

During fiscal 2023, Plaintree realized revenues from operations of $19,943,120 up from revenues of $16,192,530 in fiscal 2022. Plaintree ended fiscal 2023 year with a net loss before income tax expense and impairment of $(1,587,712) compared with losses of $(200,856) in fiscal 2022.

"This year included the integration of our Elmira purchase into Plaintree's operations, including transferring, setting-up and retraining of the entire Elmira manufacturing process from Elmira to Arnprior." said David Watson CEO. "This resulted in heavy expenditure with only nominal revenues for the first two fiscal quarters of 2023 for Elmira. Plaintree also made a number of investments in productivity such as acquiring the largest laser cutter in eastern Ontario, an investment in inventory of over a million dollars, as well as the installation of a Triodetic dome in our backyard for additional storage. Also the delay of a large mining order from Q4 of 2023 to Q3 of 2024 for Triodetic lowered expected revenues for last year. Last year was a challenge but we believe that the investment and focus spent in fiscal 2023 should produce more positive results in fiscal 2024.
