  • Finished the quarter with $912 thousand in project backlogii, down 27% from September 30, 2020;
  • Gross margin was 83.1% for the period compared to 71.2% for the year-ago period;
  • Cash generated from operations (before changes in non-cash items) of $194 thousand was a $414 thousand improvement from the $220 thousand in cash consumed from operations in the same period a year ago;
  • Income from operations for the period of $185 thousand was a $420 thousand improvement from the same period a year ago, and a $280 thousand improvement over Q1-2021;
  • Net and comprehensive income for the period of $141 thousand ($0.001 per share) was a $430 thousand improvement from the $289 thousand ($0.002 per share) net and comprehensive loss for the same period a year ago; and
  • $301 thousand working capital deficit and $636 thousand in cash on hand at March 31, 2021, compared to $267 thousand working capital deficit and $549 thousand in cash at September 30, 2020; however, when excluding unearned revenue (customer deposits) from the working capital determination, the Company currently has a $1.05 million surplus as compared to only $780 thousand to start the current fiscal year.

Summary financial highlights for the six-months ended March 31, 2021:

Management commentary:

"Delivering two significant projects during the quarter drove our record second-quarter revenue," said Memex CEO David McPhail. "And without any further government funding, we achieved our best-ever single quarterly bottom line and record operational cash flow. We continue to see strong interest in MERLIN, our data-driven solution for manufacturers, especially as our U.S. customers return to more normal operations post pandemic. Looking forward, we anticipate our current backlog combined with new business to be secured over the next two quarters to generate the revenue necessary to achieve our first profitable annual result since becoming a reporting issuer."

Forward-Looking Statement

The statement "Looking forward, we anticipate our current backlog combined with new business to be secured over the next two quarters to generate the revenue necessary to achieve our first profitable annual result since becoming a reporting issuer" is a forward-looking statement. The intention was to communicate management's interpretation of the Company's backlog and future bookings into revenue combined with the effect that their cost cutting initiatives will have on future financial results. This forward-looking statement is based upon bookings the Company has already received from its Customers that are supported by purchase orders, as well as from management's best estimate of future bookings to be generated and converted into revenue over the third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2021. These statements also consider internally prepared future forecasts of Company performance and take into account the spending levels experienced since the onset of COVID in March 2020. However, there is no guarantee that revenues will fall within management's projections or if spending levels can or will be maintained or produce the anticipated result, or if other factors may prevent the Company from achieving revenue necessary to break even in fiscal 2021. This forward-looking statement is subject to material risk factors such as anticipated future bookings not materializing, bookings not converting into revenue as quickly as management anticipates, or at all, and that unforeseen costs may be incurred delaying profitability beyond management's expectations or achieving profitability at all. In addition, this forward-looking statement is subject to various unknown material risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the ability of the Company to control or predict. Such forward-looking information represents Management's reasonable judgment based on information currently available. No forward-looking statement can be guaranteed, and actual future results may vary materially. Accordingly, readers are advised not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements or information. The aforementioned forward-looking statement is made as of the date of this press release and, except as required by applicable securities legislation, MEMEX assumes no obligation to update publicly or revise this forward-looking statement to reflect subsequent information, events, or circumstances.
