New ORCA Green Machine installations totaled 11 machines during the quarter, as compared to seven in the previous quarter and four in the fourth quarter of 2010.
Revenue in the second quarter of 2011 was $305,000, an increase of 24% from $247,000 in the previous quarter and up 251% from $87,000 in the same year-ago quarter, as the company emerges from its development stage to initial commercial sales. The increase in revenue was primarily due to improving sales and market penetration of the company–s ORCA Green Machine, as well as an increasing amount of recurring supply-related revenue.
Gross profit in the second quarter of 2011 was $180,000 or 59% of revenue, an increase from $11,000 or 13% of revenue in the same year-ago quarter.
Net loss in the second quarter of 2011 was $222,000 or $(0.00) per share, as compared to a net loss of $92,000 or $(0.00) per share in the same year-ago quarter. The second quarter 2011 net loss included depreciation and amortization costs of $129,000, versus no depreciation and amortization costs in the same year-ago quarter.
Cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2011 totaled $127,000, versus $145,000 at March 31, 2011. Totally Green has a $2 million line of credit designated for operations, of which the company used $1.2 million at the end of the second quarter.
For the third quarter of 2011, the company expects revenues of $400,000 to $500,000.
“During the second quarter, Totally Green continued to ramp up its commercialization activity with great success,” said Nate Baker, president and interim CFO of Totally Green. “The number of installations of our revolutionary ORCA Green Machines continued to climb across several new markets, and we are well on track to continue this growth and market expansion in the third quarter.
“The second quarter marked our first entrance into the convention center, hospital, hotel, and cruise line industries, and demonstrated that we are gaining traction in the government and sports arena markets. In fact, we are in advanced discussions with key military and chief sustainability officers in the U.S. Army, as led by Boyd Rutherford, our new strategic advisor, and we expect to see related purchase orders by the end of the third quarter.
“Our new direct-to-business distribution partnership with Admiral Express is bringing down some significant roadblocks to the commercial distribution of our Ingeo Green Bottle Spring Water. Admiral–s door-to-door delivery system for the Green Bottle Spring Water provides a –closed loop– solution for the compostable bottles that returns them to a central collection point for disposal in an eco-friendly way.
“Overall, we continue to be encouraged by the strong level of interest expressed by multi-billion dollar corporations that have environmental sustainability mandates, including the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and other environmental issues. We look forward to making some major announcements in the third quarter that further validates our ORCA Green technology, and which should drive new pilot programs and purchase orders through the remainder of 2011 and beyond.
“I should also note that as part of our continuing effort to enhance shareholder value, we anticipate becoming a fully reporting company with the SEC during the current quarter, and are planning to up-list to the OTCQX stock exchange by quarter–s end.”
