Q1 FISCAL 2021 HIGHLIGHTS
Revenues for the first quarter of fiscal 2021 ending November 30, 2020 were $849,184, a $559,192 or a 40% decrease from the $1,408,376 recorded in the comparative period. Revenues were impacted by the decline in global oil prices, combined with the lack of access to markets in Canada, and the continued impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Gross profit for the first quarter of fiscal 2021 decreased by $358,043 to $381,173 or 45% of revenue compared to $739,216 or 52% of revenue in the comparative prior period. This decrease in gross profit is primarily due to the decrease in unit demand and the reduction in revenue. The reduction in gross margin as a percentage of sales is primarily due to underutilized capacity costs included in cost of sales.
Total expenses in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 were $682,143 as compared with $843,411 in the comparative prior period. This reduction in expenses is primarily due to benefits received of $89,982 from the Company's continued participation in the Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy Program ("CEWS") combined with cost savings realized from cost containment efforts implemented in fiscal 2020, which included wage reductions and cuts on discretionary spending. The Company continued with its product enhancements including the development of IIoT solutions. Sales and marketing programs focused on expanding applications through product differentiators and reaching new customer channels with digital platforms.
The Company reported an operating loss before other items of $300,970 compared to an operating loss of $104,195 in the first quarter of fiscal 2020. Adjusted for interest income and other items, the net loss after income taxes for the first quarter of fiscal 2021 was $142,488 compared to net earnings after taxes of $69,060 in the prior period. The operating loss before other items and the loss and after income taxes in the current fiscal quarter was due to the decrease in sales and gross profit and was positively impacted by the reduction in total expenses which included the receipt of COVID-19 related government subsidies combined with cost containment efforts implemented in fiscal 2020.
