MOUNT ARLINGTON, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 18, 2005--Veridium Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: VRDM) announces today its financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2005.
Veridium posted net income from continuing operations for the quarter ended September 30, 2005 of about $429,000 on revenues from continuing operations of $3,390,000, and net income from continuing operations of about $311,000 on revenue of about $10,220,000 for the 9 months ended, September 30, 2005. These amounts exclude the operating results of Veridium discontinued recycling operation, and include the non-recurring elimination of certain expenses associated with Veridium's discontinued recycling operation.
Revenues from Veridium's discontinued recycling business were about $1,253,000 and about $2,859,000 for the nine months ended 2005 and 2004, respectively. The net loss incurred from this operation was about $3,934,000 and $517,000 for the nine months ended 2005 and 2004. The 2005 loss included approximately $2,959,000 of impairment charges associated with the discontinuance of this operation.
"Veridium has suffered some disappointing blows over the past few years and Veridium's business model is clearly in need of reinvention--a process that we started this past quarter and expect to complete this year," said Kevin Kreisler, Veridium's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "We are implementing a plan currently that we expect will unlock the value of Veridiums' service group and catalyze its growth while separately revitalizing the development of our technology driven industrial waste model. We have already made significant headway in this initiative, and will provide additional information on this shortly."
