For the 2013 Financial Year the Group achieved Revenues of $23.3m (up from $21.1m in the previous year) and Net Income of $5.4m (up from $4.9m. in the previous year). In the 2013 Financial Year our sales increased by 5.8% and Net Income by 7.9% whilst our total Operating Expenses rose by 2.6% from $6.2m to $6.4m. Key indicators in our latest balance sheet (such as stockholders’ equity which reached $900K against a deficit of $5.5m at the end of 2012) point to solid basis to continue to develop the Coda Octopus Group.

The full Annual Report is available at www.otcmarkets.com (symbol – CDOC).

Annmarie Gayle, Group CEO said “These full year results show a continuation of the solid progress made by the Group over recent years with strong improvements in profitability and our balance sheet as a whole.

Although we expect our first quarter results to be down on last years’, we believe that the fundamentals are in place for the business to continue to grow. Assuming that we continue to see improvement in the global economy, the planned launch of a number of new products in this year combined with the opening of our new offices in Perth, Australia should, in conjunction with our existing products and services, provide  good foundation for another good year for the Group”.

The Group consists of a Marine Products business located in Lakeland, Florida, Edinburgh, Scotland, Perth, Australia, and Bergen, Norway, and engineering businesses, Coda Octopus Colmek in Salt Lake City, Utah and Coda Octopus Martech in Weymouth, England.

Alongside providing bespoke engineering and development for defense applications one of the Group's key products is the patented Coda Echoscope® - the first real time 3D sub-sea sonar which is used in oil and gas, underwater construction, search and rescue operations and port and harbor security and constructions. The top end software which runs on the Echoscope® (Underwater Survey Explorer) is also proprietary to Coda Octopus. The Echoscope® is also at the heart of the Underwater Inspection System which is being adopted for port and harbor security, and other applications globally. We have a number of products which are based on our real time 3D technology (Echoscope®, Underwater Inspection System and Dimension® (the latter being a forward looking real time sonar targeted at ROV applications)).

With this patented revolutionizing sub-sea visualization capability, and the existing systems integration skills within Coda Octopus Colmek, Inc. and Coda Octopus Martech Ltd., the Coda Octopus Group believes it can become a world leading integrated sonar technology supplier.
