GUELPH, ON, Nov. 10, 2011 /PRNewswire/ - BIOREM Inc. (TSX-V: BRM) ("Biorem" or
"the Company") announced it has finalized two orders totalling $3.3
million in biogas and energy from waste projects in the last few weeks.
The projects will purify methane from anaerobic digesters for use in
electrical power generation from four different waste water treatment
plant sites in North America. Previously, the company accepted an
order on an energy-from-waste project, funded under the Ontario Power
Authority renewable energy program, for which Biorem will treat odour
from the methane generation process. These and other projects bring
year to date biogas market sector orders to $5.1 million which have
significantly exceeded our biogas sales targets for FY 2011.
"With our desulphurization technology and our excellent partners in the
alternative energy market we have far exceeded our market entry targets
for 2011" says Peter Bruijns, President and CEO of Biorem. "We are at
the early stages of developing a solid position in the emerging
alternative energy market. This market is providing growth that we
anticipate may offset the market slowdown in our traditional odour
control markets."
In addition, Biorem has entered into a term loan agreement with B47
Investment Fund I, LLC for biogas project financing purposes in the
amount of $637,500 which is due on May 8, 2012. The effective annual
interest rate on the loan is 17.75%.
The company made a management practice decision during the 3rd Quarter
to improve liquidity by significantly shortening its order fulfillment
cycle. In doing so, Unbilled Revenue (and Work In Process) would be
decreased as WIP converted to shipments and customer invoicing. The
net effect of this is a significant reduction in Revenues to $1million
for Q3 resulting in a Comprehensive Loss exceeding $1.2 million. The
positive impacts of this are to improve the Balance Sheet by lowering
AP, increasing AR leading to a stronger Cash position and a higher
backlog of $16million.
