“While competitor product offerings, along with a sluggish economy, have continued to curtail our growth in recent quarters, we remain optimistic that the launch of our new silicone hydrogel multifocal lens utilizing our patented technology, which is scheduled for a national roll-out over the next several months, coupled with favorable market demographics, will propel the Company’s revenue growth on a longer-term basis,” noted Michael Pecora, Chief Executive Officer of Unilens Vision Inc.  “Sales of our custom lens products should continue to play an important role in our long-term growth strategy, primarily due to continued healthy demand for our C-VUE Advanced® HydraVUE™ line of completely customizable silicone hydrogel contact lenses for monthly replacement.”

“We have worked diligently to contain costs, and the success these efforts was evident in a 0.9% reduction in operating expenses during the most recent quarter, when compared with the prior-year period,” continued Pecora.  “Furthermore, a number of improvements to our manufacturing processes during the past few quarters have allowed us to maintain gross profit margins consistent with year-earlier levels. As a result, our pretax profit margin improved slightly, to 18.8% of revenue in the second quarter of Fiscal 2013, when compared with a pretax margin of 18.7% in the first quarter of the fiscal year.  

For the three months ended December 31, 2012 (Q2 of FY2013), total revenue including royalty income decreased 4.8% to $2,012,049, compared with total revenue of $2,113,305 in the second quarter of FY2012.  Total product sales declined 2.1% to $1,429,475 in the most recent quarter, versus $1,459,411 in the prior-year quarter.  While sales in the disposable lens category decreased 7.6%, sales of custom soft lenses increased 11.0% when compared with the corresponding period of FY2012, due primarily to continued strong demand for the Company’s new C-VUE Advanced® HydraVUE™ line of fully customizable silicone hydrogel contact lenses for monthly replacement, which was launched in January 2011.  

Royalty income from Bausch & Lomb declined 10.9% to $582,574 in the most recent quarter, compared with $653,894 in the three months ended December 31, 2011.   

Gross profit margins were relatively unchanged at 37.1% of product sales during the second quarter of FY2013, versus 37.2% in the second quarter of FY2012.  

Operating expenses decreased 0.9% to $705,952 in the three months ended December 31, 2012, compared with $712,280 in the three months ended December 31, 2011, as modestly higher administrative expenses were more than offset by modest declines in sales and marketing expenses and research and development costs.

Net non-operating expenses declined 60.2% to $27,560, versus $69,273 a year earlier, primarily due to a 58.2% reduction in interest expense resulting from lower debt levels and the debt refinancing in May 2012.
