Turbotec Products Plc Subsidiary
Appoints Two Independent Directors
Wednesday, June 28th, 2006
THERMODYNETICS, INC., WINDSOR, CT (TDYT:OTCBB)
The year ended March 31, 2006 was
notable in that our Turbotec subsidiary
achieved record revenues and
expectations for the 2007 fiscal year is
for further growth. At the same time,
the Vulcan Industries subsidiary was
closed due to a number of factors and
Vulcan is now reported as a discontinued
operation in the financial statements.
On a continuing operations basis, the
Turbotec subsidiary is growing. Turbotec
is well financed having raised equity
capital through an IPO on the London
Stock Exchange’s AIM Market and is
trading under the symbol TRBO. Turbotec
is expecting to demonstrate continued
growth in both revenues and
profitability.
The expectation for the ‘07 fiscal
year is that new product launches will
begin to capitalize on the company’s
technology and apply it to “green”
applications and other sophisticated
heat transfer applications using
titanium and other surface enhanced
tubing. Initial products are being
developed for the reclamation of waste
energy from air conditioning,
refrigeration and heat pump systems so
that the reclaimed heat can be recycled
and used for a variety of purposes.
Turbotec believes that this is a major
market and with the high cost of energy,
it is an opportune time to market such
energy savings products.
In fiscal ‘06, net revenues advanced
20% to $18.750 million from $15.651
million in fiscal 2005 while, on a
continuing business basis, income from
operations advanced to $1.2 million vs.
$0.8 million, a 50% increase and pretax
income was twice that of the prior year.
At this writing, based on the
12,806,773 shares of TRBO outstanding,
the market value of TRBO is in excess of
$20 million, corresponding to TDYT
having a value for the TRBO 56.32%
holding alone of $12 million, or
approximately $3/share. The calculation
is based on an exchange rate of US$1.84
for each UK pound sterling, and 4.027
million shares of TDYT outstanding.
Two independent directors to
represent the British subsidiary have
been appointed. Tom Nairn is the new
Chairman and he is joined by Robert
Lowe, both of whom were appointed on
June 20, 2006, and both of whom are UK
based. That brings the Board to 5, as
Anthony Mirabella, Sunil Raina and
Robert Lieberman are the existing board
members. Their resumes are included in
the Turbotec press release that can be
viewed on the web site
www.turbotecproducts.com. It is
anticipated that by rounding out the
board with Messrs Nairn and Lowe,
because of their familiarity with
Turbotec’s business base and the
business climate in both the US and
Europe, they will help Turbotec to
expand both in the US and in Europe.
TRBO’s business is expanding in the
areas of swimming pool heat pumps, ice
machines and boiler tubing. They have
bolstered their staff with new senior
managers in Sales and Marketing and
Product Engineering. Additions to
staffing are continuing with the intent
of supporting the growth of the company
and to concentrate on continuing
improvement in operations, engineering
and customer support.
