Contracted backlog for the licensing division is defined as undelivered contractual commitments, other than minimum royalty obligations, and assumes that in cases of multi-year/multi-facility commitments by licensees, subsequent facilities match the industrial technology configured for the first facility. Contracted backlog for the structural products division is defined as the undelivered portion of signed construction contracts. The timing of these contractual commitments into revenue is uncertain and the possibility exists that contractual commitments can be de-booked. A breakdown of the Company's contracted backlog is as follows: - The Company achieved record backlog as at June 30, 2008 of approximately $49,000,000, representing a 40% increase over backlog of approximately $35,000,000 as at June 30, 2007. Total new deals signed for the quarter were $18,700,000. - Backlog for the licensing division as at June 30, 2008 was approximately $19,000,000. This excludes minimum royalty obligations. - Backlog for the structural products division as at June 30, 2008 was approximately $30,000,000. Business Update - During the second quarter of 2008, the Company concluded a fixed asset term loan for its structural products division, KML Engineered Homes Ltd., with a reputable, global financial institution for $1.8 million, netting $1.3 million in available capital. - Genesis announces the departure of Mr. John Gardner, as Executive Chairman of the Company. The Board would like to thank Mr. Gardner for his contributions over the past two years and wish him well in his future endeavors. The role of Executive Chairman will be eliminated and Mr. Richard Black, a director of the Company, will assume the duties of the Chairman of the Board. Licensing Division - Signed a new license agreement with Metallist Ltd., for the southern region of Russia, which includes the purchase of the Company's Coil-To-Panel ("CTP") line; - Signed a new license agreement with Sawabeh International Group, for the Kingdoms of Saudi Arabia and Bahrain, for three plants over a five year period; - Deployed its Material Optimization Technology ("MOT") at its California licensee; and - Completed the development, testing and manufacturing of its newest MOT series, MOT 6000, for its central Russia licensee, Greenford Trading, which was shipped in July 2008. Structural Products Division - Signed $8.2 million in new sales orders with both existing customers and eight new customers; - Gained momentum in new institutional market for this division. Signed contracts to provide light steel framing for a school and school portables in the Greater Toronto Area; - Finalized the installation of the MOT at its Vaughan, Ontario plant; and - Reported backlog of approximately $30,000,000. "The second quarter of 2008 can be characterized as having mixed operating results," stated Vince Mifsud, Genesis' President and Chief Executive Officer. "The Company signed two new license agreements in the second quarter, one in Saudi Arabia, and the other in southern Russia. This brings the total number of new license agreements for this fiscal period to three. Our target for fiscal 2008 is four license agreements, so we are pleased with our results thus far. We believe the licensing division is building good momentum." Mr. Mifsud continued, "The Company's structural products division had strong new deal signings during the second quarter of approximately $8.2 million, and also deployed its MOT technology. This division experienced installation cost overruns during the second quarter amounting to approximately $530,000, primarily as a result of what the Company believes were defective products and services provided by third party vendors, with remedial costs being borne by the Company. However, we remain optimistic that operating results for this division will improve as a result of the record backlog in customer contracts, with expected margins of approximately 18% - 20%, and the deployment of its MOT."
