On August 19, 1996, The Sled Dogs Company (the "Company") announced its year
end results, as follows:
The Sled Dogs Company (Nasdaq: SNOW) reported a net loss of
$1,369,635, or $.12 per share, on net sales of ($108,665) for the
fourth quarter ended June 30, 1996 compared to a net loss of
$788,099 or $.21 per share, on net sales of $50,541 for the fourth
quarter ended June 30, 1995.
For the twelve months ended June 30, 1996, the Company reported
net sales of $876,803, a 9% increase over net sales of $808,082
reported for the twelve months ended June 30, 1995. The Company
reported a net loss of $3,750,088 or $.41 per share for the twelve
months ended June 30, 1996 compared to a net loss of $2,900,386 or
$.77 per share for the twelve months ended June 30, 1995.
"Notwithstanding a large Canadian order, poor sell through fed by
lackluster Western snow conditions and sales representative
performance issues caused 1996 product line returns to exceed
sales for the quarter," said The Sled Dogs Company President and
Chief Executive Officer John Sundet.
"Fourth quarter highlights included the continued rollout of
fiscal 1997's breakthrough K9(TM) model, the development of major
retailer orders and international distributor relationships, a
Mountain Dew Extreme Network cross promotion, and planning and
preparation for fiscal 1997," he continued.
