FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Unity Wireless Reports Results for the Fourth Quarter
and Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2003
March 30, 2004 - BURNABY, BC Unity Wireless Corporation (OTCBB: UTYW; Germany: WKN#924385), a developer of integrated wireless subsystems and power amplifiers, announced summary financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2003.
Net sales for the quarter ended December 31, 2003 were $218,650, down 74% from $835,205 for the same period in 2002. Cost of goods sold for the period decreased 45% to $383,900, including a $191,414 write-down of inventory, from $698,283 in 2002. Net loss for the period increased 194% to $1,728,846 from $587,459 in 2002 due mostly to the above noted inventory write down and a charge of $1,098,685 related to accretion of interest and debt settlements.
The Companys net sales for the year ended December 31, 2003 were $2,375,128, down 21% from $2,991,971 in 2002. Cost of goods sold in 2003 decreased 19% to $2,035,334 from $2,497,496 in 2002. Net loss in 2003 increased 12% to $3,007,950, or $0.07 per share, from $2,664,841, or $0.08 per share, in 2002.
The decrease in sales for the year was largely due to postponements in customer purchase decisions in the third and fourth quarters of 2003 to early 2004. Net of a $382,039 write-down of inventory, cost of goods sold for 2003 decreased 34% primarily as a result of various efficiencies introduced in the period providing for an effective gross margin of 30%. Contributing to the increase in net loss was also a one-time non-cash adjustment of $1,254,199 due to the accretion of interest and debt settlements.
Ilan Kenig, President and CEO of Unity Wireless commented, While our 2003 results were not up to our expectations, we are very pleased with the level of revenue and orders already in-hand this year as they already exceed the full fiscal 2003 years revenues. We see 2004 as being the year that Unity Wireless becomes a recognized provider to our industry.
