Revenue was $4,549,798 for the year ended 2011 compared to $2,799,935 for the same period in 2010, due to increased orders within existing accounts and the addition of 8 new customers in 2011. Our cost of goods sold was 69% in 2011 compared to 72% for the same period in 2010, mainly due to the decrease in direct labor as a percent of sales. The Company’s gross margin was 31% compared to 28% for the same period in 2010. Stockholder’s equity increased by $154,871, resulting in shareholder surplus of $338,046 as of December 31, 2011.

Our Chief Financial Officer, John Bennett, stated “PMI’s organic growth and expansion of its customer base in 2011 continues to fuel the Company’s impressive financial growth.

Mr. Bennett also commented “PMI experienced a positive increase in virtually all of its financial metrics, which gives the Company a balanced financial foothold as it continues to experience rapid growth.”

“As demonstrated by our strong financial results and continued profitability in 2011, PMI’s ability to provide a U.S. based manufacturing solution with a competitive cost structure for our customers continues to drive our growth and sustain our profitable business model. Furthermore, the financial results reflect the breadth of our end-to-end services in creating meaningful organic growth and validate our strategy of building a scalable domestic operation with global resources to support the growing demand of our current and prospective customer base,” said Kam Madhi, CEO of PMI.

“PMI is among a select few companies in both its industry and the over-the-counter trading market, that continues to experience above-industry gross margins and profitable operations, which we believe will ultimately translate to intrinsic shareholder value for our stockholders,” stated Mr. Mahdi.
