BURNABY, BC, Feb. 4 /CNW/ - International Water-Guard Industries Inc. today announced its financial results for the first quarter fiscal 2010 ended December 31, 2009 .

The Company reported sales of $1,036,208 compared to $1,214,916 for the same quarter of the previous year. While equipment unit sales were similar to a year earlier, the revenue decrease is primarily due to the lower value of the U.S. dollar. The decrease was partially offset by reduced operating expenses, minimizing the impact on net earnings. First quarter net earnings were $15,172 compared to $60,120 .

"As the business jet sector bottoms out and begins recovery, we continue to pay attention to our costs to ensure performance, especially with a weak US dollar on the revenue line," said David Fox , IWG's president & CEO. "While doing this, we are taking an aggressive look towards future opportunities and growth for the company," he added.

The results for the quarter provide 0.0cents net earnings per share in the current quarter compared to net earnings of 0.2cents per share in the first quarter of the prior year on both a basic and fully diluted basis.
