CHICO, CA--(Marketwire - Aug 22, 2012) - AmeraMex International, Inc. (
The company also announced the resignation of CFO Jeffery Knott. AmeraMex has a search underway to replace Knott who resigned for personal reasons. The accounting firm of Newton and Associates will assist the company's in-house accounting staff until the position is filled. This resignation has delayed the filing of the company's annual reports with the SEC.
AmeraMex CEO Lee Hamre commented, "Our goal is to hire a CFO with public company experience. The CFO will assist AmeraMex in developing and maintaining disclosure controls along with managing internal/external financial reporting, updating the company's accounting system and providing management expertise to further company growth. When on board, the CFO will meet with the auditors and complete any remaining accounting adjustments required and then file all audited documents with the SEC for review and approval. While there is a delay in completing the audit, outside legal counsel is moving forward with drafting the Form-10K and Form-10Q required for filing the audited financial statements. We expect to add a new CFO to the management team within the next four weeks," added Hamre.
Highlights for the Second Quarter Ended June 30, 2012:

- Gross profit increased 87 percent over comparable 2011 gross profit
- Net income increased 208 percent of over net income for the 2011 second quarter
- Potential order flow in Africa and South America remains strong
- Audit for SEC approval moving forward
Second Quarter Ended June 30, 2012
The company reported revenue of $1,277,761, a 12.6 percent increase, when compared to revenue of $1,134,319 reported for the second quarter of 2011. Net income for the quarter was $417,240, an increase of 221 percent compared to net income of $129,834 for the second quarter of 2011.
Six-Month Period
Revenue for the six-month period was $1,991,439, down 14 percent when compared to revenue of $2,316,510 reported for the comparable six-month period of 2011. While gross profits increased 19 percent for the six-month period ending June 2012, net income for the six-month period was $20,219, compared with a net income of $132,071 for the comparable six-month period in 2011. The downturn in net income was due to certain adjustments made to financial statements for the period ended March 31, 2012.
As expected, accounting adjustments have been made to past financial statements during the SEC audit being performed by Squar Milner. These adjustments are reflected in the first quarter ended March 31, 2012 and affect the six-month period ended June 2012 as well as the comparable periods of 2011 reported in this news release. Going forward, all comparable periods reported will reflect adjusted financials.
