Extends invitation to attend Annual Meeting in NYC August 26
FRMO Corp. (the “Company” or “FRMO”) (OTC Pink:FRMO) today
reported its financial results for its 2014 Fiscal Year, which
ended May 31, 2014.
Financial Highlights
FRMO’s 2014 Shareholders’ Equity increased by $10.68 million to
$94.05 million ($2.16 per share) at May 31, 2014, from $83.37
million ($1.93 per share) at May 31, 2013. Current assets,
comprised primarily of cash and equivalents and investments
available for sale, amounted to $86.52 million as of May 31, 2014
and $74.71 million as of May 31, 2013. Total liabilities were
$16.39 million as of May 31, 2014, compared to $12.65 million as of
May 31, 2013, the majority of each being deferred taxes.
Income from operations for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2014
was $6,677,768, down from $16,799,618 for the same period in the
prior year. The decrease is primarily attributable to the one-time
gain of $10,057,232 in 2013 from FRMO’s exchange of product
specific revenue interests in products managed by Horizon Kinetics
LLC (“HK”) for a 4.199% interest in the gross revenues of HK.
Comprehensive income for the year, which includes unrealized
gains, was $8,933,826, down from $14,113,860, including net income
of $3,872,747 ($0.09 per share basic and diluted), as compared to
$10,319,964 ($0.26 per share basic and diluted) for the same period
in the prior year. The decrease is primarily attributable to the
one-time gain of $10,057,232 in 2013 as described above.
Further details are available in the Annual Report of the
Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended May
31, 2014. These statements have been filed on the OTC Markets Group
