HONG KONG --(Business Wire)-- Global-Tech Advanced Innovations Inc. (NASDAQ:GAI) today announced its net sales and earnings for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 (the Company's first quarter of fiscal 2010).

Net sales for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 were $25.7 million, compared to $26.8 million for the corresponding quarter in fiscal 2009. Included in net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2010 were sales of approximately $16.5 million of floor care products and $7.7 million of electronic components.

Net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2010 was $1.2 million, or $0.38 per share, compared to a net income of $1.9 million, or $0.63 per share, for the first quarter of fiscal 2009. Included in net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2009 was a non-recurring gain of $1.8 million related to pending litigation. Excluding this non-recurring gain, net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2009 was $0.01 million, or $0.04, per share.

John C.K. Sham, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "Despite the decrease in net sales, we are pleased to report that our gross profit margins for the first quarter of fiscal 2010, when compared to the corresponding quarter in fiscal 2009, improved from 9% to 17%. Additionally, our new telecommunication manufacturing service business generated $1.5 million in sales with significant operating income." Mr. Sham continued, "Our efforts on improving profitability through better product mix and efficiency, coupled with our focus on cost control management, have positively impacted our overall operating results. In particular, sales of higher resolution camera modules for cellular phones have grown substantially and we expect this improved mix to continue for the remainder of 2009." Mr. Sham concluded, "Despite the current challenging economic conditions, we expect net sales in our floor care, electronic component and telecommunication manufacturing service businesses to remain relatively stable for the balance of the year. We continue to believe that the Company's prospects are promising and intend to utilize our available resources to position the Company for long-term growth, in spite of the current adverse market conditions."
