Spy Optic’s parent company announced Friday a net loss of $804,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009, beating last year’s decline of $851,000 on the quarter, despite posting a 36.2 percent sinkhole in sales. The company was able to offset the drop in sales by reducing operating costs by $1.8 million for the quarter.

According to the release:

Consolidated net sales for three months ended March 31, 2009 were $7.4 million compared to net sales of $11.6 million for three months ended March 31, 2009.  The net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2009 included $130,000 in non-cash share-based compensation costs in accordance with FASB No. 123(R).

“As stated last month, the current recession continues to have a significant impact on our global sales,” commented Stone Douglass, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. “We have been seeking new opportunities on a global basis.”

Jerry Collazo, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, added, “During this period we have worked together with our vendors and customers and fully appreciate the difficulty everyone is undergoing and we believe that these efforts will enhance business relationships.”

Concluding, Stone Douglass added, “We continue to experience a soft economy and as such we are operating cautiously and managing expenses appropriately, but we are very excited about new opportunities that are unfolding for Orange 21 and its shareholders.”
