FRMO Corp. Announces Results for Fiscal
2013
Extends
invitation to
attend Annual Meeting in NYC August 27
Elmsford, N.Y. August 8, 2013. FRMO Corp.
(FRMO-OTC-PINK) has issued its audited Annual Report for its fiscal
year ended
May 31, 2013.
Financial Highlights
FRMO?s net income was $10.3 million (26 cents
per share pre and post full dilution) for the fiscal year ended May
31, 2013. This
amount represents a 215% increase over the 2012 net income figure
of $3.27
million that is largely attributable to the realized gain described
below on
the exchange of its product-specific revenue interests in certain
products
managed by Horizon Kinetics LLC (?Horizon Kinetics?).
For the years ended May 31, 2013 and 2012,
revenues from the product-specific revenue interests were
approximately
$2,418,000 and $2,211,000, respectively. As of May 31, 2013, FRMO
will receive
a single revenue interest (the ?Revenue Interest?) equal to 4.199%
of the gross
revenues of Horizon Kinetics. On May 31, 2013, the 4.199% Revenue
Interest had
a fair value of $10.2 million. As a result of this transaction, the
Company
realized a gain of approximately $10.1 million, which is equal to
the fair
value of the 4.199% Revenue Interest at the close of business on
May 31, 2013
over the cost basis of the revenue interests in the Horizon
Kinetics related
products transferred to Horizon Kinetics on that date.
Tangible book value advanced for the thirteenth
consecutive year (since inception) to a record $83.37 million
($1.93 per share)
in 2013 vs. $54.26 ($1.39 per share) in 2012. Current assets,
comprised
primarily of cash and equivalents and investments available for
sale, amounted
to $74.84 million. Total liabilities amounted to $12.65 million,
the majority
being current and non-current deferred taxes. The increase in total
liabilities
from the 2012 level of $5.05 million is mainly due to the increase
in current
and non-current deferred tax on the approximately $10.057 million
gain from the
Revenue Interest transaction
Further detail is available in the audited
report of the Company?s Consolidated Financial Statements for the
Year Ended
May 31, 2013, and for contextual content in particular, the 2013
Letter to
Shareholders from Murray Stahl, Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer. These, as
well as the Proxy Statement for the Annual Meeting of Shareholders,
have been
filed on the OTC Markets Group?s Disclosure and News Services
(DNS), which may
be accessed at www.otcmarkets.com/stock/FRMO/filings.
These documents, as
well as research referred to in the Shareholder Letter, are also
available on
the FRMO web site, www.frmocorp.com.
