Optex Systems Holdings Inc. reported unaudited consolidated earnings results for the fourth quarter and year ended January 1, 2012. For the quarter, the company reported revenues of $4,270,000 against $4,984,000 for the same period last year. The decline in revenue is primarily due to completion of two of the company's Howitzer programs in fiscal year 2011 with no current follow-on contracts, combined with an overall downturn in government defense spending. Operating income was $26,000 against $103,000 for the same period last year. Income before taxes was $16,000 against $80,000 for the same period last year. Net loss after taxes was $49,000 against net income after taxes of $51,000 for the same period last year. Net loss applicable to common shareholders was $156,000 or $0.00 per basic and diluted share against $50,000 or $0.00 per basic and diluted share for the same period last year. The increased loss is primarily due to a $0.1 million increase in general and administrative costs in the current year over prior year levels, primarily related to product development. The company provided guidance on general and administrative costs for the year 2012. The company expects the increased general and administrative costs to continue throughout fiscal year 2012 with an overall increase of approximately 20% over the prior year level.
