BluMetric announces profitable first quarter 2013

OTTAWA, Jan. 29, 2013 /CNW/ - BluMetric Environmental Inc. (TSXV: BLM) ("BluMetric" or the "Company") announces its unaudited financial results for the interim period ended November 30, 2012 On November 6, 2012, Seprotech Systems Incorporated (Seprotech) filed articles of amendment to change its name to BluMetric, and on November 16, 2012, the Company completed a reverse takeover transaction with WESA Group Inc. ("WESA"). In accordance with financial reporting requirements, the following reflects WESA results for the interim period ended November 30, 2012, together with the former Seprotech's results from November 16-30, 2012.

As noted above, results for the interim period ended November 30, 2012 reflected consolidation of Seprotech results for the period November 17 - 30, 2012 only. The prior period reflects WESA alone, so results are not directly comparable with the prior year. Revenues were slightly lower than for the same period in 2011; however gross margins were higher for the 2012 period. A significant portion of the operating expenses ($133K) incurred in the quarter ended November 30, 2012 reflects non-recurring transaction costs related to the previously reported reverse takeover.

"Given the significant management focus on getting the RTO closed during last autumn, we are pleased with the results.  We're well into the integration now, and operations are coming together extremely well." said BluMetric CEO William Touzel
