NEW YORK – Bexil Corporation (AMEX: BXL) today reported its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2006.
Revenue. Revenue increased approximately $497,000 and $951,000 for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2006, respectively, compared to 2005 mainly due to an increase in dividend and interest income. Cash balances increased over the same period due to the proceeds from the sale of York on April 28, 2006 and to dividends received from York in 2005.
Expenses. Total expenses increased approximately $36,000 and $293,000 for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2006, respectively, compared to 2005.
Compensation and benefits increased approximately $66,000 and $206,000 for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2006, respectively, compared to 2005. The Company recognized approximately $26,000 and $93,000 in compensation expense for unvested stock options due to the adoption of SFAS 123(R) for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2006, respectively. Compensation also increased due to an increase in jointly used administrative and support functions incurred by Winco and allocated to the Company.
Professional expenses decreased approximately $49,000 and increased approximately $81,000 for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2006, respectively compared to 2005. The variances are attributable to the timing of expenses incurred leading up to the York sale transaction partially offset by lower audit and legal expenses in 2006 compared to 2005.
Business Overview. The Company is seeking to acquire and/or develop one or more businesses. There are no limits on the types of businesses or fields in which the Company may devote its assets. No businesses to acquire or develop have been identified by the Company at this time. We have no plans to dissolve and liquidate the Company. We may decide to use most of the proceeds from the sale to start up and develop a business or to explore other alternatives, such as an acquisition of, or business combination with, another entity or entities. At this time our Board of Directors has not made any decision to pursue any of these options.
On May 2, 2006, Bexil announced its business acquisition parameters. See www.bexil.com .
Net income. Net income was $21,804,524 or $23.69 per share on a diluted basis for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, compared to net income of $1,429,617 or $1.63 per share on a diluted basis for the nine months ended September 30, 2005.
