Concierge Technologies Reports Fiscal 2020 Financial Results

-Company Files Annual Report Form 10-K with Profitable Results-

SAN CLEMENTE, CA / ACCESSWIRE / September 28, 2020 / Concierge Technologies, Inc. (OTCQB:CNCG), a diversified global holding firm, today announced financial results for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020.

For the year ended June 30, 2020, the company reported revenues of $26.7 million, compared with $26.9 million for the prior year. Concierge reported net income of $1.77 million, equal to $0.05 per fully diluted share, for fiscal 2020, versus $0.3 million, or $.01 per fully diluted share, for the prior year.

Concierge's balance sheet remained strong at fiscal year-end, with $17.6 million in current assets, of which $9.8 million are held in cash and cash equivalents, essentially no debt, and total assets of $24.4 million.

The company said that, as expected, results for its operating subsidiaries in the food service, hair and skin care, and security monitoring businesses lagged somewhat in the 4th quarter of fiscal 2020 due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on a global scale. Despite the 4th quarter slow-down, these businesses all reported profits and near normal operating results. Its financial services business, Wainwright Holdings is the holding company for United States Commodity Funds LLC and USCF Advisers, LLC (together USCF). USCF currently manages ten exchange-traded funds and exchange-traded products that are all listed on the New York Stock Exchange. This year has seen significant inflows into commodity funds, including USCF's, raising assets under management ("AUM") from $2.7 billion in 2019 to near $6 billion as of June 30, 2020. Income to USCF is related to AUM through management fees.

Concierge said each of its other business units-Gourmet Foods, Brigadier Security Systems and Original Sprout-were all deemed essential businesses within their jurisdictions of New Zealand, Canada and California, respectively, in regard to COVID-19 lockdown orders. None of these businesses were shut down for any period of time and each of them adapted as required to meet safety standards and to continue supplying their customers. Each had a different approach: Gourmet Foods began producing more frozen product to supply households; Brigadier Security Systems took on more work in public buildings and commercial spaces than residential; Original Sprout added an online sales channel to market and also began producing hand sanitizer. Each of them employed cost cutting measures enabling them to maintain projected profitability on reduced gross revenues.

"I know I've said this before," commented Nicholas Gerber, Chief Executive Officer of Concierge Technologies. "but the ongoing pandemic has further proven to us that our strategy of creating a diverse, global, holding company is working. Despite entering one of the worst, and most confusing, economic times in recent memory, Concierge continues to be strong and profitable. We're going to keep on doing what we do, building a talented management team around a solid, high quality, platform from which to grow organically or by acquisition of other profitable companies."
