Surgical-device maker reports loss for fiscal year

BOULDER – Total revenue decreased year-over-year at Encision Inc. (ECIA: PK), a Boulder-based manufacturer of surgical devices, according to the company’s annual report, filed in late June.

For fiscal 2014, the company reported a net operating loss of $1.7 million, compared with a net loss of $615,673 the year before.

Part of the company’s losses can be attributed to a product impairment cost of $1.1 million in the fourth quarter related to the company’s decision to discontinue two products.  

The company also held more assets in fiscal 2014, with $6.2 million in total assets, compared with $5.9 million in 2013.The biggest jump came in the cash and cash equivalents, which increased from $126,224 in fiscal 2013 to $1.6 million in fiscal 2014.
