SIOUX FALLS, SD, United States, via eTeligis Inc., 05/27/2014 - - Verity Corp (OTCQB: VRTY) (BERLIN: A2Q) (http://www.veritycorp.com), a vertically integrated sustainable agriculture company incorporating natural production technologies and non-GMO standards for the efficient production of healthy food, filed its 10-Q for the second quarter ended March 31, 2014.

 

Consolidated revenues were $366,598 and $690,897 for the three and six months ended March 31, 2014, as compared to $586,665 and $682,786 for the three and six months ended March 31, 2013.

The increase in gross margin is directly related to a concentration of higher margin items being sold during the year and lower margin items being eliminated in 2014.

 

Operating Expenses decreased $381,286 or 52% during the three months ended March 31, 2014 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2013 and $172,775 or 16% for the six months ended March 31, 2014 as compared to the six months ended March 31, 2013.

Verity is concentrating on increasing revenues at a profitable margin to cover operating expenses in the future.

 

On May 16, 2014, Verity terminated two contracts for deed that related to land and buildings in South Dakota and Georgia. The terminations removed $2,900,000 in long term debt along with the transfer of land and buildings back to Duane Spader. $232,000 of accrued interest was also eliminated with the termination of the contracts for deed. Total liabilities have been reduced by approximately $3,132,000

 

Richard Kamolvathin, President and CEO of Verity Corp, said, "We had three corporate goals to reach in the immediate term. Our management team identified that we needed to dramatically improve our balance sheet, introduce more proprietary products and build a foundation to scale our business. We have met all three goals. Long term debt has been reduced significantly. Our new proprietary products are generating new business. And our ability to ramp up revenues has been improved."

 

Kamolvathin noted, "We are particularly pleased to see that our shift to more proprietary products has resulted in a significant increase in gross profit margins." 

 

"Verity has the technology and expertise to provide farmers with a comprehensive program to move to non-GMO food production. The market opportunity is there and we are well positioned to capitalize on consumers' and farmers' interest in healthy food," Kalmolvathin concluded.
