Highlights

Second Quarter Fiscal 2012 (unless otherwise noted, all comparisons are to the
second quarter of fiscal 2011):




--  Net loss(1) amounted to $2.1 million or $0.10 per share compared to a
    net loss(1)of $2.5 million or $0.11 per
    share last year. Excluding the results of our first quarter acquisition,
    Velan ABV ("ABV"), the related effects of purchase price accounting and
    currency impacts, the Company would have reported a net loss(1)of $0.5
    million or $0.02 per share in the current quarter compared to a net
    loss(1) of $2.6 million or $0.12 per share last year. 
    
    
--  Net new orders received ("bookings") amounted to $172.1 million, an
    increase of $74.3 million or 76.0% compared to last year. Excluding ABV
    and currency impacts, the increase was $47.6 million or 48.7%. The
    Company booked a significant amount of project orders which it believes
    may be indicative of a strengthening in its key end user markets. The
    Company ended the second quarter with a record backlog of $676.9
    million; $638.1 million excluding ABV. 
    
    
--  Sales amounted to $95.4 million, an increase of $17.0 million or 21.7%.
    Excluding ABV and currency impacts, sales increased $8.5 million or
    10.8%. 
    
    
--  Gross margin decreased by 1.5% from 18.0% to 16.5%. Excluding ABV, the
    effects of purchase price accounting and currency impacts, gross margin
    would have decreased by 0.2% over last year. 
    



(1) Net earnings or loss refers to net income or loss attributable to
Subordinate and Multiple Voting Shares.




--  The Company used net cash(1) from operations of $12.8 million. This use
    of net cash(1) is primarily attributable to increased inventory
    purchases required to service the growing backlog. The Company's backlog
    increased by 33.9% and 16.4% when compared to August 2010 and February
    2011, respectively. The Company ended the second quarter with net
    cash(1) of $49.6 million. 
    
    
--  Based on average exchange rates, the U.S. dollar weakened 6.6% against
    the Canadian dollar when compared to the same period last year. This
    weakening resulted in the Company`s Canadian dollar expenses being
    reported as higher U.S. dollar amounts in the current quarter. 
    



Half year fiscal 2012 (unless otherwise noted, all comparisons are to the second
quarter of fiscal 2011):




--  Net loss(2) amounted to $2.0 million or $0.09 per share compared to net
    earnings(2) of $2.2 million or $0.10
    per share last year. Excluding ABV, the effects of purchase price
    accounting and currency impacts, the Company would have reported net
    earnings(2) of $1.0 million or $0.04 per share this year compared to a
    net loss(2) of $0.7 million or $0.03 per share last year. 
    
    
--  Bookings amounted to $308.9 million, an increase of $143.1 million or
    86.3% compared to last year. Excluding ABV and currency impacts, the
    increase would have been $94.6 million or 57.1%. 
    
    
--  Sales amounted to $200.4 million, an increase of $32.4 million or 19.3%.
    Excluding ABV and currency impacts, sales increased $17.7 million or
    10.5%. 
    
    
--  Gross margin decreased by 4.4% from 22.8% to 18.4%. Excluding ABV, the
    effects of purchase price accounting and currency impacts, gross margin
    would have decreased by 0.6%. 
    
    
--  The Company used net cash(1) from operations of $14.3 million. This use
    of net cash(1)is primarily attributable to increased inventory purchases
    required to service the growing backlog. 
    
    
--  Based on average exchange rates, the U.S. dollar weakened 6.0% against
    the Canadian dollar when compared to the same period last year. This
    weakening resulted in the Company`s Canadian dollar expenses being
    reported as higher U.S. dollar amounts in the current year. 
    



"Despite improving second quarter sales revenues, bookings and backlog, we had a
net loss(2)of US$2.1 million," said Tom Velan, President and CEO of Velan Inc.
"however, adjusting for ABV, the effects of purchase price accounting for the
acquisition and currency impacts, we would have reported a net loss(2)of US$0.5
million compared to an adjusted loss of $2.6 million last year."


"Faced with significant material cost increases, we have been raising our
selling prices. For some of our product lines we still face lower margins due to
higher material costs. We aim to improve the margin by increasing volume as well
as continuing to make selective price increases to cover cost increases."


"Administration costs increased significantly this quarter as our legal and
other costs associated with our on-going asbestos legal proceedings increased
from $2.2 million to $2.7 million. Similar to some other U.S. valve
manufacturers, two of our U.S. subsidiaries have been named as defendants in a
number of pending lawsuits brought on behalf of individuals seeking to recover
damages for their alleged asbestos exposure. These lawsuits are related to
products manufactured and sold many years ago. We strongly believe that our
products, which were supplied with encapsulated asbestos packing and gaskets in
accordance with valve industry practice and customer mandated specifications,
did not contribute to any asbestos-related sicknesses. We will continue to
vigorously defend against these claims but, given the ongoing course of asbestos
litigation in the U.S. and the unpredictability of jury trials, it is not
possible to make an estimate of our legal and other costs related to these
claims."

(2) Net earnings or loss refers to net income or loss attributable to
Subordinate and Multiple Voting Shares.


"ABV had a soft quarter due to the impact of resources devoted to opening a new
plant and the acquisition and subsequent integration work. We expect improving
results going forward and continue to view this acquisition as a great
opportunity to help grow our sales and earnings over the coming years."


"We had strong order bookings of $172.1 million, an increase of 76% compared to
last year. Adjusting for ABV and currency impacts, the increase would be 48.7%.
We have had a large increase in project order bookings and we continue to see
strength in our key markets both in quotation activity and bookings."


"Excluding ABV, our backlog increased by $90.1 million or 16.4% since the
beginning of the fiscal year," said John Ball, CFO of Velan Inc. "We needed to
increase our inventory purchases in order to service our backlog which is now
the highest in the history of Velan at $676.9 million. The increased purchases
resulted in net cash(1) of $12.8 million being used this quarter in operating
activities. Despite the increased purchases, we ended the quarter with net
cash(1) of $49.6 million."


"While our key end-user markets are showing signs of strengthening, we continue
to monitor the risk of another sharp downturn in the economy. Persistent
stagnation in Europe, renewed weakness in the U.S. and concerns about the
stability of the Euro caused by the economic problems in Greece and elsewhere
are some of the factors we are closely monitoring. With a record order backlog
of $676.9 million, virtually no debt, $190.2 million in unused credit lines and
net cash(1) of $49.6 million, we feel we have maintained a balance sheet solid
enough to weather another economic downturn should one occur."


Tom Velan concluded, "We are encouraged by the positive trend in bookings,
backlog and sales. We are continuing to take measures to broaden our product
offering, to improve our cost competitiveness, and to strengthen our presence in
international markets in order to improve our long-term performance and increase
the value of our company. In the shorter term, we are focused on improved
execution of our large project order backlog to increase sales and improve
earnings."


Dividend
