INNOVOTECH announces an increase in its net profit in 2021

Edmonton– TheNewswire – April 26, 2022. Innovotech Inc. (TSXV:IOT), a pioneer in the field of biofilm product development, is pleased to report net income of $367,130 for the year 2021 on revenues of $1,481,767. Net operating income of $281,135 was increased by an increase of $85,995 in the fair market value (“FMV”) of the Company’s equity ownership underlying its CanBiocin 8% convertible debenture of $150,000, the 120,000 shares of CanBiocin into which the debenture has since been converted (April 14and2022) were determined to have increased in value to $1.75 from their conversion price of $1.25.
For the past three years, the Company has seen its turnover grow at a compound rate of >20% per year. It is gratifying to see this growth supported this year by our investment in CanBiocin, as this company grew revenue by 300% in a profitable 2021 and executed a $1.75 per share financing at the end of the year. These two events combined to cause the FMV of CanBiocin shares held by Innovotech to increase.
