Colonial Commercial Corp. Reports 2010 Fourth Quarter and Year-End Results
 
HAWTHORNE, New Jersey (March 24, 2011) – Colonial Commercial Corp. (“Colonial”) (Common Stock: CCOM.PK; Convertible Preferred Stock: CCOMP.PK) today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2010.
 
Fourth Quarter Results
 
Sales were $20,653,934 for the quarter ended December 31, 2010 compared to $20,503,046 for the same period in 2009.
 
Gross profit increased by 5.2%, or $284,829, to $5,722,373 for the fourth quarter from $5,437,544 for the same period in 2009. Gross profit expressed as a percentage of sales increased to 27.7% for the fourth quarter from 26.5% for the same period in 2009. The increase in gross profit expressed as a percentage of sales was mostly related to improved implementation of purchasing programs.
 
Selling, general and administrative expense declined by 6.0%, or $339,407, to $5,279,167 for the fourth quarter from $5,618,574 for the same period in 2009. The decrease in selling, general and administrative expense is primarily related to a general reduction in various operating expenses.
 
The Company’s net income was $262,846, for the fourth quarter compared to a net loss of $1,157,597 for the same period in 2009. The increase in net income is the result of a reduction of general operating expenses and the elimination of $741,204 in non-recurring non-cash charges which occurred in the fourth quarter of 2009.
 
Year-End Results
 
Sales increased by 2.5%, or $1,971,727, to $80,056,230 for the year ended December 31, 2010 from $78,084,503 for the same period in 2009.
 
Gross profit increased by 3.5%, or $730,108, to $21,564,727 for the year ended December 31, 2010 from $20,834,619 for the same period in 2009.  The increase in gross profit is the result of the re-opening of our Hicksville, New York location, the expansion of our commercial HVAC products business and the increase in margins gained through the sale of high-efficiency heating and air conditioning equipment. Gross profit expressed as a percentage of sales was 26.9% in 2010 compared to 26.7% for the comparable period in 2009.
 
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by 6.0%, or $1,315,667, to $20,786,019 for the year ended December 31, 2010 from $22,101,686 for the same period in 2009. The decrease in selling, general and administrative expense is primarily related to a $420,276 reduction in rent and facility expenses, a $271,322 reduction in payroll and benefit costs, an $84,543 reduction in depreciation and amortization, and the elimination of $273,023 in non-recurring tender offer expenses.
 
The Company’s net income was $106,398 for the year ended December 31, 2010 compared to a net loss of $3,343,696 for the same period in 2009.  The increase in net income is substantially the result of the $730,108 increase in gross profit, the $1,315,667 decrease in selling, general and administrative expense, and the elimination of $1,521,104 in non-recurring non-cash charges.
 
William Salek, Chief Financial Officer of the Company, said, “We are pleased that we have been able to produce our fourth consecutive quarter showing improved earnings. We could not have achieved these results without the commitment and dedication of our employees, customers and vendors.”
