Revenue for the three months ending June 30, 2010 increased to $8.16 million, compared to $6.20 million in the comparable period in fiscal 2009 and compared to $6.51 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2010.

Revenues from the Canadian divisions represented 74% of the revenues for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010, as compared to 35% during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009,” stated John Versfelt, President and CEO of Cabo. “Revenue for the year ending June 30, 2010 decreased $12.17 million or 30% to $28.99 million, compared to $41.16 million in fiscal 2009; however $28.44 million of fiscal 2009’s gross revenue was earned in the first half of the year prior to December 31, 2008.

The primary reasons for the decrease in fiscal 2010 revenue are, the reduced international activity, as our contracts in Spain and Albania were completed in the third quarter of fiscal 2009, lower drill utilization in Panama during fiscal 2010 compared to fiscal 2009, and continued low demand in Mexico.
