Matthews Cremation, a division of Matthews International Corporation (NASDAQ:MATW), is the global leader in cremator sales, emission filtration, parts/supplies, memorial products, service and repair. Meeting world standards such as Underwriters Laboratory (UL), Canadian Standards Association (CSA) and European Conformity (CE), the leadership of Matthews Cremation extends to "Cremation Green" technology aimed at environmentally-driven solutions.



“Today, we live in a world that encourages us to protect and preserve our natural resources and lower our carbon footprints by reducing greenhouse gases,” says Steven P. Schaal, Matthews Cremation President, North American Region. “Bio Cremation from Matthews gives individuals and families another choice at the end of life’s journey—allowing them to honor a legacy created on earth with a final gesture to preserve it.”

Matthews Cremation announces the launch of its Bio Cremation™ technology to offer families an environmentally focused end of life cremation option. Bio Cremation, also known as Alkali Hydrolysis, replaces the use of flame with the use of water. The sterile Bio Cremation process prevents the release of emissions (carbon monoxide, particulates, mercury) into the atmosphere and helps protect the earth’s natural resources. This water-based technology provides a gentle, clean cremation process that preserves the dignity of the deceased while reducing carbon emissions by over 75%.

The human body is placed into a specially designed cremation chamber where water is added, heated and gently circulated over the body, initiating the cremation process. The end results are bones that are processed and returned to the family in an urn for memorialization. Alkali Hydrolysis is a proven technology, but only recently introduced into funeral service as an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional flame cremation. Alkali Hydrolysis uses 95% water and 5% potassium hydroxide (KOH). KOH is an alkali (not acid), inorganic compound that is used in numerous health and beauty cosmetics, soft soaps and cleaning supplies you would commonly find at home.

Landec Corporation Reports First Quarter Fiscal Year 2012 Results






Landec Corporation (Nasdaq:LNDC), reported results for the first quarter of fiscal year 2012 ended August 28, 2011. Revenues for the first quarter of fiscal year 2012 increased 13% to $73.3 million compared to revenues of $65.0 million for the first quarter a year ago. Net income was $1.8 million or $0.07 per share in the first quarter of fiscal year 2012 compared to $2.3 million or $0.09 per share for the first quarter of last year.

Revenues increased $8.3 million during the first quarter of fiscal year 2012 compared to the first quarter of fiscal year 2011 primarily due to a $3.2 million increase in value-added fresh-cut vegetable revenues at Apio Inc., Landec’s food subsidiary, primarily driven by the growth of the overall produce category and new product introductions and a $4.9 million increase in Apio export revenues due to greater availability of fruit to export.

Gary Steele, Landec Chairman and CEO, commented, “We had a productive first quarter, achieving revenue growth of 13% and cash flow from operations of $4.4 million, which is the same amount of operating cash generated in the first quarter last year. While net income was lower during the first quarter this year compared to the same quarter last year, we exceeded our internal plan for the quarter. We are tracking well towards meeting or exceeding our financial guidance for fiscal year 2012 of 5% or better revenue growth and 30% to 40% net income growth after adding back the one-time impairment charge of $4.8 million to net income for fiscal year 2011.”
