("Bird"), (formerly Bird Construction Income Fund prior to its conversion to a corporate structure effective January 1, 2011) announced its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2011. Tim Talbott, President and C.E.O. of Bird stated that "2011 first quarter income was lower than that achieved in 2010, primarily as a result of lower gross profit margins. The Company began to experience the impact of lower margins in the last half of 2010 and as anticipated, the current quarter results reflect a continuation of a very competitive market resulting from recent economic conditions. In addition, results reported in 2011 were further negatively affected by income tax changes which resulted in Bird's income being fully subject to corporate taxation in 2011. Bird has a strong Backlog and we remain optimistic that the Company will benefit from the increased activity in northern Alberta. In addition, we are considering strategic initiatives that we believe will provide increased shareholder value in the future".\n\n\n >\n\n\nBird Construction Inc. further announced that its Board of Directors declared a regular monthly dividend of $0.055 per common share to shareholders of record on July 29, 2011 payable on August 19, 2011.\nThis press release contains forward-looking statements that involve a number of risks and uncertainties bec...
