Help with Functions and Value returns

Code:
mon_yy=${1}
date_found=`find_end_day $mon_yy`
export_dealer_changes ${date_found}

Hello
I am trying to pull a formatted date back from the function find_end_day and pass it into the function export_dealer_changes. When I try the above the variable date_found is empty. I have tried various different syntax and it still doesn't work, please can anyone advise what I am doing wrong. If I run either function separately they work, it is the passing of the result from one to the other that I can not get to work.

Many thanks

Myf
