Revenues were $7,827,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2004, a decrease of 4% from $8,128,000 in 2003. The revenue decrease was mainly due to lower access revenues from long distance and wireless carriers. Operating income decreased 26% to $1,626,000 compared to $2,184,000 in 2003. Income from the Company's investment in Midwest Wireless Holdings LLC was $615,000 in the 2004 period compared to $245,000 in 2003. Net income was $1,203,000 or $.30 per diluted share in 2004 compared to $1,267,000 or $.33 per diluted share in 2003. Revenues from continuing operations for the 2004 twelve months were $31,570,000, a decrease of 2% from $32,322,000 in 2003. Operating income from continuing operations decreased 12% to $6,982,000 in 2004 from $7,957,000 in 2003. Income from the Company's investment in Midwest Wireless Holdings LLC increased 29% to $2,766,000 in 2004 from $2,148,000 in 2003. The Company recorded gains on sales of cable television systems totaling $1,081,000 ($.12 per diluted share net of income taxes and minority interest) in 2003. Income from continuing operations was $4,644,000 or $1.17 per diluted share in 2004 compared to $4,297,000 or $1.14 per diluted share in 2003. Income from discontinued operations was $882,000 or $.23 per diluted share in 2003. Curtis A. Sampson, chairman and chief executive officer, said, "The Company's operating results continue to reflect the gains the wireless industry is making in competition with wireline carriers. Hector has a significant investment in the wireless industry itself through its 8% ownership interest in Midwest Wireless Holdings. The sharp increase in Midwest Wireless earnings and lower borrowing costs offset the decrease in the Company's operating income in 2004.
