Year of Transition Positions Company for Growth of Wireless Video Monitoring
Business
BOCA RATON, Fla., Sept. 28 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Cenuco, Inc. (AMEX:ICU)
today announced its financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year
ended June 30, 2004.
For the fourth quarter ended June 30, 2004 revenues were $497,000 compared to
$191,000 in the fourth quarter of 2003. The net loss for the fourth quarter was
$2.5 million, or $0.21 per fully diluted share, compared to a net loss of
$828,000, or $0.09 per fully diluted share in the fourth quarter of 2003.
For the year ended June 30, 2004 revenues were $1.5 million compared to $1.6
million for 2003. The net loss for the year ended June 30, 2004 was $3.6
million, or $0.36 per fully diluted share, as compared to a net loss of $1.3
million, or $0.15 per fully diluted share for 2003.
During fiscal 2004 the Company implemented a strategy to expand its wireless
video monitoring business and is now uniquely positioned to provide cellular
carriers a host of video streaming products, which generate an increase in
subscriber adoption of wireless data services, as well as monthly service
revenue for carriers. Cenuco's wireless video monitoring solutions allow users
to view real-time streaming video of security cameras at their home or place of
business from anywhere they receive a cellular connection.
The net loss for 2004 includes one-time costs associated with the listing on
the American Stock Exchange as well as certain expenses associated with
capital-raising activities. Additionally, the net loss includes non-cash
expenses of approximately $2.6 million. Although research and development will
continue in fiscal 2005, the bulk of the costs related to the development,
testing, packaging, and marketing of the wireless products and services were
associated with the Company's 2004 capital expenditures. The Company expects
strong revenue growth and a positive free cash-flow position during fiscal
2005, as cellular based remote viewing products achieve increased market
acceptance and wider distribution. Cenuco is debt free with more than $5
million in cash.
Company milestones in 2004 include:
* An American Stock Exchange listing in May 2004, trading under the symbol: ICU
"I see you."
* Closed on a private placement financing raising net proceeds of approximately
$5.5 million for working capital purposes, with over $7 million available to
the Company through the exercise of warrants.
* Key hires on the management team:
Robert Picow, Chairman, previously with Brightpoint (NASDAQ:CELL).
Jordan Serlin, Chief Operating Officer, previously with United
Kingdom based Tenestra, Ltd.
Doug McMillan, Director of Business Development and Marketing,
previously with IBM (NYSE:IBM) and Tyco (NYSE:TYC).
* Developed partnerships and affiliates including: Intel Corporation,
Microsoft Corporation, Qualcomm, and Tyco.
* Agreed to distribution terms with Cellstar, Infosonics and FCI
Associates, and other integrated distribution companies. They
represent Cenuco's wireless remote monitoring products and services.
Steven Bettinger, President and CEO, commented, "The results for the year are
best seen against the background of the milestones we have achieved. We have
great expectations for fiscal 2005 and are pleased that the accomplishments in
2004 resulted in a strong foundation for future success. We will continue to
sell our products in many vertical markets, as the market for wireless
technologies is developing. Our plan calls for us to build subscription base
revenue streams for various industries and develop niche vertical markets for
our wireless solutions. We intend to pursue marketing opportunities which
allow us to develop the market presence needed to support sales goals and to
attract developers of new products and services. Cenuco will maintain and
strengthen strategic relationships with suppliers and customers as we focus on
providing a quality product and support after the sale."
The Company previously announced it intends to divest its online education and
distance learning business. The divestiture is expected to be completed in
the second quarter of fiscal 2005. Proceeds from the divestiture will be used
to fund the growth of the wireless video monitoring business.
