Phonetime Inc. (TSX VENTURE:PHD)(OTCBB:PHOEF), announced today that in the second quarter of 2007, ended June 30th, it recorded the highest revenue of any single quarter in its 12 year history as sales exceeded $23.0 Million. This was a 371% increase over the same quarter of 2006. In the first six months of 2007, the Company generated $44.4 million in sales, $34.9 million more than in the same period of the prior year, as wholesale services continued its rapid growth from a standing start late in the fourth quarter of 2006. In the first half of 2007, the Company experienced an operating profit of nearly $345,000. Net Profit was adversely affected by the strength of the Canadian Dollar, which contributed to foreign exchange losses as most of the Company's business and bank deposits are kept in $US funds. Together with the increase in non-operating expenses, which were $848,000 higher than in 2006, these losses resulted in a year-to-date loss of $837,000. These non-operating expenses included amortization ($641,000), stock-based compensation ($525,000) totalling $1.17 million which had no impact on cash flow. Phonetime's increase in sales is attributable to the substantial growth of its new wholesale division, Phonetime Network, and the continued growth of the retail revenue from its Call Select subsidiary. In the first half of 2007, Gross Profit Margin was 11.1% vs. 38.2% in the first six months of 2006. This decreased margin was anticipated due to the lower margins generated by the Company's wholesale services. In absolute dollars, Phonetime's Gross Profit of $4.93 million in the six month period represents an increase of 36.8% over its Gross Profit of $3.60 million in the first half of 2006. At the end of the second quarter 2007, the Company's Current Ratio improved relative to the end of 2006, to 1.95:1 from 1.92:1, as the Company continued its practice of closely managing its balance sheet. At the end of Q2 2007, Phonetime had $7.6 million in cash, cash equivalents, short term investments, and current accounts receivable as well as two unused credit facilities of US$3.0 million and CDN$250,000. With these assets and its strong balance sheet, Phonetime is well positioned to continue its expansion from both internally generated growth and acquisitions. Wayne Silver, Phonetime's President & C.E.O. stated, "In the first half of 2007, we generated nearly 70% more revenue than we achieved during the whole previous year. Furthermore, on a pure operations basis, despite all our start up costs, foreign exchange loss and non-cash items, the Company still generated an operating profit. We are proud of the early success of our wholesale programs and we anticipate that our momentum will carry through the balance of this year". The Company also announced it had restated its financial results and MD&A for the first quarter of 2007. The restatement of the results was due to an understatement of Accounts Payable. The financial results and MD&A's for both fiscal quarters can be found on www.sedar.com.
