QRS MUSIC TECHNOLOGIES, INC. REPORTS YEAR-END RESULTS
QRS Music Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB: QRSM) announced today record
sales for the year ended June 30, 2005.
Sales for the year ended June 30, 2004, were $20,247,169, an
increase of 9.4% from the year ago period, with net income of $969,432
(available to common shareholders), or $.10 per share fully diluted.
Comparable amounts for the year-ago period ended June 30, 2004, were
total sales of $18,512.717 with net income of $1,334,982 (available to
common shareholders), or $.14 per share fully diluted.
Tom Dolan, President and CEO, said: "The majority of the sales
increase is attributable to an increase in the sales of Pianomation(R)
equipped Story & Clark pianos and Pianomation(R) hardware. The total
cost of sales increased due to the increased sales volume and an
increase in shipping and delivery costs as a result of the rising
transportation costs and increased legal and accounting expenses. In
addition, we had continued expense as we pushed into new international
markets with the completion of our Hong Kong and Australian offices,
the funding of a profit share plan on behalf of the company employees
and an increase in accrued tax expense."
Dolan added: "Also, a majority of the increase in expenses were
directly attributed to or associated with additional Research and
Development and the introductions of our state-of-the-art Petine(TM)
and Ancho(TM) controllers. Research and development expenses increased
102.5% from $338,000 in fiscal 2004 to $684,000 in fiscal 2005 due to
the varying development times of products in development. We are
undertaking several large R&D projects to maintain our leading edge in
technology for the music industry.
"Also, several projects are nearing completion, and we plan to
introduce them during the current fiscal year.
"At the National Association of Music Merchandiser's ("NAMM")
annual convention in January, we introduced the next generation of
user interfaces for the Pianomation(R) player system the Ancho(TM) and
the Petine(TM) that began shipping during the summer. We continue to
focus our resources on our primary marketing philosophy of developing
and manufacturing unique high-margin technology products for
traditional pianos," Dolan added.
The QRS Pianomation(R) system can turn any piano into a
reproducing player piano.
A hardware and software process can store and transport MIDI
("Musical Instrument Digital Interface") information as an analog
signal. This process gives QRS the ability to store, and wirelessly
transmit, MIDI performance data in an analog format from a controller
(CD, video, cassette, DVD, MP3, WMA, CF) to the receiver on the piano.
This creates numerous possibilities. For example, most off-the-shelf
audio equipment has a left and right channel available for use.
State-of-the-art technology permits QRS to store the digital signal in
an analog format on the left channel of the software which operates
those players. This leaves the right channel available for live
prerecorded audio music, even vocal recordings. Pianomation(R) blends
them together in perfect harmony and perfect synchronization. The
Pianomation(R) MIDI System is the first product of its kind to "marry"
analog and digital technology.
QRS Music Technologies, Inc.'s stock is traded Over-The-Counter on
the OTCBB: QRSM.
