Revenue
Growth – During fiscal 2007 American Telecom was able to grow gross
revenues to approximately $25.2 million compared to approximately
$3.3
million as of the end of the last fiscal
year.
|
|
·
|
Net
revenues for fiscal 2007,
which recognized rebates, other promotional allowances, returns
and a the
additional provision for a reserve for sales returns (due to a
refinement in the promotional programs) in accordance with GAAP,
were
$14.0 million, up 350% compared to fiscal 2006 net revenue
of $2.9
million.
|
|
·
|
Retail
Penetration - As of the end of the fiscal year, the company’s products
were available in approximately 25,000 stores up from 9,500 stores
at the
beginning of the year. American Telecom’s products are now carried by some
of the most important “e-tailers” and “brick and mortar” retailers in the
country.
|
|
·
|
Focus
on Recurring Revenue - In April, the company augmented its senior
management team and implemented several programs to specifically
improve
the efficiency of its activation process and to increase the conversion
into paid users of those people activating the promotional
service. In the past few months, the company has made
significant strides toward converting those people activating the
promotional service into paid
users.
|
|
·
|
Substantial
Improvements in Promotional/Rebates Expenses - The Company has
refined its
rebate policies, tying most programs to activations and in many
cases to
the customer actually providing credit card information and making
a
service purchase. These changes have begun to pay off in
significantly lower rebate and promotional expenses with the promotional
expense ratio to sales falling to 27.3% in Q4 compared to 31.6%
in
Q3. The company expects this ratio to continue to show
improvement over the coming quarters due to these ongoing efforts
and due
to many of the newer retail relationships the company has established
that
do not use rebate programs to
promote.
|
|
·
|
Standard
Gross Margin - The Company has ended the fiscal year with a standard
gross
margin at 27%. During the fiscal period 2008 there will be a significant
effort to increase gross margins. The company contemplates
negotiating agreements with its manufacturers to incorporate a
recently designed integrated circuit (chipset) into most of the
company's
handsets over time. If such agreements are successfully consummated,
the
company believes that these chipsets will reduce its costs and
improve production lead times.
