MGM Wireless reaches record annual revenues of $1.98 million. July 27th, 2006
South Australian based MGM Wireless Ltd announced today that revenue for the June quarter in the Australian and New Zealand business reached $350,000 taking annual revenue to a record $1.98m, highlighted by sales growth to New South Wales schools.
"The pleasing thing for us is that for the current half year, the record annual revenues were achieved entirely from sales to new schools, annual license fees, our share of sales of text messages and communication fees." commented MGM Wireless executive chairman, Mr Mark Fortunatow, "Previous quarters had included revenue from the one-off sales of State licenses to sell our systems. These licenses cover every State excluding ACT and New South Wales, which is currently our fastest growing market."
Approximately 10% of all Australian secondary schools (both Government and Private) now use the messageyou™ solution, a strong achievement given that only three years ago $-$ the concept of School-Parent text messaging was non-existent. The total number of school contracted to using the messageyou™ solution is now 224.
Cummulative Quarterly Revenue

This quarter, the company experienced rapid take-up in New South Wales, particularly in the South-west suburban region of Sydney. Some 24 of the 63 State secondary schools in the region have now purchased messageyou, or 38% of all high schools in the region. This is directly attributable to the strong reputation messageyou has achieved in significantly improving student attendance.
MGM Wireless also registered another milestone when the company handled its three millionth text message on behalf of its Australian and New Zealand client base. "Our text message business is growing rapidly with compound growth rates in sent texts currently running at 30% a month." Mr Fortunatow said.
"Not only are we seeing strong growth in sent text message communication, but we are seeing even stronger growth in parent reply text messages to the schools - a very important indicator of the acceptance of text message commutation by Parents."
"Our focus for the next six months is to continue to develop the Australian market and further increase our market share of secondary schools and colleges. We are also looking to push harder into the private and primary school market, where we are only now discovering latent demand for our attendance monitoring systems.
"At the same time. MGM Wireless will be concentrating efforts to build its US business from scratch in the new US school vear."
"The US school vear is kicking off this month and we aim to establish a beach head by the end of the calendar vear. If we can achieve anything like the growth rates we have enjoyed in Australia over the past three years, we will have quite a business in the US." Mr Fortunatow said.
"Truancy in the US is just as big an issue as in Australia. We expect strong acceptance of our text based solution systems in these trials. Initial results and trends should be available fairly soon after the start of the school year."
Other items of the June quarter include:
- Raising of $372,000 in fresh capital to fast track expansion into the US
- No change in cash holdings from last quarter, but a decrease in 14% from $650,000 to $562,000 for the same period a vear ago
- Receivables of approximately $329,000 (June 2005 otr $ 272,500)
- Total Payables of approximately $308,000 (June 2005 gtr $140,000) $\bullet$
- Solid forward sales pipelines which reflect strong demand for the messagevouTM schools product and the complementary messageyou™watchlists attendance analysis solution
- Growing international interest outside the US in the messageyou solution, reflected in growing inquiry from international education service companies. Truancy is truly a global issue and MGM Wireless, with its suite of attendance improving and monitoring products, is at the forefront of the global technological solution
