MGM Wireless reports 25% revenue increase and strong pipeline from international operations

October 25th, 2007

South Australian based school communication services leader MGM Wireless Ltd today announced a 25% increase in September quarter revenue over the June quarter, as the first substantial international sales were recorded. As with the corresponding quarter last year, the result includes income from R&D Tax Grant and refund of Export Market Development Grants (EMDG). The company continues to invest in expansion into new territories and expects to embark on the delivery of its whole-of-State school text messaging contract with the Western Australia Department of Training and Education (WA DET) in the current quarter.

Income for the three months amounted to $643,000 with the outlook for the current quarter bolstered by the anticipated start of the WA DET contract, estimated by WA DET to be worth more than $ 960,000 over two years.

The United States office is beginning to gain traction, with a strong pipeline of sales for the messageyou™ software suite that indicates year-end targets will be met or exceeded.

In India, the first trial has met with resounding approval from parents and teachers at St Xavier's High School in Ahmadabad, Northern India. The service was launched at the start of Navratri, a festival that includes nine nights of traditional dancing till the early hours of the morning.

The School Principal reported record attendance, with parents responding positively to the new form of communication from this prestigious school, which is one of a chain of 50 schools in the Ahmadabad region.

During the same period, MGM also announced its world-first SMS question and answer service for parents and schools, 191ASK School News Channel, which has already achieved early sales.

MGM Wireless Executive Chairman Mr Mark Fortunatow said that this increase in international activity coupled with the breakthrough sales in Western Australia and a new, highly scalable product line, would make fundamental changes to the company.

"We have a human resources plan in place to manage the strong growth in both revenue and employee numbers associated with expansion and the introduction of School News Channel, which will be ramped up at the beginning of the new school year in 2008," Mr Fortunatow said.

Mr Fortunatow added that this increase in international activity would also offset downtime usually experience during school closures over the Southern Hemisphere summer.

"Aussie schools may be on holiday, but the US is in the middle of its school year which is traditionally our strong selling season in Australia. In India, our joint venture partner, Roltin Global, has successfully deployed its first trial sites, and is expecting to field an uplift in inquiry, especially from the 50 schools in the Loyola group."

Mr Fortunatow explained that activity in the Australian business drops dramatically in January when schools are closed and is slow in the March quarter as schools are pre-occupied with the start of the school year.

"In the Northern Hemisphere, it is the other way around," Mr Fortunatow said. "We would expect to be fielding the greatest amount of sales inquiry in January, February and March for our leading edge attendance monitoring and student alert systems."
