MGM Wireless re-aligns operations to drive towards profitability. 31 October 2008
South Australian-based school communications group MGM Wireless Ltd has completed a reorganisation of its business's operations in Australia and the United States during the September quarter with the aim of driving the business towards profitability and maintaining growth.
As a result of the restructuring, the company has reduced its cost base by an estimated $0.9 m to approximately $2.1 m for the year to end-June 2009 through a number of measures including streamlining operations and re-assignment of senior sales operatives. Costs associated with the restructuring were incurred during the September quarter.
Sales for the September quarter amounted to $423,000 as MGM Wireless continued to sign new school contracts in Australia and existing contracts were rolled over. MGM Wireless CEO Mr Fortunatow commented that more school communications systems were deployed under the whole of State contract entered into last year.
During the quarter, a net number of 20 additional schools went live. A further 38 schools that have purchased MGM solutions are yet to go live, as they are in various stages of implementation. These schools are anticipated to become operational over the next 2 quarters. The total number of active schools in Australia and the US at the end of the quarter is 248.
In Western Australia some 80 schools have now been implemented with the number likely to reach 100 by the end of the year. A further 100 schools are scheduled for 2009.
SMS communication traffic continues to grow, with the company experiencing a record month in September of 382, 934 - and the third biggest month on record for August – 365,211.
During the quarter 6 existing US schools renewed their licenses for a further 12 months. The company is re-structuring its US sales model from a direct operation to a reseller channel model, and the company will report on the progress and results on this decision in future statements.

Communication Traffic
The board of MGM Wireless has accepted an offer of a loan from entities related to certain directors amounting to $300,000 at normal commercial terms and rates of interest. These loan funds will be utilized by the company as the company pursues its ordinary course of business activities.
MGM Wireless managing director, Mr Mark Fortunatow, commented today: "These loan funds will facilitate the ongoing growth of the company as we aim towards a breakeven situation for the current year." Currently, receivables totaled approximately $ 380,000, whilst payables were approximately $ 232,000
"We are highly confident that the cost reductions we have put in place will enable the company to head towards profitability while not impacting on the company's ability to grow its school client base in Australia and the US," Mr Fortunatow said.
