"MGM is pleased to report the momentum of previous quarter's solid Q3 results has continued into the June quarter," said Mark Fortunatow, Chairman and CEO of MGM Wireless.
During the quarter, the company took steps and to ensure its infrastructure and product response times continued to perform well. While the performance for the quarter has resulted in rising sales, school customers and cash on hand at the end of the quarter, the company is committed to driving the business harder and further expanding our already market leading position in the Australian Education market.
Significant numbers of additional school customers purchased the company's service this quarter, the New Zealand Government contract was announced in May and the company advanced plans for the rollout of a micro billing technology into the US market later this year. The company

also continued the development of a new Parent Contact Portal technology.
During the quarter MGM decided it was necessary to upgrade its systems to cater for the real possibility of servicing 1,000 schools in the next 12-18 months. This year, in addition to seasonal factors, the roll-out in one of MGM Government Contracts almost ground to a halt due to routine state-wide computer Standard Operating System (SOE) upgrades which involved operating system upgrades to every computer in the state. The SOE upgrade is now largely complete, and the company expects uptake of new schools in this region to revert to previous levels moving forward.
As such, during the quarter, MGM purchased and installed a Hewlett Packard DL370 G6 server with a Smart Array subsystem server to assist running key components of its infrastructure and systems. This server is currently one of the most powerful computers manufactured. The company considers this upgrade should ensure MGM's infrastructure continues to perform well for the next 12 – 24 months. Existing servers were re-configured to handle more capacity and in addition, the company upgraded underlying database and operating systems to the latest 64 bit technology – all resulting in further speed and performance improvements. Despite these challenges, MGM achieved good trading results, supported by continued growth in both SMS message communication and the ongoing growth in annual license fee income from a growing client base – which represents $ 2.7 million in forward income is not reflected in the company's accounts, under current accounting standards.
The cost of this new equipment and associated services was approximately $ 35,000, which the company financed, with a resulting security charge being registered with ASIC specifically to the new equipment only. As previously announced, the company continues to actively work on R&D to roll-out new products and services, which it plans to introduce both into the existing Customer base as well as New Customers. "We are very excited about these new technologies, and we are confident they will support MGM to grow and scale our business faster – an outcome the Board and Management are very focused on", said Mark Fortunatow.
The attached chart shows the growth in text traffic which is now handled by the upgraded server facility.
During the quarter, the company also carried out Customer satisfaction surveys and interviews in order to ensure schools are receiving high value and also to identify any new requirements and potential new trends. The surveys supported MGM internal traffic and school growth data showing SMS communication continues to grow as an important communication channel between Schools and Parents, and the company's attendance solutions in particular are a recognised solution to improve student attendance.
New Customer quotes and testimonials are attached.

Customer Quotes from recent MGM Customer Satisfaction Survey
The following is a sample of quotations from School Principals and Teaching staff from the following schools: Elizabeth Murdoch College (VIC), Modbury High School (SA), Sienna College (VIC), Latrobe High School (TAS).
"Using MGM SMS systems is a far superior system for contacting parents – particularly compared to phoning the parents."
"Parents say it's a great idea and were thankful for it. The few parents who did not appreciate it were the parents of students who were regularly come late to school, but this holds them accountable for getting their children to school on time"
"School Staff like the MGM SMS system because it puts responsibility onto the parents."
"Using SMS has streamlined the Parent communication process - it does not take as much time and the accuracy of our attendance records are therefore better than they were before."
"We chose MGM because of its reputation and the range of schools that it was already servicing."
"The amount of children that are late has decreased, and of course the accuracy [of attendance records], they still be away ill or doctor's appointments, but at least we have a reason- we don't have as many unexplained absences as we did before."
"We understand that attendance is really important to [student] achievement so we looked at this system as a way of firstly improving our attendance, which was pretty good anyway, and secondly keeping parents in the loop."
"MGM has without question improved engagement with your parent community."
"After a fire in the tech studies area we were able to get a message out in no time saying there was a fire and everyone is safe and lesson will be resuming."
"We got lots of positive replies back from parents."
"The introduction of MGM Watchlists has been a really useful tool for all levels of teachers, it gives homeroom teachers a heads up, and it gives year level managers an overview which they wouldn't have otherwise had."
"It has definitely improved the engagement with the parent community."
