(COMTEX) B: GO ONLINE NETWORKS CORP - $1.39 Million in Revenues for F B: GO ONLINE NETWORKS CORP - $1.39 Million in Revenues for FY 2000; 15 Times Revenue Increase - From Prior Year Springboards Sales for 2001 New York, New York, Feb 26, 2001 (Market News Publishing via COMTEX) -- Joseph Naughton, chairman of Go Online Networks Corp. reported preliminary revenue figures for fiscal year 2000 of $1.39 million. A 1,500 percent increase from the previous year's revenue numbers. The 3rd and 4th quarter of 2000 are projected to account for over $1 million of that total, primarily as a result from the Oct. 1, 2000 acquisition and closing of Digital West Marketing Services. The majority of Digital West's revenue is based upon refurbishing personal computers (PCs), monitors, and laptops made by industry leading manufacturers such as Compaq (NYSE:CPQ), Toshiba, Hewlett-Packard Co. (NYSE:HWP), E-Machines (Nasdaq:EEEE), and Micron Electronics Inc.(Nasdaq:MUEI). Upon completing the refurbishing process, in accordance with manufacturer specifications, the products are then offered for sale to the secondary markets including dealers, wholesalers, distributors, and end users. "Our increased revenue stream began to kick-in during the second half of 2000. As previously stated, our Oct. 1, 2000 closing of the Digital West Computer Services division has substantially contributed to our revenue increase," stated Naughton. "We anticipate announcing revenue projections for 2001 in the near future. Our sales have been extremely strong for the first six weeks of 2001 as Digital West expands its supplier and customer base. Additional expansion of our network is under negotiations on numerous fronts. These areas of growth include growing our core personal computer and laptop business as well as adding new refurbishing technology in Pesonal Digital Assistant's (PDA), PDA modules, and digital cameras," he concluded.
