VersaCOM International, Inc. ("VERC" on OTC-BB)
VERSACOM IS A PROFITABLE & RAPIDLY-GROWING COMPANY
VersaCom International, Inc. ("VERC" on OTC-BB) is a full-service provider of telecommunications systems, data networks and related services throughout the United States, offering customers a single source solution for all their voice and data communication requirements (complete details on VersaCOM's products and services can be found at the Company's website: www.VersacomInc.com).
TheSUBWAY.com just released an Investment Opinion on VersaCOM International, Inc. (see: thesubway.stockpoint.com =20010412\102b7869.xml&Symbol). Their report states that: "VERC is new to TheSUBWAY.com, and we are expecting great things to come from the company. With only 14 million shares out and not much more than 6.5 in the float, the stock should move quickly, and a forward split is not out of the question in the future. CRG feels that VERC will be trading over the $5.00 mark in the short term with a 6-12 month target of $12." TheSUBWAY.com also released a positive report on AB Watley Group Inc. (NASDAQ:ABWG) on April 4, 2001. Since then, ABWG traded at record volumes and soared almost 100% from about $5 to $9.
VersaCom recently announced that it was selected as the first company in the United States to enter into a Master Distributor Agreement with Telrad Networks, a major manufacturer of telecommunications equipment with worldwide sales in excess of $500 million. The Telrad agreement represents about $6.5 million in current (2001) business; VERC expects to earn a 25% margin on these sales.
Although VersaCOM primarily markets, installs and supports Telrad Networks' telecommunications product line, the Company also provides various voice and data networking equipment from other leading manufacturers such as Lucent, Cisco, Valcom, and others.
VersaCOM's revenues in its first full year of operations (2000) were in excess of $3 million, with profits (before one time expenses) of $700,000. Over the last 12 months, VersaCOM's customers have included both large and small companies from a wide variety of industries such as Rexall Sundown, The Check Cashing Stores, PrimeSource Financial, American Association of Airports, Suburban Hospital and ByeByeNow Travel
This year, VersaCOM estimates that it will earn a gross profit of $7.62 million (about 53 cents per share) from sales of $18.09 million
VersaCOM has projected (conservatively) that by 2003 it will be generating revenues of $100 million and approximately $25 million in profits (EBTDA). With a successful and profitable business, at some point over the next several years the possibility exists that VersaCOM will be purchased or merge with a larger competitor.
VERSACOM HAS ENTERED INTO AN EXCLUSIVE DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENT WITH TELRAD NETWORKS, A TELECOM EQUIPMENT MANUFACTURER DOING $500 MILLION IN SALES
VersaCOM is the first company in the United States to enter into a Master Distributor Agreement with Telrad Networks, a leading supplier of telephony equipment (http://biz.yahoo/com/bw/010410/2007.html). The agreement enables VersaCOM to sell and service the full range of Telrad's state-of-the-art switches, PABX and telephone systems.
VersaCOM will provide Telrad products, technical support, and marketing and sales support to Telrad's ``Service-Only Dealer'' base in the eastern U.S. These Telrad Dealers currently generate sales of approximately $6.5 million upon which VersaCOM expects a 25 percent profit. VersaCOM is actively recruiting other telecommunications equipment dealers to distribute Telrad's product line.
Telrad Networks (www.Telrad.com/telrad.html) has over 30,000 customers worldwide, and offers a wide range of telecommunications products and services (www.telrad.com/t_busol.html). Telrad is owned by Koor Industries (NYSE:KOR - news), Israel's largest industrial company.
REASONS WHY THE TELRAD DEAL IS SO IMPORTANT TO VERSACOM'S FUTURE.
VersaCOM is now able to purchase telecom equipment from Telrad at significant discounts - in fact, VERC receives a larger than does Nortel.
Compared to Nortel, VersaCOM has relatively low overhead. We believe that VersaCOM can install telephone and computer systems for 10% to 15% less than Nortel, while providing part-time Microsoft Certified Systems Engineers (MCSE) to the client for about 50% less than Nortel can do the same installation for.
Nortel is VersaCOM's main competitor, so the fact that VersaCOM can buy equipment cheaper and has significantly lower overhead costs would lead one to the conclusion that VersaCOM could significantly underbid Nortel on just about any contract. Another key point is that VersaCOM gets a two year warranty on all telecommunications equipment purchased from Telrad, whereas Nortel only gets one year of coverage.
As VersaCOM gears up its sales and marketing efforts, we expect that these competitive advantages will result in significant sales and profits accruing to VERC's accounts.
VERSACOM HAS ALSO ENTERED INTO A PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT WITH BELL SOUTH
VersaCOM recently signed a partnership agreement with BellSouth Corp. (NYSE:BLS - news) to become a BellSouth Business Partner (see: biz.yahoo and biz.yahoo.
Now, when VersaCOM sells and installs a voice network or data network system at a client's facilities, as a BellSouth Business Partner, VERC can also sell local and long distance services as well as broadband services (DSL, T1, etc.) provided by BellSouth. VersaCOM will earn monthly residual income from customer usage through BellSouth.
BellSouth serves most of the business and residential users in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee with one of the most modern telecommunications network in the world.
