IBUI - Internet Business's International Inc. Second Quarter Results With a 1,210% increase of Revenues and Return to Profitability LAS VEGAS, Feb 20, 2001 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Internet Business's International Inc. (OTCBB:IBUI) reported revenues for its second quarter ended Dec. 31, 2000 of $6,539,850 and net income of $129,623, compared with revenues of $540,102 and net income of $21,686 for the year-earlier period. This is an increase of revenues of 1,210%. Each of the company's divisions reported solid sequential revenue growth, led by the ISP Division, which reported operating income of $257,676 for the first six months of the fiscal year. "We are pleased that we were able to return to profitability sooner than we had anticipated," said Albert Reda, IBUI CEO. "These results do not reflect the strong growth that we have seen in our online lending business or several acquisitions that we believe we are close to completing. "We are currently generating in excess of $10 million of funded real estate loans per month in our lending-on-line business due to the strong demand for refinancing. We anticipate that this trend will only accelerate throughout the second half of our fiscal year. "In addition, we have made rapid progress in our e-commerce business and feel that this area will be among our most profitable segments in the second half of the year. We continue to feel confident that the combination of growth in our business units and our acquisition strategy will enable us to meet the financial objectives we have previously outlined for our shareholders."
