Cryptologic Inc. Canadian OTC, Symbol: CRYP
Here is why I think this well established Internet Gambling and Data Security company stock price will increase very soon in January with the end of FY results and more during 1998. Refer to: Subject 14243
Last quarter CryptoLogic Inc. announced its results for the nine months ended September 30, 1997. Revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 1997 were $5.9 million, bringing its nine month revenues to $11.2 million. The Company had insignificant revenues in the same period last year, as it was in its start-up phase.
Net earnings for the third quarter were $4.0 million, bringing the Company's net earnings for the nine month period to $7.4 million. This compares with a loss of $0.5 million for the same period last year. Basic earnings per share in the third quarter, 1997 were $0.55, bringing the nine month total to $1.13 per share. On a fully diluted basis, earnings per share were $0.25 for the quarter and $0.49 for the nine months ended September 30, 1997. There are approximately 7.5 million common shares currently outstanding.
