Global Intellicom Reports FY'97 Financial Results
NEW YORK, April 17 /PRNewswire/ -- Global Intellicom, Inc. (Nasdaq: GBIT - news) today announced preliminary operating results for its Fiscal Year ended December 31, 1997. GBIT reported a net increase in sales for continuing operations of 83%, to $51,235,121 million in 1997 versus $28,054,341 million for continuing operations in 1996.
During the same FY'97 period, GBIT posted a net loss from continuing operations of $2.3 million or $.34 per share, compared with a net loss of $927,027 or $.22 per share in FY'96. In addition, GBIT's loss from the previously discontinued operations of its Nevcor and Speech Solutions subsidiaries amounted to $7,133,152 or $.95 per share in 1997.
The company stated, ''For the most recent period, GBIT's losses stem mainly from write-offs associated with the divestiture of two non-core, money-losing operations. In a restructuring started in 1997 and extending into 1998, GBIT also consolidated its remaining businesses and installed a new management team.''
It was also stated that GBIT is expected to post an operating loss for the First Quarter of 1998 due to the seasonal nature of the company's sales and the financial impact of further developing its systems integration operation. ''In following quarters GBIT expects to begin reaping the financial rewards of its growing services component.''
GBIT has 7.5 million shares outstanding and a float of 5.3 million shares. GBIT assembles, develops and distributes computer software (proprietary as well as software from major developers) hardware (from laptops to high-end servers) and wireless technology mostly to commercial and government markets.
