#reply-8719734 the USAT contract is questioned earlier on the FCM thread. In typical hype fashion, it is replied that "USAT is a good paying customer".

For FCM pressreleases also see: ftel.com

This is the USAT release, a bigger chunk of "booked revenue":
ftel.com

From the 10-K (June 1999):
"The overall increase is due to sales of newly introduced DVG products. One customer constituted 76% of total sales for the year ended June 30, 1999."

Who??

Whoever it is, it is a somewhat unhealthy concentration. Reading the press releases mentioned above sequentially does not unveil any other bigger client than USAT ($3.75MM),making up for all of the 1st Q revenue growth, and 40% of the total revenue growth in FY99.

Company Press Release

Franklin Telecom Reports First-Quarter
Results

WESTLAKE VILLAGE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 15, 1999-- Franklin Telecom (AMEX:FCM - news)
today announced the results for the quarter ended Sept. 30, 1999.

Net sales decreased by $158,000, or 17 percent, from $933,000 in the three months ended Sept. 30, 1998, to $775,000 in the three months ended Sept. 30, 1999. This quarter had a loss of $3,035,000, as compared with a loss of $1,165,000 for the same quarter last year.

Almost half of the loss this quarter was attributable to a one-time bad-debt reserve for a single customer. The loss per share was 12 cents for the quarter ended Sept. 30, 1999, as compared with a loss per share of 6 cents for the same quarter last year.


Single customer, not paying its bills? USAT?
