(PR NEWSWIRE) PopMail.com, Inc. Announces Second Quarter Results PopMail.com, Inc. Announces Second Quarter Results Internet Revenue Increases More Than 200% From First Quarter DALLAS, Aug. 17 /PRNewswire/ -- PopMail.com, Inc. (Nasdaq: POPM), a leading permission and affinity-based content and e-mail marketing company, today announced results for the second quarter ended July 2, 2000. The Company's Internet marketing division reported second quarter revenue of $808,000. This represents an increase in revenue over the quarter ended April 2, 2000, of $430,000, a 215% gain and more than a 280% quarter over quarter revenue increase since the division was launched in 1999. For the quarter ended July 2, 2000, the Company's restaurant division reported net sales of $2.4 million, a decrease of 33 percent from net sales of $3.6 million reported for the quarter ended July 4, 1999. The restaurant division's net sales for the twenty-six weeks ended July 2, 2000, and July 4, 1999, were $4.8 million and $5.9 million, respectively, representing a 19% decrease of $1.1 million. The decrease for both periods is primarily attributable to the fact that only two restaurants were in operation during the second quarter of 2000 versus three restaurants in operation during the second quarter of 1999. Aggressive expansion, working capital requirements for the development of new e-mail marketing services, and expenses related to acquisitions were significant elements of cash flows and operating results in the second quarter. Gary Schneider, Chief Executive Officer of PopMail.com, said, "The increase in the Internet marketing division's revenue in the second quarter, along with the acquisition of Fan Asylum, Inc. on June 14th, reinforces the Company's leadership position in Internet affinity-based marketing. We expect our growing client base and incremental revenues from Fan Asylum, Inc. to allow the Company to maintain a similar pace in revenue growth going forward." For the quarter ended July 2, 2000, PopMail.com reported a net loss, excluding acquisition and development costs, depreciation, amortization and non-operating costs, of $2.8 million. Acquisition and development costs amounted to $600,000, depreciation amounted to $300,000, amortization of goodwill amounted to $7.1 million and non-operating losses amounted to $2.6 million. When combined, total net loss for the quarter ended July 2, 2000, amounted to $13.4 million or $0.36 per share, compared to a loss of $900,000 or $0.11 per share, for the quarter ended July 4, 1999.
