This coming year for MSGI... from the Yahoo board. Based on 4th quarter and 1st quarter revenues ($18.3M and $17.2M), MSGI is on a run-rate to do over $70M in sales in FY99. That's an increase of nearly 37% over 1998. Looking at their revenue for the past two years: $24,144,874 (year-ended June 30, 1997) $51,174,063 (year-ended June 30, 1998) $17,152,928 (first quarter-ended September 30, 1998) Looking at their earnings for the past two years: ($5,377,096) (year-ended June 30, 1997) ($780,478) (year-ended June 30, 1998) $90,108* (first quarter adjusted net income exclusing MFI) * If you exclude the start-up costs associated with creating a new subsidiary, MSGI would have posted a profit in their first quarter. Net income for the first quarter including the adverse affects of MFI was ($497,011). MSGI management is doing an outstanding job of turning this company around and this stock is poised for major growth. Earnings for the current quarter will be posted on February 15th. And as I stated, MSGI management is focused on bringing MFI to profitability in its first year of operations. The strength of the other four subsidiaries will more than offset any losses incurred by MFI. Therefore MSGI should post a profit of 0.06 on February 15th. Good Investing!! Double Digit

More MSGI earning info from Yahoo... FYI, Revenue for the fourth quarter was at record levels and was up more than 129% to $18,277,089 as compared to $7,998,657 for the fourth quarter one year ago. Net income for the fourth quarter was $350,374 as compared to $359,215 one year ago. During the fourth quarter, the company formed a new subsidiary, Metro Fulfillment, which had a $173,962 loss from its first two months of operations. Adjusted net income for the fourth quarter excluding the adverse effect from the Metro Fulfillment startup would have been $524,335. Revenue for the first quarter was up 136% to $17,152,928 as compared to $7,254,619 for the first quarter one year ago. Net income for the first quarter was ($497,011) as compared to ($96,679) for the first quarter one year ago. The entire loss is related to Metro Fulfillment, which had a $587,119 loss for the quarter. Adjusted net income for the first quarter excluding the adverse effect from the Metro Fulfillment startup would have been $90,108. Per Jeremy Barbera, "We are of course, very focused on the erosion caused by Metro Fulfillment, which concluded its first complete quarter of operations. Immediate restructuring efforts have already been implemented on an operational level and strategic alternatives are under consideration for this subsidiary." In talking with the Investor Relations Department the other day, Robbie Raffish mentioned that MSGI was diligently working to make Metro Fulfillment a profitable subsidiary. She mentioned that their losses were diminishing and, according to Jeremy Barbera, "Our goal this year is to bring our newest subsidiary, Metro Fulfillment, to profitability in its first year of operations, while beginning to stem the effects of seasonality on our other business. We fell well positioned to move ahead profitably in FY99." Analysts are projecting a 0.06 profit in the current quarter and a 0.26 profit for FY99. Since they lost 0.06 in their first quarter and plan to make 0.06 in their second quarter, that means a 0.26 profit in the third and fourth quarters combined. Based on all of the positive press releases, I would have to say that MSGI is well on it's way to profitability. Jeremy Barbera has also stated that their business is currently a little seasonal with their best quarters usually coming in the their 2nd and 4th quarters with dips in their 1st and 3rd quarters. After talking with Investor Relations, I was under the impression that profits from the other four subsidiaries would more than offset any losses incurred at Metro Fulfillment. And obviosly with a 0.26 profit projection from the anaylysts, they also believe that MSGI has solved a lot of problems over at Metro Fulfillment. Good Investing!! Double Digit

About the recent AMEX deal also from the Yahoo boards. Whoever stated that the AMX deal was only a $1000 deal is mistaken. This deal will generate 3-4 million in first year, which is just the stepping stone to more business. I know as a fact that MMI is by far one of the strongest most aggressive honest companies in its business, which has top shelf staff, no hype just fact. Just call some of their clients whom have been with them for 10 years better yet those that have been with them for only a year maybe two. They will continue to outperform all aspects of this industry. As for ownership of stock you can be assured that almost 60% of outstanding shares are being held by long term investors (G/E, Insiders/Institutions) with no intention of liquidating stock, that is unless it rolls up to over 10....some selling may occur at 9 dollar range but don't count on it. As for the sellers, the original investors (back when they were ALLCOM) are about out. These are the investors who manipulated the hell out of the company for their own financial gain and we're thrown out of the company by shareholders. Many of the current long term investors (G/E, funds, and insiders are in at the 3.50-4.50. You'll never seen $2.00/ share again that is unless their is a downward trend in the industry.
