Numbers that say HELLO: 01/28 08:49 All Communications Reports Record Fourth Quarter (200% Increase) And Year End All Communications Reports Record Fourth Quarter (200% Increase) And Year End Revenues (90% Increase) HILLSIDE, N.J., Jan. 28 /PRNewswire/ -- All Communications Corporation (the "Company") (OTC Bulletin Board: ACUC; ACUCW), a national turnkey provider of voice and videoconferencing systems, announced record revenues for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 1998. Fourth quarter revenues increased 200% to approximately $4,760,000 over comparable 1997 revenues of $1,590,000. Revenues for the year ended December 31, 1998 increased 90% to $13,100,000 over comparable 1997 revenues of $6,925,000. "We are extremely pleased with our revenue performance during the year and especially in the fourth quarter," commented Richard Reiss, Chief Executive and President of the Company. "Revenues in videoconferencing and voice systems were up 85% and 96%, respectively, over last years results. Our structured cabling division also showed substantial revenue growth. "The quality and attractive pricing of smaller videoconferencing group systems such as the ViewStation(R) product line recently introduced by Polycom (Nasdaq: PLCM) enabled us to gain a foothold in the large corporate market where we successfully completed a number of multi-unit contracts in 1998. In our voice communications division, strong customer demand for Lucent Technologies Inc. (NYSE: LU) voice and networking products pushed telephone system revenues to record levels this year. As we continue to broaden our customer base and expand our line of products and value-added services, we move closer to our goal of becoming a premier provider of voice and video solutions worldwide. "We also remain committed to managing an efficient and consistently profitable operation. In the fourth quarter, we continued to pare overhead and review other aspects of our business in an effort to improve operating margins as we head into 1999," concluded Mr. Reiss. The Company expects to report full operating results and other year-end financial information for 1998 by March 31, 1999. About All Communications Corp.
