Within 60 days the Company anticipates that key product representatives will be distributing the Company's new highly competitive country specific pre-paid phone cards in several key California markets. Monterosso stated, ''I believe that by the Company directly supporting a group of serious individuals in the direct sales of ANS's phone cards, we will be able to pay commissions well in excess of the market standard to both retailers and representatives, and maintain strong margins for the company.'' Monterosso added that business development plans call for 40 additional representatives to be added to the sales force by the end of July. ''We expect to grow to one hundred representatives in select markets by the end of the year, and I expect that once fully operational, gross sales of this program will run approximately 20 million dollars per year.'' Monterosso indicated that recently announced telecommunications alliances would support Academy's efforts to target developing markets with competitive rates and innovative pre-paid products. The Company indicated that the new country specific pre-paid phone cards to be released within the next 60 days are a direct result of these transactions.
