Wayne
Allyn Root, chairman and CEO of GWIN Inc., said,
"We have spent six years building GWIN
and 'The WinningEDGE(TM)' into leading brand
names in sports handicapping. Today's filings
are a clear indication that the groundwork laid
during that time is beginning to pay off. It
is important to note the changes and related
challenges that the Internet has brought to
all media-related businesses and to our industry
in particular. We have moved from a business
model essentially 100% dependent on handicapping
information and services, to become a more diversified
sports, handicapping and entertainment company.
We take pride in our ability to continue adapting
to changes and exploiting opportunities. As
these numbers show, we have created a business
model with multiple revenue streams from handicapping
sales, television production and sales of advertising
and sponsorships. A prime example is the multi-year
deal we structured last year with Hooters Casino
Hotel Las Vegas. We are looking at this as a
model to structure additional high-margin relationships
with mainstream sponsors eager to reach our
valuable database. Our database demographics
are highly prized by advertisers -- males 21-49,
high disposable income, college-educated, small
business owners, professionals and/or self-employed,
interested in sports, gaming and entertainment
lifestyles. Over the past years we have built
these databases such that we and our advertisers
are now able to directly reach over a million
highly desirable consumers. We believe it to
be one of the most valuable assets of the company
and one that we have only begun to exploit.
I am proud of today's results and proud of how
far we have come."
Said
Douglas Miller, COO, "We are especially
pleased that we have been able to achieve these
higher revenues while holding the line on operating
expenses. One of the very attractive aspects
of our business is that we operate with substantial
gross margins. In our services division, once
we achieve our break-even point, as much as
50% of additional top line revenues flow through
to the bottom line. The percentage can be even
greater for incremental advertising revenues.
Our goal over the coming months is to increasingly
monetize our database and to continue to hold
the line on expenses while exploring opportunities
to add high-margin revenues, all to increase
our bottom line."
