Q Comm International Announces Delayed Filing

Now, the Company is further postponing the filing of its Form 10-Q because it is still working with the SEC to potentially amend the presentation of certain financial disclosures. Notably, the Company does not expect these amendments to materially impact the amount of income or cash balances previously reported by the Company. The Company plans to file its Form 10-Q for the first quarter within the next 10 days (by June 3rd). In the interest of providing information to its stockholders with respect to the quarter ended March 31, 2005, however, the Company is announcing the following financial results. The Company cautions stockholders that these results are subject to change following the completion of the SEC review process. Revenues for the first quarter were $15.3 million, an increase of 80%, compared to $8.5 million in the first quarter of 2004. Higher transaction volume due to increased terminal activations drove revenue performance for the quarter. Margins, after accounting for cost of goods sold, commissions, fees paid to brokers and retailers but before depreciation and amortization, decreased to 3.1% in the first quarter of 2005, compared to 3.4% for the comparable period in 2004, reflecting a shift toward lower margin wireless products. As a percentage of sales, the Companys operating expenses decreased to 30.6%, from 39.5% in the first quarter of 2004, reflecting the Companys improving economy of scale as revenues increase. However, operating expenses in absolute dollars increased 39.9% to $4.7 million, from $3.3 million in the comparable period of last year, reflecting higher SG&A costs related to additional sales personnel, higher staffing, and an increase in professional fees. The Companys operating loss in the first quarter of 2005 increased to $1.3 million, compared to $1.0 million in the first quarter of 2004. Based on 5.0 million weighted average shares outstanding as of March 31, 2005, and 4.0 million weighted average shares outstanding as of March 31, 2004, net loss per common share was ($0.26), compared to ($0.34).
