Business Wire
Ablaze Technologies, Inc. (Pink Sheets:ABZT), a results oriented
internet marketing company, announced today its third quarter sales
and earnings for the previous quarter ending September 30, 2006.
Gross Revenue for the third quarter ending September 30 was
$3,046,424, down from $4,198,261 the previous quarter. Total
revenue for the nine month period was $12,255,711. Net income for
the third quarter was ($250,408) or ($0.0032) per share, improved
from ($396,135) or ($0.005) the previous quarter. Net after-tax
income for the nine month period (year-to-date) was $435,535 or
$0.00562/share on 77,500,000 total issued and outstanding shares.
Advertising and marketing remained the Company�s biggest expense at
$2,215,476, down slightly from $2,931,213 during the second
quarter, while general and administrative expenses were $216,475
for the third quarter. The Company maintained its debt free status
with the exception of $206,180 in reserve for Federal Income Taxes.
Shareholders equity was $1,034,034 for the period ending September
30. Shareholders equity included $382,730 cash on hand and
approximately $815,770 in marketable securities with $467,424 in
unrealized investment gains. Unrealized gains decreased by
$1,194,516 for the quarter. Darrel Uselton, CEO stated: �Our
financial performance for the quarter was improved over last
quarter, but still disappointing in that we were unable to top the
profitable mark for the quarter. We also experienced some
significant declines in our unrealized gains on investment
securities held, which reduced shareholders equity. We derive a
large portion of our revenues from our portfolio of securities
received in fee and trading activities, and therefore experienced
significant volatility in the third quarter in line with the
overall market�s performance. We are diligently working each day to
manage a profitable balance between advertising outlays and the
revenue it in turn generates, remaining focused on profitability
over pure revenue growth. We are exploring strategic acquisition
opportunities as well with business lines that would provide more
predictable results that would smooth our earnings quarter over
quarter and lessen our dependence on large fluctuations in realized
and unrealized gains on securities.� Ablaze Technologies, Inc.
