Digital Shelf Space Corp. (TSX VENTURE:DSS)(OTCQX:DTSRF) (the
"Company" or "DSS") announces unaudited financial results for the
nine months ended September 30, 2011.
Highlights
-- Steady revenue growth during the nine months ending September 30, 2011
results in total revenues to date in excess of $1.8 million dollars.
-- Revenues for the third quarter ending September 30, 2011 were $669,533,
a 15% increase over the previous quarter and a 19% increase over the
first quarter of 2011.
-- The growth this quarter is very encouraging in what is traditionally the
slowest season for fitness products of this nature.
-- Retail expansion in Canada and the US continued this quarter with a
number of large retailers being added, including but not limited to,
Canadian Tire, Zellers, National Sports, Sport Chek, Sports Experts,
Academy Sports and Outdoors, and The Sports Authority.
Revenue
The total revenue for the nine months of $1,813,611 (October 31,
2010 - $6,557) continued to be driven primarily by the Company's
new product GSP RUSHFIT, an 8-week home-based DVD workout program
starring Mixed Martial Arts ("MMA") welterweight world champion
Georges St-Pierre. In addition to the product sales directly
through the GSP RUSHFIT website (www.gsprushfit.com), wholesale
revenues grew by 26% this quarter alone, when compared to total
wholesale revenues for the previous six months, through the
Company's partnership with Northern Response (International) Ltd.
("Northern"). Distribution was increased to include but not limited
to Zellers, Sport Chek, National Sports, Sports Experts and
Canadian Tire in Canada and in the US, The Sports Authority - the
largest retailer in the American sporting goods channel - as well
as Academy Sports and Outdoors. Plans for international expansion
continue to move forward and the Company anticipates new markets to
be opened up starting next quarter.
Mr. Jeffrey Sharpe, CEO and President of DSS stated, "We are
very pleased with the financial results for our third quarter and
for the 9 month period ending September 30, 2011. For us to
increase our revenue in the third quarter by 15% over the second
quarter and 19% over the first quarter is a very positive sign that
GSP RUSHFIT is gaining significant traction in the retail market
place. Typically revenues for health and fitness products
experience seasonal trends with the first quarter of the calendar
year most often generating the largest proportion of annual sales.
Retail sell through of GSP RUSHFIT has happened very quickly and is
now for sale in over 4000 stores across Canada, as well as is for
sale in the US with strategic sporting goods retailers. We look
forward to expanding our distribution channels internationally and
extending our marketing and advertising reach throughout the
balance of 2011." GSP RUSHFIT was launched on December 10, 2010 and
has quickly established itself as a premium brand in the lucrative
home fitness market.
Expenses
During the nine month period ending September 30, 2011,
operating expenses increased to $2,259,902 (October 31, 2010 -
$1,029,161). Contributing factors to this increase of $1,230,711
were those directly related to the increased revenue generated in
this quarter by the sales of the GSP RUSHFIT program and expenses
of $415,284 related to the publicly traded status of the Company
for which there were no comparative expenses in 2010.
Net Loss
Although expenses more than doubled on a period to period
comparison, the loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2011
was $416,025, a decrease of $606,612 from the net loss of
$1,022,637 for nine months ended October 31, 2010. The loss of
$70,441 this quarter is a decrease of $159,587, down from a loss in
the second quarter of $230,028.

ability to protect its intellectual property rights and not to
infringe on the intellectual property rights of others; the
availability and cost of labour and services; expected growth of
sales as a result of the Northern Response Partnership and consumer
demand ;and expected results from the use of celebrity fitness
products. While the Company considers these assumptions to be
reasonable, these assumptions are inherently subject to significant
uncertainties and contingencies.
Additionally, there are known and unknown risk factors which

from traditional large studios that target the male demographic,
large media production companies may move ecommerce operations
in-house rather than outsourcing, reliance on production studios
continuing to outsource ecommerce operations, reliance on a number
of key employees, limited operating history, the possibility of
claims against the intellectual property rights of the Company, the
possibility of infringements upon the intellectual property rights
of the Company; the Company may not have sufficiently budgeted for
expenditures necessary to carry out planned activities; future
