FortuNet, Inc. (the "Company") (Nasdaq:FNET) today announced financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2006.
FortuNet's quarterly revenue continued the recent trend of growing at a double-digit rate compared to the same quarter of the prior year. Specifically, sales during the quarter ended September 30, 2006 were approximately $4.08 million as compared with the sales of $3.51 million for the same quarter of the last year, an increase of 16.1%. For the 9 months ended September 30, 2006 sales were $12.05 million as compared with sales of $10.98 million for the same quarter of the previous year, an increase of 9.7%. The earnings for the current quarter were $0.05 per share, a decrease of approximately $0.01 per share as compared with the third quarter of the previous year (a 16.7% decrease). For the first three quarters of the current year, the total earnings were $0.07 per share, a decrease of approximately $0.13 per share (or 65.0%) in comparison with the total earnings per share for the first 9 months of the previous year. The quarterly and 9-months decreases in earnings per share are attributable primarily to the fiscal impacts associated with the Company's transition from a privately held corporation to a publicly traded entity. Importantly, even though the current quarterly earnings per share are lower than the earnings per share of a year ago, the current quarterly earnings of $0.05 per share are significantly better than the earnings of $0.00 per share for the second quarter of 2006.
During the quarter ended September 30, 2006, the Company was granted an additional gaming license by the Nevada Gaming Commission, namely, the Operator of Mobile Gaming Systems license. This license is necessary for the Company to operate mobile gaming systems in the future; however, the Company still needs to obtain product-specific licenses to manufacture and sell its mobile gaming devices. In October of 2006, the Company's chief executive officer, chief financial officer, chief technology officer and chief marketing officer were individually licensed or re-licensed by the Nevada Gaming Commission. Notwithstanding the achievement of these licensing milestones in the Company's strategy to penetrate the emerging mobile gaming market in Nevada, the Company does not expect to receive approval of its mobile gaming systems, which are currently under review by the Nevada Gaming Control Board, in 2006.
Today the Company unveiled a number of new gaming products at the G2E gaming show in Las Vegas, NV including a new model of its Mega FortuNet(r) mobile gaming system adapted to comply with Nevada's latest mobile gaming standards and policies. The new model includes a new fully redundant file server and a new high-speed expanded memory MobiPlayer(tm) mobile player unit incorporating an ultra-bright 10.4" color LCD screen adapted for both the indoor and the outdoor use. In addition, the Company exhibited two new models of VeriFlash(tm) solid state bingo flashboards having a new (patent pending) capability to display specifically the winning bingo numbers, patterns and prizes in addition to the conventional capability of showing all called bingo numbers and all bingo patterns being played.
