Deer
Park, NY, Thursday, October 4, 2001 –
QuesTec, Inc. (OTC BB: QSTI),
a digital media content provider of real-time
measurement, virtual replays and interactive
content for entertainment and mainstream
professional sports, announces that it will
report revenues for their fiscal year ended
June 30, 2001 of approximately $696 thousand,
compared with revenues of approximately $297
thousand for their fiscal year ended June 30,
2000, an increase in revenue of approximately
135%.
The
Company had a net loss for the twelve-month
period ended
June
30, 2001
of approximately $959 thousand, or $0.03 per
share. In
the corresponding twelve-month period ended
June
30, 2000
, the
company reported a net loss of approximately
$1.35 million, or $0.04 per share which
represents a decrease in net operating loss of
almost 30%.
Due to the unforeseen extension of Major League
Baseball’s regular season, QuesTec
management has revised their revenue
projections for their first quarter,
September 30, 2001
. Management had reported earlier
that they expected revenues for the
three-month period ended
September 30, 2001
to
meet or exceed revenues reported for the
entire fiscal year ended
June 30, 2001
. As a
direct result of the postponement of games by
Major League Baseball and broadcast schedule
changes by FOX Sports Net, the Company will
report revenues of approximately $565 thousand
for the three-month period ended September 30,
2001, compared with revenues of approximately
$256 thousand for the corresponding
three-month period ended September 30, 2000.
All revenue not posted due to
rescheduled games will appear in the
Company’s six month period ended
December 31, 2001
.
The Company expects to post its first
profitable quarter for the three-month period
ended
September 30, 2001
.
The increases in reported revenues are attributed to
advertising sales generated by the Company’s
PitchTrax™ virtual replay technology which
is provided exclusively to FOX Sports Net, and
the Company’s recently announced 5-year
contract with Major League Baseball to
develop, install and operate the Company’s
Umpire Information System™.
Revenues for QuesTec are expected to
exceed $1.1 million for the calendar year
ending
December 31, 2001
.
"Our
continued efforts, established relationships
and long term contracts clearly validate the
marketability of QuesTec’s technology,”
stated Steven B. Greenfield, Chairman of the
Board for QuesTec.
“The dramatic increases in Company
revenues are a direct result of the years of
effort and investment by QuesTec to build and
expand the infrastructure needed to deploy
QuesTec’s technology for professional
baseball.
To date, we have established a presence
in 23 of 30 Major League Stadiums and have
operated our systems in 26 of the existing 30
ballparks. QuesTec’s joint development
efforts with its partner, Titan Systems
Corporation - Aerospace Electronics Division
have dramatically increased the accuracy,
reliability and portability of our
technology.”
Mr.
Greenfield further stated that “Questec has
increased revenues while reducing company debt
and improving operating efficiency.
QuesTec is now positioned to capitalize
on its expanding infrastructure, validated
marketability and established business
policies.
By maintaining our proven business
principles with an ever-growing number of
applications and opportunities, management
expects to sustain its financial growth.
As a company, QuesTec has managed to
define and execute on previously announced
goals and objectives.
Management firmly believes that this is
an opportune time for QuesTec both
domestically and internationally, and we will
continue to explore every avenue to achieve
success and profitability."
