Marketwired
Labwire, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: LBWR), a leading provider of employee
screening solutions and canine security and surveillance services,
announced that Moore and Associates has completed its review of the
financial records and results for the quarter ending March 31, 2008
and is pleased to report the following results:
1) Total Revenue of $879,997 vs. $1,167,976 in 2007. Management
had previously projected this decline due to the acquisition of its
largest client by a non-client London based company. Labwire has
negotiated the return of this business (see Labwire release May 15,
2008 "Labwire Signs Alliance") and has already begun the transition
of this business back to Labwire (see Labwire release June 30, 2008
"Labwire Completes First Conversion") and expects the returning
business to actually grow significantly as it returns.
2) Gross Profit improved to $417,289 vs. $373,688 in 2007. This
represents a $43,601 increase or a 11.67% improvement. Most
importantly, gross margin improved to 47% from 32% in 2007. This
encouraging trend is indicative of the addition of the OTI business
and management's focus on adding high margin business to its
contracts and capturing revenue for its technology services.
3) Operating Expense: Most operating expenses were flat or down
except Payroll Expense which increased to $239,393 vs. $127,072 in
2007. The increase was attributable to the addition of OTI,
one-time severance packages, and cost of living adjustments.
"The 1st quarter net income of $7,297 represents another in a
string of profitable quarters for Labwire," stated Marlin
Williford, CFO. "We improved margins and absorbed some further
overhead restructuring of OTI. This gives us a good foundation to
build on as we anticipate revenue growth to resume in the second
half of the year."
Dexter Morris, Labwire Chairman and CEO, provides the following
insight into business activity for this year: "We are pleased with
our revenue numbers; we experienced a $550,000+ revenue short fall
for the quarter with this business transaction, but were able to
increase our base business by more than $250,000, allowing Labwire
to have significant revenue and a profitable quarter. To accomplish
this and raise our gross margins at the same time is rewarding for
management and we are looking forward to more growth and
profitability in the second quarter."
