Labwire, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: LBWR), a leading provider of employee
screening solutions and canine security and surveillance services,
announced that Moore and Associates has completed it's review of
the financial records and results for the quarter ending June 30,
2008 and is pleased to report the following results:
1) Total Revenue of $ 1,019,324 vs. $ 1,009,310 in 2007. The increase
in revenue is indicative of the first business from the USIS
Alliance, strong performance of the OTI unit, and additional
revenue from existing Labwire customers.
2) Gross Profit improved to $ 522,520 vs. $ 445,379 in 2007. This
represents a $ 77,141 increase or a 17.32% improvement. Most
importantly, gross margin improved to 51% from 44% in 2007. This
encouraging trend is indicative of the addition and growth of the
OTI business, a swift and successful conversion of the first
business from the USIS Alliance, and management's focus on adding
high margin business to its existing contracts and capturing
revenue for its technology services.
3) Operating Expense: Total operating expense was $ 430,694 vs.
$ 298,988 in 2007. Management continues to focus on controlling
operating expense. Most areas were flat or down except Payroll
Expense which increased to $ 225,888 vs. $ 162,402 in 2007. This
is primarily attributable to the addition of OTI. Management
expects this to become less of a factor as the company is now set
up for additional revenue growth in future quarters and the
restructuring of OTI staffing needs have been addressed.
"The 2nd quarter pre-tax net income of $ 57,235 represents
another in a string of profitable quarters for Labwire," stated
Marlin Williford, CFO. "Our numbers were in line with our previous
management release except a slight difference in net income of
about $ 8,000. This was attributable to some additional
amortization applied by our auditors. We continue to focus on
controlling expense while improving margins and building revenue.
We feel we have a good foundation established as we anticipate
additional revenue growth in the second half of the year."
Dexter Morris, Labwire Chairman and CEO, provides the following
insight into business activity for this year: "We have been working
very hard to put everything in place to operate as a
fully-reporting public company. This has been very time consuming
as we move thru the various steps in the process. With the
completion of the audit process thru June, we have cleared an
important hurdle to up-listing. We will be aggressively pursuing
this agenda in the near term and will keep our shareholders advised
of our progress. The 2nd quarter numbers were very encouraging with
$1MM+ revenue, increasing margins and profit, and the further
growth and development of our OTI acquisition. We are also pleased
to see the impact of our first revenue under the USIS Alliance (see
press release May 15, 2008). We see great potential in this
relationship. We thank our shareholders for their support and we
are excited about the future business prospects for Labwire."
