Business Wire
HearAtLast Holdings, Inc. (Pinksheets: HRAL) announced today that
Company has posted its earnings report on pinksheets.com for its
fiscal third quarter period covering 10/01/2007 - 12/31/2007.
HearAtLast Holdings, Inc. through its wholly owned subsidiary
HearAtLast, Inc. currently operates 18 hearing clinics co-located
within Wal-Mart Stores, Wal-Mart Supercenters and Sam�s Clubs in
Canada under a master licensing agreement with Wal-Mart Canada
Corp. (NYSE: WMT). The Company also operates one free standing
location in the U.S. located in The Villages, Florida. The Company
recorded revenues of USD $484,087 for Q3 of FY2007, a 542% increase
in revenue compared to Q3 FY2006 revenues of USD $75,391, and had
revenues for the nine months ended 12/31/07 of USD $901,900 vs.
revenues of USD $202,853 for the nine months ended 12/31/06,
representing a 345% period-over-period increase. Management points
out that there were only three stores open in Q3 of last year (Oct.
�06 � Dec. �06). The strong increase in revenue is attributed to
the addition of 18 clinics, of which 15 of which were fully
operational during this reporting period, the final three months of
calendar 2007. It should be noted that in 2006 while there were 3
clinics staffed, only one was operational while the other two were
preparing for their grand opening. In Q3 of 2007 there were 18
clinics open and 15 were operational. HearAtLast expects the gross
revenue for all new stores to increase as each location becomes
more established and each store matures. Management would also like
to add that the Company recorded revenues of USD $263,463 in the
month of January 2008 alone, which would suggest a quarterly
run-rate of nearly USD $800,000. As the new clinic locations become
fully operational management believes that overall revenues will
continue to increase at a substantial rate. �January revenues in
2008 are approximately 30% of what we did [in our fiscal] year to
date,� said Robert Oswald, President of HearAtLast. �We expect to
have additional profit centers within our locations as we add
ancillary product offerings and services for our customers,� added
Oswald. Administrative costs are well below expectations, again
largely because management is moving slowly to increase support
costs until they have more clinics at their maturity levels.
