For the three months ended December 31, 2007, revenues increased 32% to
$462,780, compared with revenues of $351,502 in the fourth quarter of 2006.
The Company reported a net loss of ($32,579) in the fourth quarter of 2007,
versus a net loss of ($310,390) in the three months ended December 31, 2006.
For the twelve months ended December 31, 2007, the Company's revenues rose
51% to a record $1,460,752, compared with revenues of $964,994 in the year
ended December 31, 2006. Operating results for 2007 included twelve months of
operating results from QC GalleryWorks, which was acquired in June 2006,
whereas 2006 operating results included only seven months of operating results
from the acquired company. The Company reported a net loss of ($76,241) in
2007, versus a net loss of ($561,197) in the previous year.
"We are very pleased to report a 51% increase in 2007 revenues for the
year ended December 31, 2007, evidencing strong growth across all four
quarters," noted L. Douglas Keeney, Chief Executive Officer of
myPhotopipe.com, Inc. "Moreover, we were able to achieve these revenue gains
without the heavy losses often associated with a rapidly growing company, as
evidenced in an 86% reduction in our net loss for the year. Despite a
significant overhaul of our website, continuous upgrades at our plant, and
upgrades to our digital tools and data distribution platforms, our net loss
for 2007 totaled only ($76,241), compared with a net loss of ($561,197) in
2006."
"While we are proud of our accomplishments at myPhotopipe.com during the
past year, I should also make note of the strong growth trends within our
industry -- trends that have continued through the first quarter of 2008,"
continued Keeney. "According to PMA data, the number of prints made from
digital images increased 27% in 2007, when compared with the previous year.
Owners of digital cameras are currently taking an unprecedented 25 to 50
million images every week. Considering that more than 32% of all new digital
cameras sold in 2007 were high-end 8+ megapixel units, the quality of digital
images has improved dramatically. Because we cater to professional and
serious amateur photographers, we believe this trend towards high-end cameras
bodes well for myPhotopipe.com: the better the digital image, the more likely
it will be made into a print."
"Two years ago we made it clear that we believed that the ease of Internet
ordering and the convenience of home delivery would become the purchasing
channel of choice for the digital photographer and that, unlike others in our
space, we, as a company, would not divert capital to invest in retail kiosks
or other in-store pick-up models. For the last two years, digital
photographers have increasingly validated our vision, as
online-ordering-with-mail-delivery has consistently outpaced the growth of
other methods of ordering prints. Today, I am happy to report that year-end
data again shows a third year of uninterrupted share gains for Internet
purchasing with mail delivery. For the year ended December 31, 2007,
online-ordering-with-mail-delivery was the fastest growing method for ordering
prints -- up 64% versus 2006 and now accounting for a 15% share of the total
market. We have been, and we continue to be, a pure play in online digital
photo processing."
"As vibrant as our industry has been, we have even more reason to be proud
of our Company's accomplishments," added Keeney. "Our sales and development
teams helped myPhotopipe.com outpaced the industry's growth rate in 2007 by
recruiting many new customers during the year, including well known
professional sports teams in the NFL, MLB and NBA. On average, we added more
than 400 new customers each month last year, including clients as diverse as
Rosetta Stone, Georgia Tech University, and UPS. For the entire year, our
website was bookmarked more than 100,000 times, and over 40,000 copies of our
ordering software were downloaded."
"In October 2007, we publicly unveiled the initial roll-out of a print
partnership with the iStockphoto division of Getty Images. Not only are we
the exclusive provider of prints to this pioneering website that has more than
two million users, but our logo and brand now appear on their photo search
pages. More than 200 million images are served up on the iStockphoto website
each month, with each search result showing the myPhotoprint.com logo in the
'Print' tab directly beneath. In marketing, this represents almost
unprecedented exposure."
"Looking forward, we expect to continue building out our infrastructure,
expanding our suite of digital tools and templates, and aggressively pursuing
strategic alliances, partnerships and supply contracts. We recently announced
that the Department of Homeland Security has exercised its annual renewal
option under our exclusive supply contract with this important cabinet-level
federal agency. We will make further announcements of other exciting
developments as they occur in coming months."
"We have much to be thankful for. Our industry represents one of the
bright spots in the economy and we are one of the shining stars in our
industry," concluded Keeney.
