Commenting on the Company’s financial results, Stephen Adele, CEO of iSatori noted, “2012 was an exciting year for iSatori. After completing an important merger that allowed us to become a publicly traded company and provided significant growth capital, our balance sheet remains strong. While our 2012 financial results were negatively impacted by non-recurring and mostly non-cash expenses related to the merger with IZZI, we are very excited about the growth opportunities available to the Company in 2013 and beyond.
“Our optimism regarding the future revolves around a number of strategic initiatives that we began implementing during the second half of 2012. Specifically, we have successfully upgraded our Internet marketing infrastructure in a manner that has increased our customer response rate and is expected to lead to improved customer loyalty in our direct-to-consumer marketing programs. We have also accelerated our research and development activities in order to achieve our goal of introducing at least four new products annually. During the past nine months, we have launched three successful nutritional supplement products, and six viable new products are currently in the pipeline. And finally, we achieved a major breakthrough in our ‘mass market’ expansion initiative with our entry into Walgreens, which is now carrying our time-released Energize pill product in over 6,486 of its drug stores throughout the United States. Our objective is to establish relationships with two more leading national mass merchandisers during 2013, as we aggressively pursue the mass-market channel, which is responsible for more than 70 percent of all nutritional supplement sales in the U.S. We believe iSatori can replicate the success it has achieved in specialty retail and direct-to-consumer marketing within the mass market sales channel, thereby opening the door to much greater sales potential in the future.
“Shareholders should expect results from these activities to become more visible as we proceed through 2013 and to be fully evident in our 2014 operating results. Our goal to achieve annualized revenue of $25 to $50 million over the next several years is predicated on the Company’s ability to gain additional mass market distribution and to grow specialty retail and Internet sales through the successful introduction of new products,” concluded Adele.
