In the second quarter, gross margin improved and earnings before interest, taxes depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) increased 38 percent over the first quarter to $6.8 million. The Company performed well in the quarter from a customer service point of view with an annualized owned portfolio attrition rate of 11.2 percent down from an annualized rate of 13.4 percent in the first quarter of 2004. We also achieved our second quarter account acquisition plan with 28,500 new contract equivalents added in the quarter at consideration below plan". Revenue for the second quarter of 2004 was $19.5 million compared with $18.2 million in the first quarter. Net loss for the second quarter ending June 30, 2004 was $370,000 or $0.01 per share compared to a net loss of $1.1 million or $0.04 per share in the first quarter. Second quarter 2004 accomplishments: o The acquisition of Alliant Protection Services, Inc. alarm portfolio of 17,400 contract equivalents and certain other assets for $14.5 million. o The generation of approximately 1,900 contract equivalents internally, an increase of 19 percent over the first quarter. o The acquisition of a total of 28,500 new contract equivalents in the quarter at a multiple of 27.5 times recurring monthly revenue (RMR). o The Company increased EBITDA to $6.8 million from $5.0 million in the first quarter. At June 30, 2004 the Company had $5.5 million in cash and stockholders' equity of $152.7 million. During the second quarter the Company retired $3.6 million in debt and ended the quarter with $61.8 million in debt and capital leases yielding a debt to equity ratio of 0.4 to 1. IASG Portfolio Data: Annualized Attrition Rate 4th Quarter 1st Quarter 2nd Quarter 2003 2004 2004 ---- ---- ---- IASG Owned Portfolio Legacy Portfolio 18.4% 17.7% 10.8% New Residential 12.0% 13.5% 9.9% New Commercial 6.8% 9.1% 13.4% Aggregate Owned Portfolio 12.5% 13.4% 11.2% Annualized Growth Rate Wholesale Monitoring Accounts (5.1%) 4.0% (17.9%) IASG ended the second quarter of 2004 with an owned portfolio of approximately 146,000 contract equivalents generating RMR of approximately $4.4 million and wholesale monitoring of approximately 500,000 accounts generating approximately $2.0 million in RMR. The annualized attrition rate for the second quarter of 2004 for the aggregate IASG owned alarm portfolio was 11.2 percent. The wholesale monitoring portfolio experienced a 17.9% annualized decline in accounts. This decline is a result of one alarm company bringing in-house to their call center some of their owned portfolio that IASG managed on a month to month basis. Given that this company has greatly reduced its acquisition activities we anticipated this retrenchment but its timing was uncertain. This business was lower margin than our typical wholesale relationship and we have no further wholesale business with this company. See the attached second quarter fiscal year 2004 financial highlights. The Company will be discussing these operating results and revenue and expense guidance in a conference call today at 4:45 p.m. EDT. This call can be heard via the IASG website at www.iasg.us and is also available in telephonic replay format.
