Headliners Takes Giant Step Towards Transformation
Headliners Entertainment Group, Inc (OTC BB: HLEG), released its 3rd quarter financial results today. The figures
dramatically show the results of management's decision to transform the
core business of Headliners from comedy clubs to dance-oriented venues.
Revenues for the quarter rose from $721,000 to $3,170,000, an increase of
over 400%. For the nine month period ending September 30, revenues rose
from $912,000 in 2004 to $6,953,000 in 2005, an increase over 700%. The
cost to accomplish this change in direction and this spurt in revenue have
all been absorbed and the company is now poised for greater sales growth
and bottom line profitability.
The plan and execution of this transformation can best be described in the
words of Ed Rodriguez, Headliners Chairman, CEO and President, He said: "In
addition to our three remaining comedy clubs in Montclair, NJ, Palisades
Center in Nyack, NY, and in the Hilton Hotel in Cherry Hill, NJ, we have
added five dance clubs in Cincinnati, Ohio, Louisville, Kentucky, Jackson,
Mississippi, Kansas City, Missouri, and Omaha, Nebraska. We are very close
to concluding contracts on two additional locations, and my senior
management team is devoting a lot of time to searching for more potential
venues. Additionally we have had a great response to our comedy clips from
XM, Audible and Microsoft's Windows Media platform. We have been in
discussions with other revenue generating platforms for the future of the
library.
"Headliners 4th Quarter results should show the benefits of this major
change in direction. There has been no stock based compensation paid, nor
any stock issued for consulting services so far in the 4th Quarter, nor is
any planned or anticipated. I sincerely believe that Headliners has found
its niche in the entertainment business community, and we plan to exploit
it to the fullest, for the benefit of its loyal shareholders."
