Alliance Distributors Holding Inc. Reports Third Quarter and Nine-Month Financial Results
NEW YORK, May 12, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Alliance Distributors Holding Inc. (Pink Sheets: ADTR), a distributor of interactive video games and gaming products, today announced its financial results for the three-month and nine-month periods ended March 31, 2011.
Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2011 decreased 21% to $16 million from $20.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2010. Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was $7,000, compared to $235,000 for the comparable period in 2010.
For the nine months ended March 31, 2011, net sales decreased 22% to $46.6 million from $60.1 million in the nine months ended March 31, 2010. Net income for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 was $277,000, compared to $678,000 for the comparable period in 2010.
In April 2011, the company repurchased approximately 8.7 million shares of its common stock for $337,000. The transaction reduced the number of the company's outstanding shares to 44,157,000.
"We continued to see a challenging market in video games during the quarter ended March 31, 2011," said Jay Gelman, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "Despite another quarter of growth in value software sales, persistent weakness in frontline software and console sales continues to be a major contributing factor to our overall decline in sales.
"Our Metaversal subsidiary recently released Bad Apples: Battle Harvest in the iTunes Appstore where it is available for $1.99, along with a free version, Bad Apples: Battle Harvest Lite. The new application is currently featured on the 'New and Noteworthy' section of the Appstore. We previously noted that Metaversal's Shave Me! game was the second or third most frequently downloaded free application in the iTunes Appstore for a brief period in April."
