+++++++++++++++++++++++++
FTR Pty Ltd announced today continued revenue growth resulting from
increased sales activity worldwide. The Company stated that
increasing acceptance of its software based digital recording
solutions and its new courtroom recording device, FTR
ReporterDeck(TM), has led to record sales for FTR and continued
dominance in the courtroom recording market.
Specific sales in North America include statewide contracts in New
York and Missouri, which have already resulted in the installation of
more than 100 recording systems since the first of the year.
Significant installations in Illinois, Arizona, Ohio, Florida,
Indiana, Oregon, Washington, California and several other US states
helped add to FTR's growing list of satisfied customers.
Increased sales activity by the Company's network of more than 50
authorized resellers has accounted for the sale and installation of
more than 600 recording systems with revenue of more than AUD 4
million since January 1, 2002. Performance in April has been
particularly pleasing.
FTR Pty Ltd continues to trade profitably and is cashflow positive.
Outside of the United States, the Company reported sales related to
the expansion of sites in Puerto Rico and Hong Kong. Both customers
have been recording with FTR systems for several years and are now
expanding operations to include additional FTR sites.
In Australia, FTR announced that it was the selected technology
provider for the Australian Family Court under a recently awarded
contract. The contract called for 90 systems to be installed and
operating by the end of April. Under control of the selected
transcription providers, all 90 courtrooms were installed and on-line
ahead of schedule.
Steve Townsend, CEO of FTR Pty Ltd, explains that "Since we
restructured the Company in June of last year, we have steadily
increased system sales, monthly revenue and profits. We are all very
pleased with the success of FTR over the last 10 months." Steve
Townsend went on to say that he credits the Company's success to "an
incredibly talented team of people, building and selling a great set
of products through an effective and professional network of highly
qualified resellers."
Dave Harrison, General Manager for Asia Pacific operations said "the
Family Court project in Australia reinforces the view that FTR is the
digital recording solution of choice for courtrooms and hearing rooms
throughout this region. We believe that our success is due to the
fact that we have a product which addresses the market needs and we
are devoted to making sure that every one of our customers receives
the highest possible level of service and support."
A big part of FTR's recent sales success is due to the demand for FTR
ReporterDeck(TM). FTR announced this new product in August of 2001
and released it in December. Since then, the product has sold at a
pace much higher than forecast. Steve Townsend noted that "we knew
the FTR ReporterDeck(TM) would be popular, but we had no idea there
was this level of demand for this simple and reliable device. We are
very happy with the product's success and expect continued strong
sales in the coming months."
FTR ReporterDeck(TM) is a standalone hardware "appliance" that
performs 4-channel digital audio recording, archiving, playback and
duplication. It requires no additional hardware or software to
operate. The system is designed as a direct "plug-n-play" replacement
for analog tape recorders. FTR ReporterDeck(TM) is network enabled
and easily configured to operate in a standalone mode or as an
accessible device on a Novell or Windows NT/2000 network. The unit is
also compatible with FTR Log Notes(TM) and FTR Monitor(TM).
The FTR Gold family of products is available through FTR authorized
resellers worldwide.
Founded in 1993 in Perth, Australia, with US headquarters in
Phoenix, Ariz, FTR Pty Ltd is the world's leading supplier of
courtroom digital audio recording systems. FTR systems are currently
installed in more than 4,000 venues in over 15 countries in North
America, Europe, Asia and Africa.
FTR Pty Ltd is a wholly owned subsidiary of FTR Holdings Limited
(ASX:FTR).
