Chartwell http://www.chartwelltechnology.com beliefert Online-Kasinos und Handyhersteller mit Java-Games/Software und das immer erfolgreicher. Das Unternehmen weist überdurchschnittliche Wachstumsraten auf und konnte jetzt einen Gewinn von 11 Cent pro Aktie ausweisen.

Bei einer weiteren Kontinuität in den Wachstumraten, die das Management erwartet, ist eine Vervielfachung des Kurses durchaus möglich.

In Deutschland wurde der Wert noch nicht so recht entdeckt, aber ich bin überzeugt: Das könnte sich zügig ändern!

CHARTWELL ANNOUNCES FISCAL YEAR 2003 FOURTH QUARTER AND YEAR END RESULTS; REVENUE GROWTH OF 97%, NET INCOME OF $1.6M

Chartwell Technology has released its financial results for the year ended Oct. 31, 2003.

Revenue growth and consistent profitability were the key characteristics of Chartwell`s 2003 financial performance.

"We are pleased to report that we met our fiscal 2003 financial objectives on all fronts," states Don Gleason, chief financial officer. "We concluded the year with significant revenue growth, achieved profitability in four successive quarters and generated 11 cents in earnings per share. With a solid financial foundation, an expanded product offering and a growing customer base, we have a strong platform from which to continue to expand our business and extend this momentum into fiscal 2004."

Revenue

Revenue for the three months ended Oct. 31, 2003, was $1,748,400, an increase of 29 per cent compared with $1,346,902 in the same period of 2002. For the 12 months ended Oct. 31, 2003, revenue was $7,353,141, an increase of 97 per cent compared with $3,737,994 for the previous year. Growth continues to be attributable to the quarter-over-quarter increase in licence fees from the installed base of clients. Licence fee revenue for the fourth quarter of 2003 was $1,847,097 compared with $1,144,948 for the same period of the previous year, representing an increase of 61 per cent. For the 12 months ending Oct. 31, 2003, licence fee revenue totalled $6,300,335 compared with $2,646,766, an increase of 138 per cent compared with the previous year.

Operating expenses

Total operating expenses excluding foreign exchange gains or losses, for the three-month period totalled $1,163,248 compared with $1,420,049 for the same period of 2002. For the 12 months ended Oct. 31, 2003, total operating expenses were $5,467,103 compared with $5,255,071 for the previous year. Software development and support costs, which represent the company`s largest expenditure area, increased 23 per cent over the prior year as resources were added to meet product development and customer support initiatives. These costs included the deferral of $530,248 of development costs relating to the building of new products. For the three months and 12 months ended Oct. 31, 2003, general and administrative expenses decreased 9 per cent and 22 per cent respectively compared with the same periods of 2002.

Foreign exchange

The continued decline of the U.S. dollar compared with its Canadian counterpart and the corresponding revaluation of U.S. monetary assets resulted in foreign currency losses for the three months and 12 months ending Oct. 31, 2003, of $209,728 and $795,186, respectively. There were no comparative losses for the same period of 2002.

Net income

Net income for the fourth quarter was $895,424 compared with a loss of $72,415 for the corresponding period of the previous year. Net income for the 12 months ending Oct. 31, 2003, was $1,610,852 or 11 cents per share compared with a loss of $1,431,282 or 11 cents per share for the previous year. Net income in the fourth quarter was positively affected by the recognition of $520,000 in future tax assets relating primarily to prior period losses. At Oct. 31, 2003, $1,067,287 of realizable future tax assets remain available to be applied against future income tax expense.

Chartwell continues to maintain a solid financial base from which to execute its growth strategy. At Oct. 31, 2003, Chartwell had $5,178,010 in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, working capital of $6,752,155 and remains debt free.

WARNING: The company relies upon litigation protection for "forward-looking" statements.


DER CHART:

[arcadia]

Das Gute bei Chartwell ist, dass das Unternehmen selbst keine Kasinos betreibt. Es beliefert lediglich die Betreiber mit den entsprechenden Produkten.

Die Kontinuität in den Wachstumsraten ist überproportional, somit auch die Chance, mit dieser Aktie überproportionale Gewinne zu erzielen.
