AdultShop sags on card woes

By Neale Prior



THE porn party could be over for AdultShop.com after a plunge in cash flow because of problems with credit-card processing for its online entertainment operations.

The Perth-based company last night backed away from a bullish forecast profit for the December half of $11.6 million and instead projected a loss as well as a fall in its cash reserves.

It said in a statement its online erotic entertainment division had recorded exceptional growth in the June half. But this growth had caused an increase in credit-card processing costs, including levies for rejected transactions.

"If this had remained unchecked, the long-term viability of the online adult entertainment business could have been jeopardised," it said.

The company said it had made a move in the past fortnight to outsource its billing operation in order to protect the long-term integrity and profitability of the online erotic entertainment business.

In May, The West Australian published details of an Amsterdam-based credit-card billing operation that was linked to AdultShop.com`s pornography operation and which gave various warnings to people considering disputing a credit-card billing.

The plbill.com site included a warning that an invoice would be sent that included the date and time the site was accessed and examples of files downloaded.

Internet pornography operations sign up subscribers using credit cards to so-called memberships giving them access to various forms of online entertainment. Pornography purveyors pay third parties for directing new members to their sites.

AdultShop.com said last night it was implementing a more stringent membership validation process as part of its new billing system.

This had substantially reduced the membership database but it was in the process of renewed growth.

The reduction in the membership database had a direct effect on revenues for the current half, it said. Costs would fall but by a smaller proportion because it would take some time to alter the cost structure, particularly membership acquisition.

Last night`s announcement halts spectacular growth since AdultShop.com finalised a deal at the end of the 2000-01 financial year to buy the Today`s Success online pornography operations from two Queensland internet entrepreneurs.

The apparent success of that acquisition was confirmed in May when the company flagged profits of $5.63 million for the 2001-02 financial year and $11.62 million for the December half. The 2001-02 forecasts were surpassed yesterday when the company disclosed cash holdings of $17.49 million at June 30, and a full year profit of $5.72 million on turnover of $117.26 million.




Hier ein Bericht von Egoli.com.au:

Adultshop says H1 to be in red
6-September-2002
Adultshop.com Ltd (ASC) announced late yesterday that the company will not meet its previously projected first half net profit of $11.6 million, instead sliding into the red. The revised projection compares to a first half net profit in 2001/02 of $5.7 million.

The sex products company warned that based on revenue results and changes to its operating conditions, financial forecasts made in May would not be achieved.


The company also flagged a reduction in cash reserves from June 30, 2002, with cash reserves at December 31, 2002 expected to be between $10-$12 million.

Adultshop blamed the projected fall in cash flow to trading losses in the first quarter. However, it said negative trading results were expected to be contained within the quarter and the second quarter was anticipated to trade profitably.

The company also blamed the reduction in cashflow on the payment of 2002 liabilities, including an income tax payment of $2.1 million.

EBITDA for the first half are expected to between $1-$2 million.

Adultshop also said that it had experienced problems with credit card processing in its online erotic entertainment. As a result, Adultshop recently decided to outsource its billing solution to "protect the long term integrity and profitability of the online erotic entertainment business".

Consequently, the company said, a more stringent membership validation process, which was part of the new billing solution, had substantially reduced the membership database and was likely to effect revenue in the first half.

However, Adultshop said it was confident of the online erotic entertainment business division`s profitability in the long term.

Adultshop was placed in a trading halt on Tuesday following a request from the company, trading is expected to resume today.

At 1050 AEST Adultshop.com shares were 13.6c, or 57% lower to 9.9c

HOMEX - Perth

+++++++++++++++++++++++++
The Directors of Adultshop.com Limited announce the Company`s
preliminary final result for the financial year ended 30 June 2002.
The 2001/2002 financial year is the first financial year in which a
consolidated profit and a positive EBITDA has been reported.

Key Figures:

2002F 2002A % DIFFERENCE

EBIT 7,217 7,258 + 0.57%
Net Profit after Tax 5,632 5,716 + 1.49%
Cash at End of 17,400 17,490 + 0.52%

(1) The forecast includes 6 months of actual results to 31 December
2001 plus 6 months of projections to 30 June 2002 (as released to the
ASX on 13 May 2002).

MAJOR FACTORS INFLUENCING THE YEAR`S RESULTS:

AdultShop.com`s online erotic entertainment business, Today`s Success
Pty Ltd, was the main contributor to revenue and profit growth
during the 2001/2002 financial year. Since the acquisition of the
business on 29 June 2001, online traffic generation strategies for
its online erotic entertainment services have resulted in significant
revenue growth.

FINANCIAL OUTLOOK:

Based on recent results and changes to the Company`s operating
conditions, including its billing solutions, the Directors advise
that financial forecasts for the six month period ending 31 December
2002 previously released to the market (1 3 May 2002) will not be
achieved.

The Company expects to record a net loss for the six month period
(compared to a previously projected net profit after tax of $11.6
million) and a reduction in its cash reserves from 30 June 2002. Cash
reserves at 31 December 2002 are anticipated to be within the range
of $10 - $12 million. This reduction is due to:

* Trading losses for the first quarter. Note that the negative
trading results are expected to be contained within the first quarter
and the second quarter is anticipated to trade profitably. The EBITDA
for the six month period to 31 December 2002 is anticipated to be in
the range of $1 - $2 million.

* Payment of 30 June 2002 liabilities, including an income tax
payment of $2.1 million.

* Cash reserves escrowed by an international credit card processor
formerly contracted by the Company.

The Company`s online erotic entertainment division`s membership base
recorded exceptional growth in the six months ended 30 June 2002,
resulting in the revenues and earnings referred to in the table
above. Unfortunately, a consequence (if this growth was an increase
in credit card processing costs, including levies for rejected
transactions. If this had remained unchecked, the long term integrity
and profitability of the online erotic entertainment business could
have been jeopardised. Therefore, in the last fortnight, the Company
made the decision to outsource its billing solution in order to
protect the long term integrity and profitability of the online
erotic entertainment business. A more stringent membership validation
process, which is part of the new billing solution, substantially
reduced the membership database. The database is now in the process
of renewed growth.

The reduction in membership database has a direct effect on revenues
for the six month period ending 31 December 2002. Costs will also
reduce, albeit by a smaller proportion as it will take some time to
alter the division`s cost structure, particularly member acquisition
costs. The Directors remain confident in the long term profitability
of the online erotic entertainment business division.

The Directors caution that the length of the entertainment division`s
business cycle is such that they will not be in a position until
November to better evaluate the results of the recent changes.

Erinnert mich an MyCasino. Merkwürdig, habe noch nie gehört, dass die Einnahmen durch Kreditkarten die Ausgaben übersteigen. Bei MyC wurde wenigstens von KK Betrug gesprochen. Hier bleibt der mögliche Verlust für mich völlig unklar.

[pcy]

Leute, dass ist eben`n Pornoladen!

.........Da werden immer erst die Hüllen fallen gelassen nachdem ihr bezahlt habt und nicht vorher!...

[speedy001]

ist asc mit 0,05 noch zu teuer,ich finde mit 0,05 kann man einiges kaufen event montag wieder etwas höher.

auf 0,01 werden wir ja doch nicht gleich fallen.

[Nefprak]

aus der schweiz mit von der partie. auch bei my casino war der ganove im vorstand, genau wie auch bei diesem unternehmen. alles nur zufall ?? garantiert nicht !!!!

Wenn jeder von euch eine Mail dahin sendet...vielleicht rührt sich da was.....

( klarer Fall das da Insiderhandel auch mit im Spiel ist)

die lachen sich jetzt ins fäustchen und denken ...die haben wir wieder alle reingelegt

das Vertrauen ist futsch, wird ein harter Weg, um ein bischen nach oben zu kommen.

ASC wir wohl zu einer reinen Zockeraktie verkommen,
schlechte Ausichten für die stay long und ich verbillige
Freunde.

[dutchoo]

die Dinger fliegen auch bei uns raus wie erwartet.

Schickt doch ein paar Danksagungen an den Porn und Erotik Gott Malcolm.

Bravo, wieder dick abkassiert und eine Firma lahmgelegt

[heinzilein]

Werkwürdig, dass dieses Volumen vom Markt aufgenommen wird!!
Vielleicht Gelegenheit billig rein zu kommen, bevor die
nachhaltige Wende zum Positiven geschafft ist!

[IchLachMichTodHier]

Ich habe gerade thaller (unter anderem Namen) eine email geschrieben. Seine Antwort lapidar

Buy on bad news, sell on good news.

Er meinte auch das man bei ASC das Selling nicht vergessen darf.

[wolliwallstreet]

Habe eben mit Malcom tel, er sagte mir das sie am Montag
einen Betriebsausflug machen und danach in den Puff gehen.
Dann rufen Sie euch ALLE an und entschuldigen sich für die schlechten Zahlen.....!!!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Damit mich keiner falsch versteht - habe selbst ASC und fragt besser nicht seit wann, AU AAAAAAAAAAAA

Naja mit Humor ists halb so schwer
CU Wolli

[stockrush]

Als Ex-Aktionär von ASC finde ich die Sache deshalb schlimm, weil das Vertrauen total am Boden ist !!!

Wer jetzt meint, günstig einsammeln zu können, soll das bitte tun.
Aber wer dann jammert,wenns dann doch nicht so klappt, tut mir in keinster Weise mehr leid !

Wenn man die Insidertransaktionen vor einigen Wochen sieht, weiss was hier gespielt wird.

By,

Danke für Deinen Input ! Genau das wäre das Richtige, wenn die australische Börsenaufsicht dem Ganzen Einhalt gebietet !



stockrush ...der in diesen Tagen glücklicherweise nicht zum 3ten Mal eingestiegen ist.

[speedy001]

mit 0,06 ist asc noch viel zu teuer,montag werden wir dei 0,03 sehen .

[spekulativ]

Und ich habe mich geärgert das ich bei 21cent verkauft habe.
Oh was geht hier bloß ab.

Gruß spekulativ der dies kaum glauben kann.

PS: Weiß nun garnicht ob ich noch kaufen soll.

[Teffie]

@all,

was meint ihr man könnte sich doch welche zu 0,064 zu legen es gibt doch bestimmt wieder eine Erholung auf ca. 0,1 € oder??

Wie seht ihr das?

[dutchoo]

Hallo speku,

das es so dick kommt hätten wir uns aber nicht gedacht.

Die Frage wird sein, ob ASC noch weitere Leichen im Keller hat, und wann diese zu stinken beginnen.

ASC ist meiner Meinung nur auf Zock Niveau zwischen 0,01 und
0,03 intersant, da ernsthafte Investoren diese Aktie noch
weiter umkreisen werden.

nice weekend
