Kanakaris in Strongest Cash Position Ever Following 10QSB Filing
COSTA MESA, Calif., May 14 /PRNewswire/ -- Kanakaris Communications, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: KKRS - news) stated on May 14, 2000, that it is in ``its strongest cash position ever, and ready to take advantage of potential opportunities for expansion and acquisition,'' according to CEO Alex Kanakaris, following the filing of SEC form 10QSB for the 1st Qtr., 2000.
``We are on track with our business plan and have successfully completed the building of our online virtual theater, www.CinemaPop.com. As a result of the foundation we invested heavily in during the first fiscal quarter of 2000, Kanakaris is in a unique position to explore expansion and acquisition possibilities,'' said Kanakaris.
``Because of large audience increases to our web site www.CinemaPop.com over the past six months, as well as the growth of our online content, several positive events for Kanakaris happened subsequent to the close of the Quarter,'' said Kanakaris.
Specifically, Kanakaris cited the following developments which occurred after March 31, 2000:
In April 2000, Kanakaris successfully completed a $3 million funding arranged by the NIR Group.
April 2000 was the first full month where Kanakaris made available its $4.95 monthly subscriptions to CinemaPop.com.
Kanakaris added 80 feature films, TV shows and shorts to its web site.
Currently, Kanakaris is:
Completing development of its Movie Partner Program which will provide subscription, pay-per-view and advertising revenue sharing with other web sites. The Company has hired James Golff to manage the program.
Hiring regional sales reps for its Desience computer command center division.
Creating a data base of its Internet audience.
Kanakaris also points out that it is required under SEC guidelines to account for the issuance of restricted stock for consulting services as a bottom line expense the same as if cash was paid out. This means that stated losses in the form 10QSB are larger than cash losses.
``As some of the dot commers become dot goners, Kanakaris is confident that it has staying power and the strength to grow and take advantage of new opportunities,'' stated CEO Alex Kanakaris.
``We have never been a dot com company per se but rather an entertainment content company innovating in direct over-the-Internet delivery of this content. This will become even more clear in coming weeks,'' he added.
