Electronic Tele-Communications, Inc. (ETC) today reported its results for the fourth quarter and year 2004. Sales for the fourth quarter 2004 were $894,537 compared to $579,906 for the 2003 fourth quarter. Net earnings for the fourth quarter 2004 were $13,025 or $0.01 per Class A common share, compared to a loss of $219,738 or $0.09 per share for the fourth quarter of 2003. For the year 2004, ETC had a net loss of $31,354 or $0.01 per share on sales of $3,671,208, compared to a 2003 loss of $715,865 or $0.29 per share on sales of $3,026,479.

Commenting on the 2004 results, ETC President Dean Danner said, “The telecommunications equipment market finally began to recover in 2004 from what could be its worst recession in the last 50+ years, although it has not returned to the industry it was prior to the recession, and voice announcement system purchases continue to lag other parts of the market. ETC has now completed three profitable quarters in a row, but the recovery was not strong enough to overcome the first quarter’s loss.”

“In 2004, ETC improved its financial performance in terms of sales, earnings, and inventory levels. We generated positive cash flow for the year and are optimistic for continued improvements in 2005. We believe that the telecommunications industry is on the road to recovery, and we are continuing our efforts to make the Emcee and Z-10 products the products of choice with up to date features at competitive prices.” Danner said.

Electronic Tele-Communications is a supplier of voice application processing platforms to domestic and foreign telephone utilities and of messaging systems to the commercial market. ETC's equipment provides a wide range of audio information and call handling services via telephone networks, computer networks, and the Internet. ETC, with corporate headquarters in Waukesha, Wisconsin also has operations in Norcross, Georgia.
