ELECTRONIC TELE-COMMUNICATIONS, INC.	Symbol – ETCIA

Electronic Tele-Communications, Inc. (ETC) today reports its fourth quarter and year end results for 2015. Sales for the quarter were $213,527 compared to $256,165 for the fourth quarter of 2014. The net earnings for the quarter were $41,800 or $0.01 per Class A common share, compared to a net loss of $51,678 or $0.02 per Class A common share for the fourth quarter of 2014. Sales for 2015 were $837,845, compared to $1,476,748 for 2014. The net loss for 2015 was $290,116 or $0.12 per Class A common share, compared to a net loss for 2014 of $97,135 or $0.04 per Class A common share.

ETC President Elizabeth Danner commented on the results saying, "The reduction in employment levels and related expenses along with year-end equipment sales allowed ETC to show a profit for the fourth quarter. However, that was not enough to off-set the losses over the previous nine months of 2015, which was reflected in the loss for the year. Sales of the Digicept Emcee® have continued to improve in the first quarter of 2016 and the cost-reduction controls remain in effect. Both cash flows and earnings are currently ahead of where they were at this time in 2015."
