We are very pleased with our continued sales growth," said Paul Hickey, Chief Executive Officer of Q Comm International. We are building all facets of our business in order to continue our growth. Based on third-quarter sales, we have an annual run rate in excess of $22 million. We feel very fortunate to be one of the few companies thriving in this difficult economy.

One of the many reasons that our sales continue to climb is the repeat nature of our business. Once we install Qxpress terminals in retail locations, our partner merchants generally continue selling through them from one month to the next. And because of the growing popularity of prepaid wireless and other products, merchants customer bases and sales volumes should increase over time, resulting in increased sales for Q Comm.

Also contributing to sales growth is the fact that we continue to build our retail network by adding record numbers of new merchants.

We are also happy to report an addition to our management team. Michael Openshaw has joined us as Chief Financial Officer. He brings us valuable work experience in the area of finance to help pave the way to continued growth and success. His expertise in finance, planning, budgeting and other areas further strengthens our management team and increases our abilities to execute expansion plans."
