White Plains, NY (PRWEB) September 13, 2004 -- eLEC Communications Corp. (OTCBB:ELEC) today announced that it experienced an increase of 59% in local access lines at the end of the third fiscal quarter ended August 31, 2004 over the number of lines at the end of the second quarter. This increase resulted in total billings to customers for the month of August 2004 of approximately $990,000, as compared to total billings for the month of May 2004 of approximately $587,000, or an increase in monthly billings of $403,000, or 69%. Although billings to customers deviates somewhat from revenues because certain telephone services are billed in advance, the growth in the number of lines and the growth in the total billings are indicative of the revenue growth that is expected. Revenue numbers will be available when the quarterly results are announced.
eLEC CEO Paul Riss stated, We are pleased that we have reached the billing level of almost $1 million a month. With AT&T (NYSE:T) and MCI (NASDAQ:MCIP) announcing cutbacks in the marketing of their residential phone service, we find customers very receptive to our telephone service offerings. In addition to our growth in revenues, we have been able to maintain strong gross profit margins because we continue to focus our marketing efforts on geographical areas in which our costs of services are less than they are in other areas. Our size and flexibility gives us an advantage over the larger competitive carriers with regard to maintaining overall gross margins."
