The Company generated the third highest quarterly revenue in the company’s history and is now in the strongest financial position in its history. It is anticipated that Armada will continue to experience revenue and net income growth, moving forward.
Overall revenue was down slightly to $743,551 versus a record $746,695 last year or a decrease of less than 1%. Four out of five of the Company’s divisions reported improved results.
IT Services became Armada’s newest division after the acquisition of Cybernetfinder Corporation’s business assets. The acquisition was completed on July 21, 2010, approximately five weeks prior to the end of the quarter. Therefore, its revenue contribution to the Company’s quarterly results was only $28,160.
Total operational expenses increased to $581,728 from $566,823 last year or an increase of 3%. The majority of the increase can be attributed to the costs associated with integrating the new IT Services division into the Company.
Advertising and business promotion expenses decreased to $104,804 from $134,582 last year or a decrease of 22%.  The majority of other expenses changed notionally compared to last year.
Subsequent to the first quarter, the Company declared a dividend in the amount of $0.005 per common share to all shareholders of record as at October 22nd, 2010. Based upon the results of the first quarter, it is the Company’s intention to increase its yearly dividend. Amount to be determined at year end.
“After 10 years of operations, I am pleased to report another very successful quarter. We are now experiencing some of the potential that our business model holds. For that I thank my entire team and look forward to reporting continued success to our shareholders in the coming quarters.” commented Paul Timoteo, President and CFO.
Outlook and Investor Highlights
Armada Data continues to attain a number of important fiscal and operational achievements, which include:

  • The Company continues to diversify its revenue streams to ensure continued success
  • Retail & Dealer Services continue to generate over 58% of revenues
  • Insurance Services continue to generate the highest revenue of all divisions
  • Company remains virtually debt free
  • Company continues to strengthen its balance sheet
  • Company assets now approaching $2,000,000
  • Company liabilities under $500,000
  • Company cash reserves now over $1,100,000
  • Shareholder’s equity now over $1,500,000
  • Company has generated over $475,000 of net income over the last 8 quarters
  • Company continues to be one of the very few micro-cap companies to pay an annual dividend 

Management believes that Armada Data Corporation, with its financial resources, is poised for significant growth as it grows its niche markets in all aspects of its Internet and traditionally based businesses.
It is expected that Management can meet these objectives regardless of economic conditions. Although a robust economy can lead to a greater number of cars sold and thus a potentially larger market opportunity for all of Armada’s divisions, a down economy has proven to have an equally positive impact as both individuals and insurance companies become more cost conscious.
