Odyssey Pictures Corp. Posts First Profitable Year Since 1992
Company's 2008 10K Filing Reflects Expanded Business Model
PLANO, Texas, Sept. 2 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Odyssey Pictures Corporation (Pink Sheets: OPIX) (Odyssey), a media/marketing company, recently announced in its audited financial statements filed with the Company's annual report with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the results for its fiscal year ending June 30, 2008. The Company posted profits for the first time since June 30, 1992. Gross revenues for 2008 of $400,000 generated $158,000 in profits after operating expenses and credits resulting from settlements.
General overhead and administrative expenses decreased to $278,500 for 2008, from $409,200 in 2007. This was partially due to Odyssey successfully negotiating full settlements of long-standing litigation matters and outstanding judgments.
Although primarily an entertainment company that focused on the financing and distribution of motion pictures, Odyssey has adapted its business model over the past two years and committed itself to becoming a diversified media/marketing services company. The Company's business now encompasses branding & marketing services, web site design and online business development services. Odyssey's reported earnings in fiscal 2008 are the result of a branding & marketing contract with a U.K. based client. Odyssey's other areas of planned expansion include entertainment content acquisition, IPTV digital delivery technologies, IT platform management, and corporate finance.
Odyssey's President/CEO John Foster stated, "The combination of the new revenue base and ongoing settlements will greatly assist Odyssey in establishing itself as a competitive and profitable player in the media and web branding markets."
