Business Wire
American Mold Guard, Inc. (NasdaqSC: AMGI, AMGIW, AMGIZ), an
industry leader in the field of mold prevention services, today
announced that it expects its net sales for the third quarter
ending September 30, 2006 to be below the target it provided during
its earnings conference call on July 25, 2006. On that call, the
company forecasted that third quarter net sales would be in the
range of $3.1 to $3.6 million or a 20 to 40 percent increase from
the second quarter of 2006. The company now believes that third
quarter net sales will be in the range of $2.1 to $2.3 million or
down 11 to 19 percent from the second quarter of 2006. For the nine
months ended September 30, 2006, the company is forecasting
approximately 80% net sales growth versus the same period a year
ago. "During the quarter, builders delayed new housing starts due
to declining sales and excess inventory," said Tom Blakeley, chief
executive officer of American Mold Guard. "In California and
Florida where the company is established, the inventory correction
was more severe than what we originally anticipated. Although we
are having success securing new customers in these regions, in the
near term it is not enough to offset the effect of reduced new
housing starts." "Our Gulf restoration business has seen steady
growth since last year. As we entered the quarter we expected the
pace of the Gulf restoration to continue along this trend. However,
during the quarter, homeowners and businesses in the most
devastated areas took a wait-and-see-approach at the start of the
hurricane season that has slowed the rate of growth in our
restoration business. We would expect this business to pick up,
post-hurricane season provided that the area is not impacted by
another major storm," said Mr. Blakeley. "As a company, we remain
focused on growing sales by offering customers a product, service
and warranty for mold prevention that is unmatched in the market
place. We have expanded our footprint with the opening of five new
service centers in the second quarter of this year and with the new
Midwest region announced in July. We are also leveraging our
business model by increasing our focus on the multifamily business.
These efforts are designed to increase the customer base we service
which ultimately should benefit the company exponentially when the
housing market strengthens," added Mr. Blakeley. "Achieving
profitability continues to be a key focus of the company. In the
third quarter, we implemented several productivity improvements
aimed at margin expansion and we have put in place proactive cost
controls to optimize SG&A spending," concluded Mr. Blakeley.
American Mold Guard will release its financial results for the
third quarter on October 19, 2006. At that time, the company will
provide more details on its business. About American Mold Guard
