Guy Nissenson, President and CEO of XFONE, stated, “During the quarter, we continued to see significant overall growth driven by strong performance from our UK and Israeli operations. The increased revenues coupled with lower fixed costs continue the enhanced margins and meaningful profitability that we saw in the first quarter of this year. We achieved this despite a higher than expected attrition of US dial-up customers for the quarter. We continued to make significant investments in sales and marketing to drive organic growth across our company, and remain very focused on organic growth and attracting small business customers. Furthermore, we continue to evaluate acquisition candidates to help add scale to our business as we look to build a multi-hundred million dollar international telecom company.”
