"The 2nd quarter 2008, was active on several fronts. Operationally, delivering and further building our motor racing activities segment captured a large part of our focus. Efforts at better execution and broader penetration, especially in F1, led to increased activation levels and new revenue sources through sponsorship and exclusive content delivery. We are encouraged by the traction we are experiencing. In golf, an area we are aggressively targeting, we successfully showcased Kangaroo TV at THE PLAYERS golf tournament. While we are focused on the top line, our drive for better execution is also helping us review our costs and strive for more effective returns on these costs," said Robert Mimeault , President and COO of Kangaroo Media Inc.
Commenting on the new business perspective, Mimeault added: "We have been engaging current and prospective partners along the lines of a more sustainable and profitable business model for the company. As a result, discussions have been more extensive and more time-consuming but the new business perspective remains positive. Our principal focus for the balance of 2008 is to continue to develop additional revenue streams both through deeper market penetration of the properties in which we operate and through the addition of new top tier sports properties." -- www.cnxmarketlink.com
