SANTA
MONICA, CA - June 26, 2018 (Investorideas.com Newswire) Gopher Protocol Inc. (OTCQB: GOPH)
("Gopher"), a company specializing in the creation of Internet of
Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence enabled mobile technologies, is
pleased to announce that its recent acquisitions, which now comprise its
fintech division, led by ECS, have been fully integrated.
ECS,
since the beginning of 2018 (cumulative through last week) did 2,274,195
transactions from 21,729 terminals of which 1,399,975 were billable amounting
to gross revenue of $24,863,692 (unaudited).
Looking
at the comparable 90 day period in 2017, ECS Prepaid had $7.5 million
(unaudited) in revenue while processing 813,000 transactions over an average of
5,300 locations. ECS Prepaid's revenue for the 90 days just prior to being
acquired by Gopher was $8.5 million (unaudited) while processing 859,400
transactions. For the 90 day period post acquisition by Gopher, ECS Prepaid's
revenue was $13.3 million (unaudited) while processing over 1.1 million
transactions, resulting in an increase in revenue of 77% over the comparable
period in 2017. Gopher intends to continue this pattern with recent agreements
for processing alignments, the addition of AT&T SIM Activation program, and
increased product margins on existing core products.
"ECS
Prepaid would be able to operate the ‘UGO doors' with little impact to our
current work flow with the addition of one new employee in the Springfield's
office for technical support" said Derron Winfrey, Gopher's COO. "The
UGO platform, which used third parties for processing transactions, will now
use the ECS platform reducing ACH transaction costs from $0.14 to $0.02, which
is expected to increase our profit margins" added Kevin Pickard, Gopher's
CFO.
As
a reminder on March 16, 2018, Gopher entered into and closed an Asset Purchase
Agreement dated March 1, 2018 (the "ECS Purchase Agreement") with ECS
