EMAK Worldwide, Inc. (OTC: EMAK), a leading marketing services firm,
today announced that after the second quarter of 2010 its Equity
Marketing agency will no longer be an approved premiums manufacturing
agency of record for Burger King Corp. EMAK advises that the client loss
will not impact the Company's financial results for the current fiscal
year.
As reported in EMAK's financial statements, Burger King-related revenues
represent a significant portion of EMAK's total revenues.
"We're passionate about the marketing industry and have sharp insights
and expertise to share with our other clients," said Jim Holbrook,
EMAK's Chief Executive Officer. "As a family of marketing agencies, we
have significant resources in place to win exciting new clients. We are
also adding digital expertise to our ranks, which we will discuss more
in-depth in the coming weeks. As a company we are resilient, and our
commitment to our promotional products business is unswerving.
"Our expectations for positive EBITDA before charges and positive cash
flow for 2009 remain unchanged. We have ample cash and equivalents on
hand of approximately $13.5 million as of September 30, 2009, and a $7.5
million untapped bank line. We are in the process of evaluating the full
impact of the loss of Burger King. EMAK will release financial results
for the third quarter ended September 30 in late October, in line with
our normal reporting schedule. At that time we will discuss EMAK's plans
for 2010 and beyond," concluded Holbrook.
Peter Ackerman, Managing Director of Rockport Capital Inc. and EMAK's
preferred stockholder, added, "While the Burger King setback is
unfortunate, I am in full support of Jim and the entire management team
and look forward to supporting them as they grow the business."
