The increase in sales from the nine months 1999 to the nine months 2000 was due to the acquisition of Maximum Return and higher year to date sales of voice and data products and services. The third quarter was transitional for the sales force. To maximize direct sales results, the company has been implementing sales improvement programs, including a marketing campaign, lead generation and customer acquisition efforts, and sales force training. The decrease in net loss for both the three months and nine months from the respective year earlier periods was primarily due to a one-time adjustment canceling stock to employees, officers and directors.

"This puts our oil and gas operations firmly behind us, and allows us to move ahead with a clear communication strategy," said Majed Jalali, chief executive officer of 2-Infinity. "This will allow us an even greater focus on growing sales in the under-served Houston market."
