Commenting on the first half of 2010 results, Michael Hansen, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “We are excited that our unique operating strategy successfully maintained momentum and growth during the first half of 2010. We have successfully commenced our US operations to one single location in Boca Raton. We believe that the execution of our prudent and measurable operating strategy will continue to widen the gap between DubLi and any potential competitors during a time where many established shopping portals are struggling due to lack of flexibility and scalability. Our comprehensive operating, growth and financial strategies of the entire DubLi universe are all designed to maximize our relationship with the end consumer and provide them with the best possible experience when visiting our site. We continue to deliver a superior product that has genuine value to the consumer which we believe will drive them to return to our model. One of our competitive advantages is that our business model allows us to offer whatever is in demand at a particular moment in time, regardless of economic issues, and without having to consider ties to any vendor or manufacturer.”
Kent Lee Holmstoel, Chief Operating Officer, continued “While executing on growth strategy we have simultaneously been investing considerable time, resources and capital into technology that we believe will set new trends for Internet shopping in the future. These investments include providing proper training and support of our sales and marketing engine, DubLi Network, as well as developing our global auction portal that will allow us to capitalize from consumers all over the globe. We are also focused on continuing to identify and take advantage of the changing dynamics of consumer behavior by giving them tangible aspects from which to continue to return to our portals.”
