'The Third Quarter continued the revenue growth trends of their core businesses despite higher oil prices and two devastating hurricanes,' noted William H. Oyster, President and Chief Operating Officer of DGSE Companies Inc' Mr Oyster continued, 'Their American Pay Day Centers Inc in New Mexico are enjoying increasing loan balances and they expect them to reach break-even in the very near term.
Their rare coin business is accelerating and in the third quarter their US Bullion Exchange activities began to grow materially.
They are also very excited about the new location for their successful superstore in Charleston, South Carolina.
The new store has already enjoyed substantially better performance than at its prior location.
They are very enthusiastic about the fourth quarter and expect both revenues and earnings to significantly exceed last year's results.'
