Onlinetel and Eiger Net drove Eiger’s considerable revenue growth during the year. Onlinetel experienced record revenues in fiscal Q4 and 2003 as the company’s core operations shift increasingly towards the rapidly expanding residential market. Eiger Net’s dramatic revenue growth was primarily the result of increased consumer demand for its products due to the improving global economy. The financial statements and Management Discussion and Analysis for the 2003 fiscal year will be filed with SEDAR (www.sedar.com).
