Our take:
ProLink continues to derive the vast majority of its revenue from sales and installation of equipment like GPS receivers, as is illustrated by their balance sheet and financials. The $100K they've earned through advertising revenue illustrates how difficult selling ads on digital signage systems can be, even when you have a good-sized footprint and a very specific target audience. However, the firm seems to be optimistic about its prospects in 2008 and beyond, and appears to be aggressively growing its footprint in golf courses around the world. We've seen very, very few global media buys on digital signage networks, but that's not to say that there won't be more in the future, particularly in such a cohesive set of venues.
