Fiscal 2011 Fourth Quarter Results

Revenue for the fiscal 2011 fourth quarter was $15.1 million compared with $18.1 million in the comparable period in fiscal 2010.  Gross margin for the fiscal 2011 fourth quarter was 56% versus 62% last year, reflecting a lower base of sales to support the fixed costs as well as a lower concentration of software sales than in the prior year.

Operating expenses amounted to $10.3 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011, compared with $9.7 million in the prior-year period.  The majority of the increase was due to higher exchange rates and non-cash expenses related to share-based compensation and depreciation.

The company reported a net loss of $1.4 million, or $0.16 per share, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011, compared with net income of $886,000, or $0.11 per diluted share, in the same quarter of the prior fiscal year.

For fiscal year 2011, revenue increased over 10% to $66.8 million from $60.4 million a year ago. Consolidated gross margin was 56%, compared with 60% for fiscal year 2010. Operating expenses for fiscal year 2011 were $40.1 million, compared with $36.7 million last fiscal year.  The company posted a net loss of $3.3 million, equal to $0.39 per share, in fiscal year 2011, compared with a net loss of $1.0 million, equal to $0.12 per share in fiscal year 2010.
