HERZLIYA, Israel, May 11 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- VocalTec Communications Ltd. (Nasdaq: VOCL), a global provider of VoIP and convergence solutions for communications service providers, today reported results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2010.

Revenues for the first quarter of 2010 were $1.7 million, an increase of 63% over the $1.0 million reported in the first quarter of 2009, resulting from growth in product sales.

Gross margin for the first quarter of 2010 was 61% compared with 64% for the first quarter of 2009.

The non-GAAP financial measures included below exclude the amortization of intangible assets and share based compensation expenses, which amounted to $0.2 million in the quarter.

On a non-GAAP basis, operating expenses in the first quarter of 2010 were $2.1 million compared with $1.9 million in the first quarter of 2009. The increase in operating expenses was primarily attributed to expenses relating to the new mobile activity as a result of the Outsmart acquisition.

On a non-GAAP basis, operating loss for the first quarter of 2010 was $1.0 million compared to a non-GAAP operating loss of $1.2 million in the first quarter of 2009.

On a non-GAAP basis, net loss for the first quarter of 2010 was $1.1 million or $0.19 per share, compared with a non-GAAP net loss of $1.1 million, or $0.17 per share, in the first quarter of 2009.

Net loss on a GAAP basis for the first quarter of 2010 was $1.3 million or $0.22 per share, compared with a net loss of $1.5 million, or $0.21 per share, in the first quarter of 2009. In the first quarter of 2010, amortization of intangible assets and share based compensation expenses amounted to $0.03 per share.

As of March 31, 2010, the Company had net cash and cash equivalents, short-term bank deposits and restricted cash on the balance sheet, in the amount of $8.9 million, or $1.51 per share.

Commenting on the results, Ido Gur, VocalTec's President and CEO, said, "Our first quarter 2010 results marks a strong year over year improvement in revenues, and we believe is a good start to 2010. Our expenses increased during the quarter due to our increased investment in our new mobile activity in which we see significant potential. As the year progresses and we realize many of the synergies of our recent acquisition, we plan our quarterly operating expenses to fall to the 2009 levels."

Mr. Gur continued, "We are on track to achieve accelerated growth in our 2010 revenues compared to 2009, and we remain focused on our goal of sustained profitability. In parallel to our ongoing activity, we are investing in our ability to capitalize on mobile VoIP, which represents a significant growth market for us. Based on feedback from potential customers, we see strong interest in our current mobile VoIP offering, increasing our confidence level in our strategic direction."

*To supplement our consolidated financial statement presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), we use NON-GAAP measures of operating results, net income, which are adjusted from results based on GAAP to exclude the expense we recorded for share-based compensation and amortization of intangible assets. These NON-GAAP financial measures are provided to enhance overall understanding of our current financial performance and our prospects for the future. Specifically, we believe the NON-GAAP results provide useful information to both management and investors as these NON- GAAP results exclude matters that we believe are not indicative of our core operating results. Further, these NON-GAAP results are one of the primary indicators management uses for assessing our performance, allocating resources and planning and forecasting future periods. These measures should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for or superior to GAAP results. These NON-GAAP measures may be different than the NON-GAAP measures used by other companies.
