Financial Highlights
Three Month Comparative Results
The Company reported revenue of approximately $1.6 million for three months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to approximately $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and approximately $2.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2012. Gross margin(2) was 48% for the three months ended June 30, 2013, which was higher than 25% for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and higher than the gross margin experienced of 43% for the three months ended June 30, 2012. The increase in gross margin percentage over the comparative periods is due to higher utilization on customer projects.
Total expenses (excluding other operating expenses)(3) for the three months ended June 30, 2013 were approximately $2.0 million which was an increase of 83% over the preceding three months ended March 31, 2013 and an 85% increase over the three months ended June 30, 2012. The increase in total operating expenses in the second quarter of fiscal 2013 was due primarily to non-core business administration costs of approx. $1.3 million incurred by the Company pertaining to the shareholder proxy contest and strategic initiatives of the Company.
EBITDA for the three months ended June 30, 2013 was ($1,232,557) compared to ($791,740) for the previous three months ended March 31, 2013 and ($143,703) for the three months ended June 30, 2012.
Six Month Comparative Results
The Company reported revenue of approximately $2.8 million for six months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to approximately $4.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. Gross margin was 38% for the six months ended June 30, 2013, which was lower than the gross margin experienced of 41% for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The decrease in gross margin percentage over the comparative period is primarily due to lower software sales which have higher margins and a decrease in utilization of engineering resources over the same period in the prior year.
Total expenses (excluding other operating expenses) for the six months ended June 30, 2013 were approximately $3.1 million which was an increase of 45% over the six months ended June 30, 2012. The increase in total operating expenses was due primarily to the Company incurring non-core business administration costs of approximately $1.7 million pertaining to the shareholder proxy contest and strategic initiatives of the Company during the first two quarters of fiscal 2013.
EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was ($2,024,297) compared to ($347,763) for the six months ended June 30, 2012.
Working capital(4) as of June 30, 2013 was approximately $9.1 million (which included cash and cash equivalents of approximately $5.4 million and short-term investments of approximately $4.0 million). This is compared to net working capital of approximately $11.4 million as of December 31, 2012 (which included cash and cash equivalents of approximately $6.0 million and short-term investments of approximately $5.3 million).
