CEO Glen Dall commented, “I am pleased with our results this quarter and through the first nine months of 2013. The investments we made in sales and technology are beginning to pay out, as can be seen with our 40% growth in year-to-date sales as compared to 2012, and the improvement in gross margin accompanying those higher sales. We believe the results of the Company’s tender offer, while resulting in the tender of fewer shares than we had anticipated, demonstrate that our shareholders support the Company and share our optimism for about the future. Our reconstituted board is supportive of our initiatives and providing valuable leadership as we move into the next phase of our Company’s transformation.”
Mr. Dall continued, “Our relationships with News America and Valassis continue to be productive. Fourth quarter bookings are approximately $5.8 million with three weeks left to sell. We continue to maintain sales focus to help our Company be profitable in the fourth quarter and complete a very successful year. While we do not expect to achieve the high growth rate next year that we have seen in 2013, we will continue to place resources on developing future products and strategies to provide necessary diversification in our product offerings.”
Selected Financial Information
CFO John Gonsior stated, “Our balance sheet remains strong, with over $21.4 million in working capital, versus $21.8 million at December 31, 2012. As of September 30, 2013, we had cash and cash equivalents balances of $20.7 million, versus $20.3 million at December 31, 2012. Gross profit has continued its positive trend, staying above 45% for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013. Additionally, given the large increase in sales, combined with fourth quarter bookings, certain performance-based compensation accruals were triggered in the third quarter, which increased our expenses.”
