Intelligent Systems Announces Second Quarter 2005 Results
Earnings Conference Call at 11 AM Today
NORCROSS, Ga., Aug. 11, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- Intelligent Systems Corporation (AMEX:INS) (www.intelsys.com) announced today its financial results for the second quarter and year-to-date periods ended June 30, 2005.
For the three months ended June 30, 2005, the company recorded revenue of $4.7 million, a 39 percent increase compared to revenue of $3.3 million for the same period in 2004. Net income for the three-month period in 2005 was $695,000 or $0.16 per basic share ($0.15 per diluted share), a significant improvement compared to a net loss of $2.2 million or $0.49 per basic and diluted share in 2004.
For the six-month period ended June 30, 2005, the company recorded revenue of $8.2 million, a 4 percent increase compared to the same period last year. Net income for the six month period in 2005 was $476,000 or $0.11 per basic share ($0.10 per diluted share), compared to a net loss of $3.0 million or $0.68 per basic and diluted share in the six-month period of 2004.
The increase in revenue in the second quarter of 2005 compared to the same period last year reflects both an increase in software license revenue as well as professional services and software maintenance revenue at the company's VISaer and QS Technologies subsidiaries. The company reduced its loss from operations by 86 percent and 43 percent in the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2005, respectively, compared to the loss from operations in the corresponding periods in 2004 as a result of growing revenue while reducing the company's total costs and expenses.
In the second quarter and year-to-date periods ended June 30, 2005, the company recorded investment income of $914,000 and $1,956,000, respectively, reflecting principally cash distributions from ISC Guernsey, a minority-owned entity that realized a significant gain from the sale of stock in a U.K.-based company in 2004. The company does not expect any additional cash distributions from ISC Guernsey in the future.
At June 30, 2005, the company's balance sheet includes $5.8 million in current net deferred revenue comprised of amounts recorded by its four consolidated subsidiaries, net of associated costs, that are expected to be recognized as revenue within the next twelve months.
