SofTech Announces Q2 Fiscal Year 2012 Operating Results
Sequential Revenue Increase of 9% from Q4’11 & Q1’12;
EPS from Continuing Operations More Than Doubles to $.19
LOWELL, Mass. –January 11, 2012 – SofTech, Inc.(OTCQB: SOFT),a proven provider of Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) solutions today announced its second quarter fiscal 2012 operating results. Revenue for the three months ended November 30, 2011 was $1.7 million, down 6% from the same period in the prior fiscal year but an increase of 9% from the two immediately preceding quarters. Net income from continuing operations was $187,000 or $.19 per share for the three months ended November 30, 2011, a substantial increase from the net income from continuing operations of $58,000 or $.09 for the same period in the prior fiscal year.
Revenue for the six months ended November 30, 2011 was $3.3 million as compared to $3.6 million for the same period in the prior fiscal year, a decrease of 9%. Net income from continuing operations for the six months ended November 30, 2011 was $240,000 or $.24 per share as compared to $146,000 or $.24 per share for the same period in the prior fiscal year. The decline in year over year revenue for both the three and six month periods was due almost exclusively to one customer that migrated to a competitor’s solution in February 2011. Despite the 64% increase in net income from continuing operations, the corresponding earnings per share was unchanged as the weighted average shares outstanding for the six month period ended November 30, 2011 increased from 611,000 to 995,000 as a result of the March 2011 recapitalization.
Since the recapitalization transaction was completed on March 11, 2011 and the new management team assumed control, the following significant achievements have been attained:
·
Completed the audits for fiscal 2010 and 2011 as well as all quarterly reviews. Released financial results as each was completed and included in the Company's Registration Statement (No. 333-174818) declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 28, 2011;
·
Held our Annual Meeting for fiscal year 2010, obtained approval for 1-for-20 reverse stock split that was subsequently implemented in June 2011;
·
Regained status as a fully reporting public company;
·
Upgraded our listing tier on the OTC Market from OTCPink, a listing for speculative companies, to OTCQB, a listing for companies that are reporting in a timely manner;
·
Grew the revenue sequentially and improved profitability;
·
Reduced our long term debt by more than 17%; and
·
Initiated a business development program to identify potential business partners to leverage our technology, industry knowledge and customer relationships.
“While I am pleased with the progress made to date with the above accomplishments, the sequential revenue growth and improved profitability, I believe there are significant new opportunities for us to grow profitably,” said Joe Mullaney, President and CEO. “We have great technology, a fantastic customer base and a deeply experienced and long tenured employee group that form a rock-solid foundation from which to build shareholder value,” he added.

Forward Looking Statements
This press release contains forward-looking statements relating to, among other matters, our outlook for fiscal year 2012 and beyond.In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “projects,” “predicts,” “potential” and similar expressions intended to identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based on estimates, projections, beliefs, and assumptions and are not guarantees of future events or results. Actual future events and results could differ materially from the events and results indicated in these statements as a result of many factors, including, among others, (1) generate sufficient cash flow from our operations or other sources to fund our working capital needs and growth initiatives; (2)(ii) maintain good relationships with our lender; (3) comply with the covenant requirements of the loan agreement; (4) successfully introduce and attain market acceptance of any new products and/or enhancements of existing products; (5) attract and retain qualified personnel; (6) prevent obsolescence of our technologies; (7) maintain agreements with our critical software vendors; (8) secure renewals of existing software maintenance contracts, as well as contracts with new maintenance customers; and (9) secure new business, both from existing and new customers.
These and other additional factors that may cause actual future events and results to differ materially from the events and results indicated in the forward-looking statements above are set forth more fully under “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Form S-1 Registration Statement (No. 333-174818) and the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended November 30 , 2011. The Company undertakes no obligation to update these forward-looking statements to reflect actual results, changes in assumptions or changes in other factors that may affect such forward-looking statements.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to financial measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), this press release also contains non-GAAP financial measures. Specifically, the Company has presented EBITDA, which is defined as Net income plus interest expense, tax expense and non-cash expenses such as depreciation, amortization and stock based compensation expense. The Company believes that the inclusion of EBITDA helps investors to gain a meaningful understanding of the Company’s core operating results and enhance comparing such performance with prior periods, without the distortion of non-operating expenses and non-cash expenditures. Management uses EBITDA, in addition to GAAP financial measures, as the basis for measuring our core operating performance and comparing such performance to that of prior periods. EBITDA is also the most important measure of performance in measuring compliance with the Company’s debt facilities. EBITDA is not meant to be considered superior to or a substitute for results of operations prepared in accordance with GAAP. Reconciliations of EBITDA to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are set forth in the text of, and the accompanying tables to, this press release.
