or $0.01 per share, down $48,948, or 33%, from the same period a year ago when
it reported net income of $149,727 or $0.09 per share.
Contract revenue earned for the nine months ending September 30, 2000 was
$8,479,930, up 9%, or $665,972, from $7,813,958 the same period a year ago. Net
income for the period was $438,237, or $0.22 per share, up $1,743,552 from the
same period a year ago when the Company reported a net loss of $1,305,315, or
($1.97) per share. The previous year's figures include a one-time pre-tax charge
of $3.2 million ($1.9 million after-tax) related to the Company settling its
litigation with the State of Hawaii. Net income for the nine months ending
September 30, 1999, not considering this one-time charge, would have been
$568,917, or $0.42 per share.
Kenneth C. Kirsch, President and CEO commented, "Our state government business
continues to remain solid and we are pleased that all three of our major
customers have renewed our contracts for another year. Development of our
private sector business, on the other hand, continues to take longer than
expected. We are seeing some discretionary IT spending delayed as companies
re-evaluate their own e-business plans. At the same time, we are excited about
our recently announced acceptance into Allaire Corporation's Alliance Partner
program and believe it will lead to new e-business opportunities in the months
ahead."
James J. Ferry, Vice President of Finance & Administration, CFO and Treasurer
added, "Our financial position continues to improve as a result of strong cash
flow. For the nine months ending September 30, 2000, we generated $719,832 of
cash flow, reduced long-term debt by $328,916 and finished the quarter with $3.2
million of cash on hand."
