CIC Reports Second Quarter 2011 Results

REDWOOD SHORES, Calif., Aug. 15, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Communication Intelligence Corporation ("CIC" or the "Company") (OTCQB: CICI), a leading supplier of electronic signature solutions and the recognized leader in biometric signature verification, reported today total revenue of $326,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2011, an increase of $113,000 or 53%, compared to total revenue of $213,000 for the same quarter in the prior year. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, total revenues were $604,000, an increase of $185,000 or 44%, compared to total revenue of $419,000 for the same period in the prior year.

"We are pleased that our remedial actions continue to show modest signs of improvement," stated Philip Sassower, CIC's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "In addition to achieving our third consecutive quarter of revenue growth, CIC's product revenues for the first six months of 2011 were approximately 56% greater than product revenues for all of 2010. During the quarter, we also closed the first sale of our iSign Mobility Suite, which was another step in the direction of a recurring revenue model. While the growth in sales remains relatively small, we view these achievements as confirmation that CIC is on the right track and will continue our efforts to grow both our direct and channel sales and to improve and expand our technology with a view to making it available to an increasing number of clients."

For the quarter ended June 30, 2011, operating expenses were $1,444,000, an increase of $124,000, or 9%, compared to operating expenses of $1,320,000 for the same quarter in the prior year. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, operating expenses were $2,975,000, an increase of $504,000, or 20%, compared to operating expenses of $2,471,000 for the same quarter in the prior year. The comparative increases in operating costs were primarily due to higher research and development expenses caused by investment in the Company's cloud deployment and by reductions in the amount of software development cost capitalized.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2011, the net loss attributable to common stockholders was $1,362,000, a decrease of $273,000, or 17%, compared to a net loss attributable to common stockholders of $1,635,000 for the same period in the prior year. This decrease was primarily due to conversion of the Company's debt into preferred stock.

For the six months ended June 30, 2011, the net loss attributable to common stockholders was $3,768,000, an increase of $456,000, or 14%, compared to a net loss attributable to common stockholders of $3,312,000 for the same period in the prior year. This increase was primarily due to the non-cash, intrinsic value of the conversion feature associated with dividends paid on the Company's Series B and Series C Preferred Stock and with the 800 shares of Series C Preferred Stock sold on March 31, 2011, as well as the above described increase in operating expenses, as offset by lower interest and debt amortization expenses in comparison to the same period last year.

Additional financial information regarding CIC's operating results for the quarter ended June 30, 2011, will be available in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and available at www.sec.gov.
