First Quarter Financial Review:

Revenues were $6,162,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared with $6,602,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2010, a decrease of $440,000 or 6.7%. Operating income decreased $332,000 or 27.6% to $874,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2011, as compared to income of $1,206,000 for September 30, 2010. Income before income taxes was increased $234,000 or 31.8% to $971,000 as compared to income of $737,000 in the prior fiscal quarter. Net income after taxes increased $294,000 or 67.3% to $731,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 vs. income of $437,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2010. Basic and Diluted earnings per share were $0.05 versus $0.05 per share for the same year ago period.

Revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 decreased $440,000, or 6.7%, resulting from a combination of (i) decreased revenue from our U.S. operations of $65,000 and (ii) a decrease in revenue of 356,000GBP from our U.K. subsidiary. U.S. revenue decreased $65,000 to $1,520,000 in 2011 from $1,585,000 in 2010 because of decreased sales of software and professional services, which were partially offset by an increase in the recurring revenue of $109,000. U.K. Revenue decreased 356,000GBP, or 11.0%, to 2,881,000GBP during the three months ended September 30, 2011 from 3,237,000GBP during the three months ended September 30, 2010. UK recurring revenue increased $342,000 and partially offset the decrease in software and professional services revenue. The weaker U.S. dollar resulted in UK dollar-denominated revenue of $4,642,000 during 2011 as compared to $5,017,000 during 2010, a decrease of $375,000.

Gross margins for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 were 56.5% vs. 57.7% for the quarter ended September 30, 2010.

Business Update:

Commenting on the first quarter of fiscal 2012, MAM's CEO, Michael Jamieson, said, "The Company experienced a decrease in revenues and a reduction in profit margins while also reducing operating expenses, which resulted in a decrease in operating income of $332,000 to $874,000. The Company's U.S. based recurring revenues increased to $1,130,000 from $1,021,000 an increase of $109,000 or 11% for the quarters ended September 30, 2011 and 2011 respectively. The Company's UK subsidiary, MAM Software Limited, increased recurring revenue $342,000 or 12%, to $3,228,000 vs. $2,886,000 for quarters ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 respectively." Mr. Jamieson also added, "We continued our strategic development, building on the results achieved in Fiscal 2011. We were particularly pleased with the progress that we made with our 'cloud' based application, Autowork Online in the UK. Subscribers to Autowork Online have increased each month of this quarter and now total 2,380. Revenues from Autowork Online totaled $171,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2011, a $15,000 or 9.6% quarter-over-quarter revenue growth from June 30, 2011." Mr. Jamieson further elaborated that "the Company increased its cash position by $766,000 to $3,536,000, decreased debt by $234,000 to $1,628,000, and increased Stockholders' Equity by 6% to $12,155,000. Furthermore, the first quarter produced an Adjusted EBITDA of $1,387,000 versus $1,608,000 for the quarter ending September 30, 2010, a decrease of 14%."

The Company also announced that its Board of Directors has authorized the repurchase of up to $250,000 of its common stock, effective November 8, 2011. Under the authorization provided by the Board, stock repurchases may be made through open market and privately negotiated transactions at times and in such amounts as management deems appropriate. The timing and actual number of shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors, including price, MAM's cash balances, general business and market conditions, the dilutive effects of share-based incentive plans, alternative investment opportunities and working capital needs. The stock repurchase authorization, which does not require the Company to purchase any specific or minimum number of shares, does not have an expiration date and may be suspended or terminated at any time without prior notice. Repurchased shares will be returned to the status of authorized but un-issued shares of common stock.

As of November 7, 2011, MAM had approximately 14,296,269 shares of common stock outstanding.
