Notify Technology Reports Results for the First Fiscal Quarter Ended December 31, 2009
Total company revenue increases by 33% over the same quarter in prior year.
SAN JOSE, Calif., Feb. 11 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Notify Technology Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: NTFY) today announced financial results for its first fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2009.
Total fiscal first quarter revenue increased 33% to $1,796,645 in the three-month period ended December 31, 2009 from $1,349,261 during the same period in the prior year. The net income for the three month period ended December 31, 2009 was $131,653 or $0.01 per diluted share. The company's financial performance is a clear improvement from a net loss of $60,650, or $(0.00) per diluted share, reported for the same period in the prior year.
"It gives me great pleasure to report the financial results of our first fiscal quarter of 2010. We have been steadily making progress toward continued quarter to quarter profitability and increasing our available cash. Not only have we achieved our third consecutive profitable quarter, but in September 2009, we also recorded our first profitable year," said Paul DePond, President and Chief Executive Officer of the company. "The wireless smart phone market has shown unprecedented growth and new devices are entering the market at an astounding rate. Business professionals continue to upgrade their traditional cell phone for a more feature rich smart phone thereby creating the need for our wireless products. We are pleased that both NotifyLink™ and NotifySync™ product revenues have continued to increase quarter to quarter in spite of the challenging economic conditions of the past year."
The increase in net income for the fiscal first quarter was largely attributable to the 33% growth in the company's total revenue over the same period in the prior year. The company also experienced a 62% increase in cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2009 as compared to cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2008. The company's deferred revenue balance at December 31, 2009 was 24% higher than the comparable balance at December 31, 2008. Management believes that this increase signifies that the company closed new contracts during fiscal 2009 and now again in fiscal 2010 at a rate faster than its old contracts expired, explaining the improvements on both the statement of operations and the balance sheet.
Sales and marketing expenses were $715,990 in the three-month period ended December 31, 2009 compared to $562,249 in the three-month period ended December 31, 2008. The increase was primarily the result of an increase in salary and commission expenses related to ongoing business and the launch of the new NotifySync™ product in January 2009.
The Company expended $453,850 for research and development in the three-month period ended December 31, 2009 compared to $479,915 in the three-month period ended December 31, 2008.
General and administrative costs increased to $485,184 in the three-month period ended December 31, 2009 compared to $329,919 for the three-month period ended December 31, 2008. The increase was due to non-cash compensation expense due to option vesting, compensation expense, legal expenses, rent and depreciation.
