ZIM Corporation reports second quarter 2012 financial results
OTTAWA, Nov. 14, 2011 /PRNewswire/ - ZIM Corporation (OTCBB: ZIMCF), a provider of software products and services for the database and mobile markets, today announced its financial results for its second quarter ended September 30, 2011. All figures presented are calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States and presented in US dollars.
Revenue for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 was $402,145, a decrease from $499,593 for the same period last year. The decrease in revenue is primarily attributable to a decrease in SMS messaging and mobile content revenue combined with the delay in revenue recognition of work in progress on consulting projects related to our migration software and services.
Net loss for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 was $44,466 or a basic and diluted loss per share of $0.000. The net income for the same period last year was $152,197 or a basic and diluted income per share of $0.001. The decrease in net income principally reflects a decrease in sales, software revenue recognition, delayed receipt of income tax credits related to research and development and a weakening US dollar.
"Minor project delays that did not allow us to recognize revenue in the quarter combined with the timing of accounting recognition of Scientific Research and Experimental Development tax credits resulted in the decline of revenue and profit this quarter " said Dr. Michael Cowpland, President and CEO of ZIM. " Given that the decline in overall financial performance is mainly a timing issue, I remain pleased with our operating performance and the interest that our customers continue to show in our enterprise products and services."
ZIM had cash and cash equivalents of $1,317,406 at September 30, 2011 as compared to cash and cash equivalents of $1,770,990 at March 31, 2011. The decline in cash and cash equivalents includes a non-realized cash loss of $169,561 related to the volatility of foreign exchange rates. It also reflects lower revenues, increased research and development expenditure and the investment in Connecting People for Health Co-operative Ltd.
