Mr. John Kneisel, chief financial officer of Simulations Plus, said: “Increased Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) expenses for 2QFY14 were due to increased commissions on sales to dealers in Asia, increases in salaries and wages, increases in costs related to trade shows and travel, and increases in consulting and professional fees. R&D expenses increased due to expansion of our scientific staff, as we add talent to improve our technological lead and bolster our consultative sales operations. A lower income tax rate for 2QFY14 resulted in a provision for income taxes of $334,000, compared to $511,000 in 2QFY13. In spite of distributing just over $800,000 in dividends during 2QFY14, cash today is nearly $11 million. Shareholders’ equity was $14.431 million at the end of 2QFY14 compared to $14.242 million on August 31, 2013.”

Walt Woltosz, chairman and chief executive officer of Simulations Plus, added: “As we announced with our preliminary revenues release on March 5, a customer decided to move a renewal order for a software license to the third quarter to synchronize it with their other licenses, and one study contract was delayed for legal review by another customer, for a total impact of approximately $350,000. Both of those orders have now been received and will, of course, bolster our third quarter. We have released ADMET Predictor™ 7.0, added another Ph.D. to our scientific team, and continue to interview to expand our staff and to seek opportunities to grow the business via acquisition. Our second NCE (new chemical entity) project for COX-2 (cyclooxygenase-2) and COX-1 enzyme targets was another resounding success, with all four molecules that were synthesized hitting both COX-2 and COX-1, and one having the desired attribute of significantly greater potency against COX-2 than COX-1.”
