The Company also estimates that its cash, cash-equivalents, short and long-term investments increased by approximately $6 million during the third quarter, reaching about $48 million as of September 30, 2010. "While the timing of specific contracts somewhat impacted our third quarter revenues which are anticipated to be 5% to 6% below plan, our business remains strong and we expect to close the gap with revenues of more than $20 million in the fourth quarter. On an annual basis we expect revenues to be in line with our previously stated guidance. We believe that most of the contracts that have been delayed will be booked in the near term. Our projection for the fourth quarter is based on a concrete list of prospects for which the sales process is in advanced stages, as well as repeat orders to fulfill customers' operational needs that we believe will be placed during that quarter," said Dr. Moshe BenBassat, ClickSoftware's Chairman and CEO. "We continue to see strong demand for our products, engage in new substantial partnerships and further develop our strong pipeline," he added. These preliminary results are based on ClickSoftware's initial analysis of operating results and are subject to change as additional financial information becomes available.
