“2013 has been an important year from both a business and strategic perspective,” commented Arie Trabelsi, CEO of SuperCom. “In the fourth quarter, we invested substantial resources and funds to acquire and merge the operations of the SmartID division. We have worked hard to consolidate our operations in order to unlock the untapped potential and realize the true value of the combined business. In 2014, we have already received new orders and won new business which will positively contribute to our results.”

 

Continued Mr. Trabelsi, “From a financial perspective, 2013 was also a good year. We ended the year raising money through a secondary offering which increased our working capital, strengthened our balance sheet and financed the acquisition.
