Park City Group Reports Second Quarter Financial Results

Material Financial Contributions from the Recently Completed Accretive Merger of
Prescient Applied Intelligence to Commence in Fiscal Q3

PARK CITY, UT – Feb. 23, 2009 – Park City Group, Inc. (OTCBB: PCYG), a developer of patented, innovative retail supply chain solutions and services, today announced financial results for the second quarter and six-month period ended December 31, 2008.

Highlights include:
 
·  
Second quarter -
o  
Subscription revenues increased 133% to $79,166
o  
Supply Chain Profit Link (SCPL) subscription was initiated upon completion of $5.2 million identified opportunity gap for a 225 store supermarket retailer
·  
Six-month period -
o  
90% of the business integration for the merger has been completed
o  
Operating expenses were reduced $836,000 during the period
o  
Favorable expense trends are anticipated to accelerate in subsequent quarters

Second Quarter Results
For the second quarter of fiscal 2009, revenue decreased 8% to $454,062 as compared with $494,497 for the same period last year.  Lower revenue results were due in part to $82,016 reduction in license and maintenance revenues when compared with the same period in 2007.   This decrease was partially offset by a $45,139 increase in subscription revenues.  As previously announced, in 2007 the Company modified its business strategy to focus on increasing sales of its suite of software products on a subscription basis.  The Company will continue to generate licensing revenues, which by their nature are less predictable, and are best evaluated on an annual, rather than quarterly, basis.

Total operating expenses for the second quarter of fiscal 2009 were down 29%, or $535,000, when compared with the same period in 2008.  This is the result of reduced overall expenses and a combination of efficiencies recognized in the recently completed merger with Prescient Applied Intelligence which included a reduction in total headcount, a reduction in consultant costs and recruitment fees, and in one-time expenses comprised of patent defense costs and stock compensation expense.

This resulted in a net loss applicable to common shareholders of ($1,165,073), or ($0.12) loss per share, as compared with ($1,435,703), or ($0.16) loss per share, in the same period last year.

Six-Month Results
For the six-month period of fiscal 2009, revenue decreased 27% to $984,340 as compared with $1,348,761 for the same period last year.  Lower revenue results were due in part to $215,269 reduction in license and maintenance revenues when compared with the same period in 2008.   This decrease was partially offset by a $17,326 increase in subscription revenues.

Total operating expenses for the first six months of fiscal 2009 were down 23%, or $836,000, when compared with the same period in 2008.

This resulted in a net loss applicable to common shareholders of ($2,374,957), or ($0.25) loss per share, as compared with ($2,172,919), or ($0.24) loss per share, in the same period last year.

Completed Merger / Business Integration
On January 13, 2009, early in the third fiscal quarter, the Company closed on the accretive merger of Prescient Applied Intelligence.  The Company has already completed the majority of its business integration and has begun to realize operational efficiencies.  Approximately $3.4 million of the $4 million annual identified cost reduction measures have already been taken and will be reflected over the next several quarters.   Also, important new collaborative sales and marketing opportunities are actively being pursued, with encouragingly positive and tangible early results.

Randall K. Fields, Park City Group’s Chairman and CEO, said that, “Now that the many distractions related to the preparation for and completion of the merger of Prescient are behind us, we look forward to revenues reflecting an improving trend in the third quarter.  This merger represents important opportunities for us on many levels, including financial and operational.   Park City Group has evolved into a trusted provider of new business processes, not just business software.  Our new company and its deepened capabilities are being well received by customers.  Although our target business segment (supermarket, convenience store, and specialty retail vendors) continues to perform well in this challenging economy, when faced with cost-conscious consumers and the growing strength of discount stores, retailers are focused on maintaining market share, and are increasingly turning to suppliers to help in the effort.
 
“As a result of our reviewing and accessing our new and existing opportunities, we have expanded and refined our product offerings and restructured our sales process.  We have begun to introduce our improved solutions to our customers with positive results,” Fields concluded.

Notes about Consolidated Condensed Statement of Operations
The unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements do not contain the results of operations of Prescient, or the impact on the Company’s financial position resulting from consummation of the merger with Prescient (“Prescient Merger”). In this regard, as a result of the consummation of the Prescient Merger on January 13, 2009, future operating results are likely to be different from historical operating results, and those differences will be material. The unaudited pro forma combined condensed financial statements of the Company and Prescient for the year ended June 30, 2008 and as of and for the three months ended September 30, 2008, are filed as Exhibit 99.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K/A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 9, 2009. The pro forma financial statements are not necessarily indicative of what the Company’s financial position or results of operations actually would have been had the Company completed the Prescient Merger at the dates indicated, and do not purport to project the future financial position or operating results of the combined company.
