(OTCBB: UFYC), a global provider of application modernization software, today announced financial results for its fiscal first quarter 2008 ended July 31, 2007. Fiscal First Quarter 2008 Highlights: -- Total revenue increased 129% year-over-year to $4.0 million. -- Software license revenue increased 274% year-over-year to $1.5 million. -- Services revenue increased 86% year-over-year to $2.5 million. -- Second consecutive quarter of positive operating cash flow. -- Income from operations was $108,000 versus a loss of $314,000 a year-ago. -- Net loss was $218,000 versus a loss of $754,000 a year-ago. -- Adjusted EBITDA of $387,000 versus a negative $260,000 a year-ago. -- Company signed 79 new customers. -- Completed 10 proof of concept migration projects for the Microsoft(R) Edition of Composer for Lotus Notes. Five of the projects were referred to the Company by Microsoft. Business Discussion: "We are pleased to achieve operating income, positive cash flow and triple digit revenue growth during the first quarter, which is seasonally our weakest quarter," commented Todd Wille, CEO of Unify. "Our software licenses and services revenues grew significantly year-over-year. Our recurring maintenance revenues, which represented 60% of total Q1 revenues, remained strong with renewals in excess of 95 percent. For the second quarter in a row, we were operating cash flow positive. Additionally, we added 79 new customers in our database and development software business as we continue to see the combination of Unify and GUPTA creating new opportunities around the world." Mr. Wille continued, "With the application modernization side of our business, we have become an endorsed partner of Microsoft with our Composer for Lotus Notes offering. We are engaged with the Microsoft sales teams in addition to working with large solution integrators to engage with customers that want to modernize their Lotus Notes applications. We completed 10 proof of concept migration projects. Our Composer for Lotus Notes solution provides enterprises the only viable alternative to an expensive rewrite for transitioning their Lotus Notes applications to either the Microsoft or Java platforms. We believe this is a tremendous opportunity for Unify as large organizations with hundreds to thousands of applications written in Lotus Notes look for ways to move these mission critical applications and data to new SOA enabled platforms. In the second quarter, we expect to expand our relationship with Microsoft to market our Composer Solution. "We are in an exciting period of growth and we look forward to further expanding the reach of our compelling product and services offerings. During the second quarter, we will be conducting customer conferences in Sweden, Germany, France, North America, and Russia for our software business. Additionally, during the second quarter we will be introducing major new product releases of our development and database products, which will bring additional visibility, momentum and results to an already stellar beginning of the fiscal year," concluded Mr. Wille. Financial Results: The company reported total revenues in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 of $4.0 million, up 129% when compared to $1.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2007. Software licenses revenue increased 274% to $1.5 million, compared to $391,000 for the fiscal first quarter in 2007. Services revenue was up 86% to $2.5 million for the quarter, compared to $1.3 million for the same quarter of fiscal 2007. Net loss was $218,000 or $0.04 loss per share compared to a net loss of $754,000 or $0.13 loss per share in the first quarter of fiscal 2007. The improvement was primarily attributable to the synergies expected from merging Unify and GUPTA last November. Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter was $387,000 compared to a negative $260,000 last year. This Adjusted EBITDA does not take into account the $580,000 of GUPTA maintenance revenue eliminated by purchase accounting in relation to the GUPTA acquisition. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by taking the Company's operating income (loss) and adjusting for depreciation and amortization, non-cash stock-based compensation and other charges. The Company believes that this non-GAAP measure, viewed in addition to and not in lieu of the Company's reported GAAP results, provides useful information to investors because it is an integral part of the Company's internal evaluation of operating results. Non-GAAP total revenues were up 162% to $4.5 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2008. Non-GAAP total revenues include $580,000 of maintenance revenue that would have been recognized without the write-down of the GUPTA deferred revenue as required by purchase accounting. Correspondingly, non-GAAP service revenue would have increased 129% to $3.1 million for the quarter, compared to $1.3 million for the same quarter of fiscal 2007. If this maintenance revenue were added to the Company's first quarter operating results, the reported net loss of $218,000 would have increased to net income of $362,000. Unify ended its fiscal 2008 first quarter with total cash and cash equivalents of $1.9 million, compared to the $2.1 million it reported at April 30, 2007. Share count used for GAAP EPS calculations in fiscal Q1 2008 was 6.0 million.
