NORCROSS, Ga., March 19, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Intelligent Systems Corporation (AMEX:INS), www.intelsys.com, announced today the financial results for its fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2006. Net income for fiscal year 2006 was $4.5 million compared to a net loss of $1.6 million in fiscal 2005. In 2006, net income was $1.00 per basic share ($0.98 per diluted share) compared to a loss of $0.36 per basic and diluted share in 2005.
Revenue grew to $14.5 million in 2006, an increase of 12 percent compared to revenue of $12.9 million in 2005. The increase in revenue in 2006 reflects strong domestic sales of products at the company's ChemFree subsidiary and greater professional services revenue at the company's VISaer subsidiary.
The 2006 results were bolstered by two previously disclosed transactions that were effective during the quarter ended September 30, 2006. The Company sold the business of its QS Technologies subsidiary which resulted in a net gain on the sale of $4.9 million. A second transaction, the sale of the Company's interest in privately-held Horizon Software International, Inc., resulted in a gain of $2.6 million which is included in investment income for 2006.
As a result of the sale of the QS Technologies business and in conformity with applicable accounting standards, the Company classified the QS business as Discontinued Operations and the financial results for prior periods have been reclassified to conform to this presentation for all periods presented. The financial results reported for the Company's Continuing Operations for the three and twelve month periods ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 include the consolidated results of operations of three subsidiaries: VISaer, Inc., CoreCard Software, Inc. and ChemFree Corporation.
For the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2006, net loss was $1.3 million or $0.30 per basic and diluted share compared to a net loss of $944,000 or $0.21 per basic and diluted share in the fourth quarter of 2005. Revenue in the fourth quarter of 2006 was $2.6 million compared to $3.8 million in 2005. The period-to-period decline in revenue reflects the fact that the Company's software subsidiaries did not recognize for financial reporting purposes significant new software license revenue in the fourth quarter of 2006. As the Company has stated frequently, the timing and amounts of revenue recognition on software contracts will vary considerably from period to period due to a number of factors, some of which are outside of the Company's control. The Company has a number of software contracts in process which it expects to deliver to customers during 2007.
As previously disclosed, the Company submitted a plan, which was accepted by AMEX on July 27, 2006, outlining its plan to achieve compliance with the continued listing standards of the American Stock Exchange (AMEX) within an 18 month period. AMEX regulations require two consecutive quarters of compliance with the applicable standards before a determination will be made by AMEX as to whether the Company has regained compliance with continued listing standards. The Company believes its shareholders' equity met the continued listing standards at September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2006.
The Company will hold a conference call today at 1 PM Eastern Time. Investors may join the conference call by telephoning (877) 226-7144 at least 5 minutes before the scheduled time. An audio transcript of the conference call will be posted on the Company's website at www.intelsys.com as soon as possible after the call and will be available for 12 months.
