The Company Will be Holding a Conference Call today At 11am EDT to
Discuss the Updated Quarterly Estimates
TEL AVIV, Israel, Oct. 8, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Top Image Systems, Ltd. (Nasdaq:TISA) (TASE:TISA), the leading innovator of data capture solutions, announced preliminary results for the third quarter of 2007.
Revenues for the third quarter of 2007 are expected to be between $6.0-6.3 million. As a result, operating loss for the third quarter of 2007 will be in the range of $1.4-1.8 million. Part of the increased expenses in the quarter is related to the assimilation of CPL and Asiasoft into TIS. These preliminary results are subject to adjustment and review by the Company's auditors.
The Company will be releasing its third quarter 2007 results on Wednesday, November 28, 2007, before the U.S. market opens. The later than usual third quarter release date follows the additional time required to apply U.S. GAAP to recently acquired Asiasoft's financial results and fully consolidate Asiasoft's financial results for the reported period.
Dr. Ido Schechter, Top Image Systems' CEO, commented: "This has been an active year for the Company in terms of acquisitions and venturing into new geographies, whilst enhancing our total product offering. While we are reporting revenues at close to record levels, we were hoping for an even higher amount in the quarter. Unfortunately, a number of recently awarded new projects which we had expected to record revenues from in the third quarter, were not finalized in time to be recognized. We do believe that the revenues from these deals will be recognized in the fourth quarter of this year and the early quarters of next year."
"On the positive side, we recently won several new significant projects with major companies that we look forward to announcing in the coming months," continued Dr. Schechter. "We are also encouraged by the progress we have made in other business areas, for example, in the Japanese division, which has been stabilized under the new management team. This division's business broke even in the third quarter this year and we expect it to be profitable in the fourth quarter. This, as well as our recent wins, underlies our confidence in the strength of the business and a recovery in our revenue levels in the fourth quarter and beyond into 2008."
Dr. Schechter concluded: "While we are indeed disappointed with the results of the third quarter, myself and all of us at TIS are working diligently to ensure we can recognize most of the delayed revenues in the fourth quarter. We remain confident in our strategy, market position, product offering and business model, given our sound, unchanged, business fundamentals and good pipeline."
