Financial Results highlights for FY2012 are as follows:
During FY2012 we grew our customer base and support revenues; however, this growth was offset by a 66% decrease in integration revenues from $583K FY2011 to $197K in FY2012. We expect a further decline in integration revenues in FY2013. The decrease in integration revenues directly impacted our EBITDA and Net Income; however, we started to recover in Q3 and Q4 of FY2012 where we posted $239K in EBITDA and $34K in Net Income and $257K in EBITDA and $33K in EBITDA in each of the respective quarters. My sincere appreciation is extended to Quorum's Board of Directors and to our employees and consultants who have been diligent and dedicated in their support of the Corporation's goals and objectives. My thanks also extend to our investors for their long-term and continued support of Quorum.
