San Jose, CA, August 19, 2005 -- Notify Technology Corporation (OTC: NTFY) today announced financial results for its third fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2005.
The Company’s net loss for the three month period ended June 30, 2005, was $252,695, or a net loss per share of $0.02, compared to a net loss of $16,383, or a net loss per share of $0.00, reported for the corresponding period of fiscal 2004.
The $866,633 of revenue reported in the third fiscal quarter of 2005 compares to $945,839 of revenue in the same period of fiscal 2004. The gross margin in the third fiscal quarter was 95.9% compared to 85.8% in the same quarter of fiscal 2004 due to a change in product mix.
The Company’s NotifyLink wireless product line revenue improved to $553,596 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2005 from $329,882 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2004. The service portion of the Visual Got Mail Solution product line was $295,069 in the three-month period ended June 30, 2005 compared to $412,980 in the comparable period of fiscal 2004. The level of Visual Got Mail service revenue is expected to continue to decrease in future quarters as the installed base the Visual Got Mail product services continues to decline due to our customer’s discontinued marketing of the service.
The increase in the wireless revenue is the result of increased sales and marketing efforts. The Company’s sales and marketing expense, which are primarily made up of the Company’s sales and the technical support organization, increased to $405,064 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2005 from $257,966 in the corresponding period of fiscal 2004.
The Company continues to focus its product development, marketing and sales on its NotifyLink wireless products. The Company has recently released several new versions of its NotifyLink Hosted Edition product targeting the Small to Medium Business (“SMB”) market. In addition, the Company is in its final stages of releasing new versions of its NotifyLink Enterprise Edition that will provide wireless synchronization for email, calendar, contacts, and tasks for a variety of IMAP4 email systems including the Sun Java Messaging System, the Oracle Collaboration Suite, the Mirapoint Messaging System, the Scalix Messaging Platform, and the Stalker Communigate Pro Messaging System.
“For the past three years we have been primarily focused on the Novell GroupWise marketplace which has provided us with the opportunity to establish Notify as a leading provider of wireless solutions in the GroupWise market,” said Paul DePond, Chief Executive Officer. “We have also been developing a family of products targeted at the IMAP4 market segment that is in dire need of a wireless email and PIM synchronization solution. Over the next months, Notify will launch these new products jointly marketed with several major IMAP4 vendors.”

Forward-Looking Statements: This press release contains forward-looking statements related to Notify Technology that involve risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to statements regarding the development of NotifyLink revenue and the service revenue on the Visual Got Mail Solution. Those statements are based on current information and expectations and there are important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated by such statements. These risks include, but are not limited to, our ability to deliver products and manage growth, the continuance of certain customer voice mail programs, the expectation that the revenue from the service portion of the Visual Got Mail Solution will decline due to customer decisions to withdraw from the consumer market that the Notify product supports, as well as other risks. In particular, we cannot predict future NotifyLink revenues with any accuracy and do not know whether NotifyLink revenues will continue to grow at the rates we have recently experienced. Increasing NotifyLink revenues will require continued investments in our sales and marketing organization, and we have limited available cash resources to make these investments.

For further information about these factors that could affect Notify Technology's future results, please see the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
