Notify Technology Reports Results for The First Quarter Ended December 31, 2000

SAN JOSE, Calif., Feb. 6 /PRNewswire/ -- Notify Technology Corp. (Nasdaq: NTFY - news), an innovative communications service and software provider for wireline and wireless notification and messaging services, today announced financial results for the quarter ended December 31, 2000. Revenues for the first quarter of fiscal 2001 decreased significantly to $362,000 compared to $1,070,000 for the corresponding period of fiscal 2000. The Company's net loss for the first quarter of fiscal 2001 was $783,000, with basic and diluted earnings per share of $(0.20), compared to a loss of $700,000, with basic and diluted earnings per share of $(0.20) for the first quarter of fiscal 2000. The loss in the first quarter of fiscal 2001 included a $200,000 accrual for losses on firm purchase commitments for inventory related to existing products. The Company believes the general market for its traditional products is weakening and the Company has refocused much of its efforts into wireline and wireless applications of its Visual Got Mail and NotifyLink technology. ``We continue to experience a weakness in the caller-id market,'' said Paul DePond, Chief Executive Officer, ``Although still actively selling our Call Manager caller-id product line, we have recognized the value of shifting our product focus into wireline email notification and wireless email notification, access, and management solutions. We have made significant progress in developing our wireless products and signing agreements with wireless customers but current revenues are primarily impacted by sales of our established products.'' The Call Manager product line accounted for 35% of the revenue for the first fiscal quarter followed by the Centrex Receptionist product, which accounted for 26% of fourth fiscal quarter revenue.
