Notify Technology Reports Results for the Third Fiscal Quarter Ended June 30, 2001
SAN JOSE, Calif., Aug. 6 Notify Technology Corporation (Nasdaq: NTFY), an innovative communications service and software provider for wireline and wireless notification and messaging services, today announced financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2001.
Net sales for the legacy wireline products and services for the third quarter of fiscal 2001 decreased to $308,000 compared to $903,000 for the corresponding period of fiscal 2000. The Company's net loss for the third quarter of fiscal 2001 was $894,000, with basic and diluted earnings per share of $(0.22), compared to a loss of $731,000, with basic and diluted earnings per share of $(0.20) for the third quarter of fiscal 2000.
Net sales for the nine-month period ended June 30, 2001 decreased to $1,060,000 compared to $3,657,000 for the corresponding period for fiscal 2000. The Company's net loss for the nine month period ended June 30, 2001 was $2,536,000 or $0.64 loss per share, compared to a loss of $2,126,000 or $0.60 loss per share for the corresponding period of fiscal 2000. The decrease in net sales between the two periods was primarily due the reduction in shipments of caller-id products for telephone company promotional programs. The Company believes this trend will continue and expects minimal sales of its legacy wireline products in the future. The Company has concentrated its development efforts on its NotifyLink wireless technology and has refocused its marketing and sales efforts at wireless device manufacturers and wireless carriers.
The Caller ID product line accounted for 30% of the net sales for the third fiscal quarter. Revenue derived from royalty payments for the rights to use the Company's technology and Centrex Receptionist sales and service accounted for 7% and 34% of third fiscal quarter net sales, respectively. Notify closed a $5 million financing subsequent to the end of the third fiscal quarter that provided the necessary funding to meet the Nasdaq Review Panel's requirement for continued Nasdaq listing. The funds derived from this financing are not reflected in the balance sheet ended June 30, 2001.
"We are pleased that we were successful in presenting a plan to the Nasdaq Panel in the third fiscal quarter to retain our Nasdaq listing and with the closing of our financing, we are now focused at carrying out that plan," said Paul DePond, Chief Executive Officer. "We have made significant strides in transitioning our business into the wireless marketplace as evidenced by the national exposure our products are getting under the brand name of Motorola MyMail."
