Management Commentary

"We've continued to experience positive growth, and are extremely excited about the fact that our main operating company, Reprints Desk, now has positive income from operations before adjustments. Income may be lifted even further as we roll out new high margin Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) offerings, Bibliogo and Article Viewer mobile app as part of our Article Galaxy platform.  Additionally, we've had recent top pharma company wins that should bring an additional ten million dollars in revenues over the next year," said Derycz Scientific President and CEO Peter Derycz.  "In contrast to our Reprints Desk success, we've experienced difficulties in our TAAG operation. We have responded there by instituting a management change that will be bringing a "hands-on" approach to revenue growth and operational efficiencies as well as by taking a one-time impairment charge in regards to that acquisition."

Alan Urban, Chief Financial Officer, added, "As mentioned last quarter, we completed numerous improvements in gross margin and operating expenses and as a result gross margin as a percentage of revenue increased to 22.5% and we achieved $251 thousand of income from operations before depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, and impairment charges.  In addition, with the impairment charges related to the acquisition of TAAG and intellectual property licenses behind us, we are well positioned for profitability going forward."
