WESTLAKE VILLAGE, Calif.--(BUSINESS
WIRE)--August 18, 2003-- CaminoSoft Corp. CMSF,
a provider
of Intelligent Capacity ManagementTM
data storage and High Availability solutions,
reported its third fiscal quarter results
today.
The Three-Month
Periods Ended June 30, 2003 and June 30, 2002.
Sales during the
current quarter increased by approximately
$177,700 compared to the quarter ended June 30,
2002 as a result of the acquisition and
distribution of the Legato high availability
products for NetWare. Deferred revenue for sales
of annual service contracts also increased as
compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2002 by
approximately $142,000 due to the sale of
service contracts for both the high availability
and core HSM installations. The service revenue
will be taken into income ratably over the terms
of the service contracts. During the quarter
ended June 30, 2003, the Company continued to
concentrate on the development of a sales and
technical infrastructure to support the sales
forces of O.E.M. partners and integrators who
distribute the Company’s solutions. The sales
process, goals and objectives have been modified
to include partner sales and technical support,
sales and technical training, and an inside
sales department to support external sales
teams. Sales for the quarter ended June 30, 2003
exceeded sales for the Company’s entire fiscal
year ended September 30, 2002.
Operating loss for
the current three-month period decreased by
approximately $49,600 compared to the three
months ended June 30, 2002. This decrease is a
result of the Company’s current sales increase.
Nine-Month Periods
Ended June 30, 2003 and June 30, 2002.
Sales for the nine
month fiscal period June 30, 2003 increased by
approximately $387,000 compared to the prior
nine month period.
The distribution
channel for the high availability products has
added a significant number of distribution
partners to sell the Company’s HSM solutions.
The Company is currently training these partners
to sell and promote the Company’s other storage
management products. The Company believes this
will help increase sales and integration of the
Company’s HSM technology for NetWare and Windows
2000 during the second half of the current
calendar year. Along with an increase in
recognized revenue during the current nine-month
period, there has been an increase of
approximately $142,000 in deferred revenues that
will be realized over the next twelve-month
period. The number of clients using the
Company’s solutions has increased more than
tenfold, enhancing the ability to sell upgraded
and future products and solutions into a much
larger base of users of the Company’s products.
Operating loss for
the nine-month period ended June 30, 2003
decreased by approximately $228,000 compared to
the nine months ended June 30, 2002. The
decrease was due to the increase in revenues
during the current period relating to the
acquisition of the high availability products
for NetWare.
Stephen Crosson,
Chief Executive Officer of CaminoSoft, stated,
“The addition of the new high availability
products positioned our company in two of the
fastest growing areas in the software business,
High Availability and Data Storage Management.
We believe the increases in sales we have seen
in the recent quarter will continue to
accelerate.”
Mr. Crosson also
announced an additional $750,000 financing
through BFSUS Special Opportunities Trust PLC,
represented by Renaissance Capital Group. The
financing is in the form of a convertible note,
similar to a financing that the company arranged
through Renaissance Capital Group in December
2002.
The company also
announced that Walter Kornbluh has retired as
Chairman of the Board, but will continue to
serve as a Director and consultant to the
company. Steven M. Spector, a current board
member and member of both the Audit and
Compensation committees of the board, was
elected to the position of Chairman of the
Board. Stephen Crosson, Chief Executive Officer
of the Company, was also elected as a Director
of the company.
