Material Changes vs. Prior Period
- Revenue Growth: Revenue increased 20.2% in Q2 2010 and 32.3% for the six-month period compared to 2009. This was driven by a 177.9% increase in software product and maintenance sales in Q2 and a 115.2% increase for the six months.
- Profitability: The Company returned to profitability. Net income for Q2 2010 was $78,445 compared to $5,982 in Q2 2009. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, the Company reported net income of $182,212, reversing a net loss of $56,362 in the same period in 2009.
- Margins: Gross margin percentage for professional services improved to 40.3% in Q2 2010 from 37.5% in Q2 2009, attributed to better contract mix. Software sales margins decreased to 19.7% in Q2 2010 from 26.2% in Q2 2009 due to rising third-party supplier costs and competitive discounting.
- Expenses: Selling, general, and administrative (SG&A) expenses decreased 2.8% in Q2 2010 compared to Q2 2009, primarily due to lower marketing incentives and reduced legal/accounting fees.
Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary
- Liquidity: Management anticipates sufficient cash to meet requirements for the next twelve months. The Company has a $1,000,000 revolving line of credit with no outstanding balance as of June 30, 2010.
- Customer Concentration: Three customers accounted for 29.3%, 16.2%, and 11.6% of revenue in the first six months of 2010. Two are direct government contracts; one is a commercial contract for government services.
- Risks: Key risks include dependence on key personnel, changes in U.S. government budgetary priorities and contracting methods, intense competition, and the potential for DCAA audits on government contracts (though management believes risk is minimal).
- Accounting Updates: The Company is evaluating the impact of new FASB updates regarding revenue recognition (milestone method and multiple-deliverable arrangements) effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2010.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Customer Concentration: Verify the stability of the three major customers representing over 57% of YTD revenue.
- Software Margin Pressure: Monitor the trend of software sales margins, which declined due to supplier cost increases and discounting.
- Contract Mix: Assess the duration of the "short-term" contracts driving recent professional services margin improvements.
- Government Funding: Review the status of funding for government contracts, as revenue recognition is contingent on probable funding.
- Stock Options: Note the dilutive effect of 1,122,000 outstanding options with a weighted average exercise price of $0.31.
