Adaptive Solutions Reports Revenueÿ Gains for First Quarter
  ======================================================= ÿÿ BEAVERTON, Ore.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 21, 1998--Adaptive Solutions Inc. (NASDAQ:ADSO) today announced results for its first quarter ended March 31, 1998. ÿÿ Total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 1998 was $1,268,000, an increase of 75% from revenue of $725,000 in the first quarter of 1997.ÿ The 1998 first quarter results include one-time charges of $678,000 to write off in-process research and development expense related to the previously announced acquisition of Mimetics, S.A., a French recognition software company acquired in March, 1998. If these one-time charges are excluded from 1998 first quarter results, the company would have had a net loss of $206,000 or $0.03 earnings per share.ÿ Including the charges, the net loss for the latest quarter was $884,000 or $0.12 per share, compared with a net loss of $278,000 or $0.04 per share a year ago. ÿÿ "The first quarter results demonstrate continued progress in our transition to becoming a leading Computer Assisted Data Entry company," commented Dan Meub, president and chief executive officer of Adaptive Solutions. "Revenue included our first product sale from the acquisition of the Kodak OCR product line in late October, 1997 and one month of revenue from Mimetics, S.A.ÿ With the Kodak OCR and Mimetics business now fully transitioned, we expect substantially larger contributions from these sources in future quarters.ÿ First quarter revenue also included the second and final payment of $750,000 from our restructured technology agreement with Motorola, Inc. In accordance with our plan, we are using the proceeds from the company's earlier technology expertise to fund the transition to our new strategy. ÿÿ "Looking forward, we are encouraged with the expanding pipeline of prospective sales of our new full-function EntryLink data-entry product line which builds on the strength of the acquired Kodak Imagelink OCR products," continued Meub. "We have several potential multi-unit sales in process with government customers, where the sales cycle is somewhat extended and the timing is uncertain.ÿ Based on the number of opportunities and progress with potential prospects, however, we remain optimistic that we will generate increased product revenue from the EntryLink line as it is fully launched this quarter. Early customer response to our upcoming new product introductions has been very positive.ÿ Moreover, we continue to build revenue from service contracts with the Kodak installed base and also expect growing product and R&D revenue from Mimetics."
ÿÿ This press release contains forward-looking statements which involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, development of additional sales of Kodak OCR products from new and existing customers, implementation of the company's plans to add to the acquired product line, successful completion of expected contracts and continued cost control.ÿ These risks and uncertainties are discussed in greater detail in the company's reports to the S.E.C. ÿÿ Adaptive Solutions, headquartered in Beaverton, Ore., was founded in 1988 and pioneered data parallel processing for advanced pattern recognition, image processing, and intelligent character recognition applications.ÿ Today, Adaptive Solutions provides productive, mission critical, data entry through standards-based Computer Assisted Data Entry (CADE) solutions. *T
