California Software Reports Record Fiscal 1999 Results
SANTA ANA, Calif., March 13 /PRNewswire/ -- California Software Corp. (OTC Bulletin Board: CAWC - news), a leader in IBM migration products and developer of the award-winning BABY(TM) product line, today announced its audited financial results for the twelve months ended December 31, 1999.
Sales grew to record levels of $12.0 million for fiscal 1999. Income before taxes rose to $3.35 million. California Software reported $0.87 basic earnings per share and $0.66 per share on a fully diluted basis for fiscal 1999. The Company attributed its improvement in sales and income to the widespread market acceptance of its new product releases, including a record order of 4,000 licenses for BABY/GUI, which was introduced in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1999.
As of December 31, 1999, cash and receivables rose to $4.78 million and total assets increased to $6.07 million. The Company had working capital of $4.23 million at the close of fiscal 1999.
Bruce Acacio, President and Chief Executive Officer of California Software, stated, ``Through the conversion of a $2,250,00 note payable in the first quarter of 2000, all long-term debt has been eliminated.'
Acacio continued, ``Our strong balance sheet combined with steady top-line growth during fiscal 1999 and a forthcoming 2-for-1 stock split (for shareholders on record as of March 15 with an ex-dividend date of March 22, 2000) is rapidly positioning the Company to make the transition for listing on the American Stock Exchange. We plan to file for an AMEX© listing next week, which is ahead of schedule.'
Carol Conway, Vice President of California Software, commented, ``In the ever-changing mid-market sector, our upcoming e-business solution, BABY.com, will capitalize on the need for businesses to integrate operations over the Internet and is poised to rival competitors, such as Jacada.'
Conway continued, ``The proven success of several product introductions during fiscal 1999 has generated significant sales momentum, which we expect will contribute to fiscal 2000 revenues of over $20 million.'
``A private placement of $10 million this year will fuel our aggressive growth-through-acquisition strategy. During fiscal 2000, we plan to add several highly qualified acquisitions,' added Conway.
