PARK CITY, Utah, Feb 17, 2004 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Park City Group Inc. (PKCY) whose technology had its genesis in the operations of Mrs. Fields Cookies, develops and markets patented computer software that helps its retail customers increase their sales while reducing their inventory and labor costs, announced a strong showing for the second quarter ended December 31, 2003.
Park City Group reported quarterly revenues of $1,901,000 as compared to $981,000 in the same period last year and represents a 94% improvement. "This is an important achievement for the Company. Our plan to develop new channels for sales and revenue opportunities is achieving its goal. While this is an excellent first step, this is just the beginning of our efforts," stated Randy Fields, chairman and CEO of Park City Group.
In keeping with the stated objectives of careful cost controls, the quarterly expenses were reduced in Sales and Marketing, by $82,000 or a reduction of approximately 24% (Q2FY2004 $254,000 as compared to Q2FY2003 of $336,000). Expenses for General and Administrative activities were reduced by $206,000 or a decline of approximately 29% (Q2FY2004 of $498,000 as compared to Q2FY2003 of $704,000). There was an increase in Research and Development expenses of $116,000 or a 56% increase over the same period last year (Q2FY2004 of $322,000 as compared to A2FY2003 of $206,000). This increase was due in part to the efforts required to develop a new application product (Center Store Inventory Manager) that is designed to provide increased sales opportunities in convenience, drug and grocery stores. This is where the company's Fresh Market Manager product has its primary focus.
"We are experiencing a lift in the number of active sales opportunities, aided in part by an improving economy. This increasing activity level together with the prospective customers who have budgeted projects, an intense awareness of the problems that our products can correct, and our expanded product line with Center Store Inventory Manager is a positive indicator for us and improves our confidence in our ability to meet or exceed our business plan."
