Charles E. Ramey, Chairman and CEO of US Dataworks, said, "The third quarter posted solid results, whereby total revenues rose in excess of 13%, stemming from a strong 26% increase in professional service revenues due to our contract with a branch of the federal government. While our second largest revenue generator, software transactional revenues, saw a slight decline in the quarter, we believe those revenues will slowly increase in the coming quarters as our clients' customers begin to increase spending as well as the integration of new customers into our system. I am also pleased with the profits recorded during the quarter despite higher expenses in infrastructure and sales and marketing. These expenditures are important steps for US Dataworks to grow the business."
Mr. Ramey added, "I'm also pleased to report that we recently took positive steps in restructuring the Company's capital situation. Specifically, we've secured a revolving line of credit and a term loan both originating from Silicon Valley Bank, with the proceeds from the term loan being used to pay down a portion of our pre-existing debt, which is now subordinated to the bank debt. In addition, the remaining portion of this subordinated debt has also been restructured and these loans, which were coming due on July 1, 2010, have been extended to January 1, 2014. I am thankful to be working with Silicon Valley Bank and believe their interest in providing us with this financing is a good indicator of the fiscal strength of US Dataworks, especially during the current economic conditions."
"I am pleased with the progress we have made fiscal year to date. While we still have a lot to accomplish, I think the capital restructuring will yield financial flexibility to the Company. In addition, the Company has initiated new relationships that bode well for the future, including the most recently signed contract with The Bankers Bank in Oklahoma City, OK, which now uses US Dataworks' Clearingworks(R) software platform to drive the image check clearing network it conducts on behalf of the 275 community banks. We value this new relationship and anticipate it to be a reference contract for other similar banks that we have begun to target," concluded Mr. Ramey.
