The company reported revenues of $2,132,808, a 146% increase over $867,296 for the same period in 1998. Net earnings for the third quarter were $21,224, compared with a loss of $115,754, in 1998.
For the nine months ended September 30, 1999, revenues were $6,097,443 compared with $1,828,609 for the same period in 1998, an increase of 233%. Net earnings for the nine months were $702,917, or $.04 per fully diluted share, compared to a loss of $479,205, or ($.06) per share, in 1998.
Commenting on the Company's performance during the third quarter, Gerry Pesut, President and CEO of ASI, said, "This has been a strong quarter for ASI with the successful introduction of LABORVIEW.com(TM), the first web-based time and attendance and labor allocation solution. We developed LABORVIEW.com in response to our Fortune 1000 clients' need for improved labor productivity and reduced administrative costs for remote and mobile employees, commonly referred to as 'agile workforce.' The early acceptance of this newly released product confirms our belief that LABORVIEW.com is the right product to address various industry needs to manage enterprise-wide personnel, productivity and costs."
Mr. Pesut added, "During the third quarter, we secured a contract to install ATServer(R) at an additional 22 plants for Johnson Controls Inc. bringing the total number to 40 facilities. The acceptance of our agile workforce products outside of the manufacturing arena continues to grow as evidenced by the installation at six facilities of the world's pre-eminent retail E-Commerce firm.
"We also sold additional ATLink(TM) products and services, our new Windows- based data collection and data distribution solution software, to Imperial Tobacco and Tokyo Electronics in the quarter. Our increase in top line performance over last year continues to demonstrate the growing acceptance of our ATServer and ATLink product lines, and we anticipate similar success with LABORVIEW.com. Our increased operating expense during the third quarter reflects the expansion of our personnel, hired to support our anticipated revenue growth in the fourth quarter and beyond."
During the third quarter, the Company announced the appointments of two key management positions. Timothy L. Selner, a veteran of 14 years in the field of workforce solution support services, was appointed to Vice President, Operations for the Company. Also joining ASI was William R. Mottram as Vice President of E-Commerce. Mr. Mottram has held several managerial positions in the scientific computing and ERP (enterprise resource planning) markets over the last 20 years and was most recently Vice President, Sales with Epic Data.
