SAN FRANCISCO, CA: Forecrossr Corporation (VSE-FRX.U) announced today results for the three months ended March 31, 1997, of $2,121,228 in revenues, up 67% from $1,266,677 reported in 1997. The Company's net loss amounted to $360,751 (or $.03 per share) for the three months ended March 31, 1998, compared to a gain of $22,423 (or $.00 per share) for the three months ended March 31, 1997. Operating results (in U.S. dollars) for the three and six months ended March 31 include:
At March 31, 1998, the Company's backlog was $2,510,000.
Kim Jones, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "The second quarter of fiscal 1998 once again reflects the strong revenue growth and significant backlog for our products and services."
"While our revenues continue to demonstrate rapid growth advancing 41% over first quarter revenues, the expansion of our gross margin from 13% to 35% is a key to the second quarter numbers. This improvement is a direct result of the completion of our planned expansion of year 2000 resources." Mr. Jones continued, "This margin expansion is further reflected in the reduction in operating expenses as a percent of revenue from 61% in the first quarter to 48% in the second quarter. We expect to continue to benefit from the enhanced infrastructure and products that are in place as the year 2000 market materializes during this 1998 fiscal year."
Revenues in the second quarter (3/31/98) were $2,121,228 versus the first quarter (12/31/97) of $1,504,384. Gross margin was $732,699 and $689,716 in the second and first quarter of fiscal 1998, respectively. The gross margin percentage was 35% in the second quarter and 13% in the first quarter.
