Veramark Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB: VERA), today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2005. For the fourth quarter of 2005 Veramark reported a net income of $266,000, $0.03 per diluted share, on sales of $2,902,000. For the full year ended December 31, 2005 Veramark’s net income was $382,000, or $0.04 per diluted share, on sales of $10,859,000. For the year ended December 31, 2004 Veramark had reported a net loss of $114,000, or $0.01 per share, on sales of $11,036,000.
David G. Mazzella, Veramark’s President and Chief Executive Officer, commenting on the results stated, “We ended 2005 on a positive note with a good fourth quarter and profitable operations for the year. After a sluggish first quarter, we achieved an increase in order rates with each succeeding quarter. The increase in quarterly orders was attributable to new orders for VeraSMART, our enterprise level product, in which we have invested significant development resources over the past several years. In September 2005 we announced the release of VeraSMART 4.0 which added SMART Work Order, a module that adds flexible workflow and helpdesk management functionality to the VeraSMART platform.”
Mr. Mazzella added, “In addition to the increased order rates experienced in 2005 we also strengthened our balance sheet throughout the year. Through careful management we were able to generate positive cash flows throughout 2005, ending the year with a positive cash flow in excess of $400,000 and with $1,512,000 in cash and cash equivalents on our balance sheet.”
Mr. Mazzella also reported that the next release of VeraSMART will introduce a fully integrated Asset Management module to the existing platform, and is planned for a late second quarter 2006 launch. “With each release of VeraSMART we move closer to our stated strategic objective of expanding into markets beyond the traditional telephony based applications. We are actively recruiting marketing and sales personnel to drive achievement of that goal.”
