All figures are in Canadian dollars. "Our first quarter in fiscal 2009 has been a disappointing quarter for us," notes Arthur Ritchie, President and Chief Executive Officer of SAND. "Given the current global financial crisis, the environment is more challenging than we previously anticipated and customers have adopted a more cautious attitude to spending by decreasing and/or delaying the placing of orders and conserving their cash. While we are concerned about the uncertainties in the macro-environment, we believe that the value of SAND/DNA products as an enabling technology that increases efficiency and saves costs will remain intact over the long-term. These strengths may prove to be real opportunities in a time when budgets are being cut. Despite the macro factors affecting our business, we continue to make positive strides in attracting new business directly from customers and indirectly through our systems integrators and application vendors."
