Karl Lopker, CEO of QAD, commented in a conference call, "Despite results slightly below expectations, we were able to reduce expenses in-line with revenue, maintain our financial health and position ourselves for the eventual turnaround in manufacturing."
He added, "We increased our cash position through good colelction practice, reduced expenses and reduced capital expenditures. Bankruptcies and near-bankruptcies have affected our customer base because so many of them are dependent on the auto industy. We atill have some exposure in this area, but most of the risks are known and under control."
Mr. Lopker concluded, "We see a pick-up in revenue in the second half of the year. When combined with our cost reduction actions, we should see a return to profitability. This puts us in great shape for next year."
For the third quarter of fiscal 2010, QAD currently expects total revenue of approximately $54.0 million and a small profit.
