FindEx.com Announces First Quarter 2006 Financial Results
FindEx.com, Inc. (OTCBB: FIND), a leading software
provider for Bible study through its QuickVerse® brand, and financial and
data management for churches and non-profit organizations through its
Membership Plus® brand, announced today the financial results of its
operations for the first quarter ended March 31, 2006.
For the first quarter ended March 31, 2006, gross revenue was $1,182,071,
compared to $1,984,036 in the first quarter 2005. The decrease in gross
revenue in the first quarter 2006 was primarily the result of a lack of new
product releases, a delay in the annual release of Membership Plus, which
is typically released in the first quarter (currently scheduled to be
released in the second quarter 2006) and the early release of an upgrade to
the company's flagship product, QuickVerse. Gross margin for first quarter
2006 was 58%, versus 70% in the first quarter 2005. Total operating
expenses for the first quarter 2006 decreased 69% to $831,049, compared to
$1,209,586 for the same period in 2005. Total sales, general and
administrative costs were $586,555 or 50% of gross sales in first quarter
2006, compared to $635,718 or 32% of gross sales in the first quarter 2005.
The net loss for the first quarter 2006 was $886,796, compared to a net
loss of $114,072 in the first quarter 2005. During the first quarter 2006
the company had derivative valuation losses of $608,872 compared to
$218,748 for 2005, and non-recurring expenses related to registration
rights penalties of $49,314 for the first quarter 2006 compared to zero for
the first quarter 2005. On February 1, 2006, the SEC declared the
company's registration statement filed on Form SB-2 effective, and as a
result the registration rights penalties have stopped accruing.
During the first quarter 2006, the company incurred total software
development costs of $115,463, compared to $301,729 for the same period in
2005. In April 2006, the company launched a new release of QuickVerse
Mac® Universal Application. The QuickVerse Mac Universal Application is
the first-to-market software for G-series and Intel® Apple® Mac
systems. QuickVerse Mac, a leading Bible study software, applies best in
class technology with a Mac interface to bring Biblical knowledge to all
Apple Mac users. Both QuickVerse Black Box Edition and White Box Edition
Universal Application are available, and current registered users of
QuickVerse Mac can download this new version for free at QuickVerse.com.
Full details of the company's financials are contained in the company's
Form 10-QSB for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2006, filed on Edgar,
which is available at www.sec.gov.
Kirk Rowland, FindEx.com's Chief Financial Officer, commented, "We were
pleased to remain cash positive in the first quarter, despite gross
revenues being impacted by a number of factors, as we continued to control
our expenses. FindEx has become a more efficient and productive enterprise
and we are projecting operating expenses to remain flat in the second and
third quarters of 2006. Our center of attention is to improve top line
growth by continuing to introduce new products and platforms, such as our
recently launched first-to-market QuickVerse Mac Universal Application for
Bible study. We anticipate these new product introductions and consistent
customer upgrades by our loyal installed base of users will help ramp
revenue and transition the Company to profitability."
