CTI Group Reports First Quarter 2008 Results
CTI Group (Holdings) Inc. (OTCBB: CTIG),
an international provider of electronic invoice processing and management
(EIM), enterprise communications management software and services
solutions, and carrier class voice over internet protocol ("VoIP")
management applications, reported revenues for the three months ended March
31, 2008 of $5,339,212 compared to $5,054,560 for the three months ended
March 31, 2007. The increase in revenues was primarily associated with
increased EIM revenues generated in the UK. The Company reported a net loss
for the three months ended March 31, 2008 of $(179,843) or $(0.01) cents a
share compared to a net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2007 of
($586,701) or (0.02) cents a share. The reduction in net loss for the three
months ended March 31, 2008 was a combination of increased revenue
generation and reduced selling, general and administration expenses
associated with certain cost efficiencies realized in the operations of the
EIM and telemangement business segments.
Commenting on the results, John Birbeck, CTI President and CEO, stated, "We
are pleased with the improvement in performance, especially the performance
of our acquired operations, CTI Billing Solutions, Ltd. in Blackburn, UK,
which provides EIM software and solutions to major mobile phone carriers in
Europe. We believe these operations provide us with a growing recurring
revenue stream with leading international telecommunications service
providers, with the emphasis on mobility and new on-line services."
Commenting on product developments, Mr. Birbeck stated, "We continue to
develop our VoIP applications to meet new market opportunities and the
demands of Tier 1 Carriers. We believe we are well positioned for growth in
the VoIP market as the Carriers begin deployment in the future. Current and
proposed government legislation in Europe regarding financial services
companies may increase the demand for VoIP Call Recording more rapidly as
VoIP systems are deployed by their Carriers."
The Company's new hosted voice and applications are expected to help
eliminate customer resistance to conversion to next-generation platforms,
while creating new revenue opportunities for service providers through the
delivery of compelling value added services. CTI Group's new products
