Versus Technology Announces First Quarter Results
Versus Technology Announces First Quarter Results

By: PR Newswire
Mar. 8, 2007 06:34 PM

TRAVERSE CITY, Mich., March 8 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Versus Technology, Inc. ("Versus" or the "Company") announced revenues of $1,133,000 for the fiscal quarter ended January 31, 2007, compared to $1,198,000 for the same period in 2006. Versus' quarterly revenues can vary significantly depending upon the timing of delivery of major customer projects. Accordingly, the revenues reported in any one quarter are not necessarily indicative of what full year results will be.

Gross profits as a percentage of revenues increased to 61% for the quarter from 59% for the same period in 2006. While sales and marketing expenses increased by 29% over the previous year, total operating expenses decreased by 1%.

Versus reported a net loss of $212,000 for the quarter, compared to a net loss of $375,000 for the same period in 2006. The decrease in net loss resulted primarily from no interest expense being incurred in the quarter ending January 31, 2007, compared to interest expense, including accretion of debt discount, of $229,000 in the quarter ending January 31, 2006, which more than offset lower income from operations.

Versus generated positive cash flow from operations and ended the quarter with a cash balance of $1,696,000, an increase of $295,000 from the start of the fiscal year.

For additional information please refer to the attached unaudited consolidated financial statements.
