Quarterly Revenue of $1.1 Million; 4 Percent Year-Over-Year Growth
JACKSONVILLE, FL -- (Marketwired) -- 06/24/15 -- Information Systems Associates Inc. (OTCQB: IOSA) and its wholly-owned subsidiary Duos Technologies Inc. ("Duos"), a provider of intelligent security analytical technology solutions, are pleased to announce Duos' first quarter 2015 pro-forma financial results. As per its completed merger on April 1, 2015 and pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated February 6, 2015, Duos became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Information Systems Associates Inc. For the three months ended March 31, 2015, ISA's Duos generated $1,102,095 revenue, which represented a 4 percent increase from the first quarter of 2014.
Financial Highlight for the First Quarter Ended March 31, 2015
Revenue breakdown for the first quarter ended March 31, 2015 was 46 percent project revenue and 54 percent maintenance and technical support. Overall gross profit margin improved to 64 percent, from 58 percent in the year ago comparable period. Operating loss for the first quarter ended March 31, 2015 was $364,531, which was similar to the year ago comparable period. The first quarter 2015 operating loss was negatively impacted by a large increase in one-time professional fees related to the reverse merger activities.
Gianni Arcaini, Chairman and CEO of ISA and Duos Technologies, stated, "We are delighted to be able to demonstrate growth in our business and share our excitement in our business prospects with our public shareholders. We will continue to report our progress through regular press releases." Mr. Arcaini added, "We have validated our technologies and applications with significant project awards. We look forward to a year with strong revenue growth, as well as increased transparency and consistent communication with our shareholders."
Adrian Goldfarb, CFO of ISA and Duos Technologies, commented, "We are pleased to give our shareholders a first look at operating results for our Duos subsidiary. While past results are not indicative of future performance, I believe that the strong start by Duos in what has traditionally been a weak quarter bodes well for the future. As the merged companies continue executing against the strategic plan laid out by Mr. Arcaini, I believe we will be in position to comment further and give some guidance later this year."
Further details as to Duos' financial information and results of operations for the first quarter ended March 31, 2015, and the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2013 are in the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 17, 2015.
