(FOUNTAIN VALLEY, CA) CAM Commerce Solutions (NASDAQ: CADA) reported revenues of $4.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2002, unchanged from the same period in fiscal 2002. Excluding the $172,000 consulting revenue generated from Access Retail Management consulting business from the quarter ended December 31, 2001, revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2002 increased 4% in comparison. The net loss for the three months ended December 31, 2002 decreased 64% to $184,000 or $(0.06) per share, compared to a net loss of $506,000 or $(0.17) per share for the quarter ended December 31, 2001.

As of December 31, 2002, the Company had $10.9 million in cash and marketable securities, or $3.52 per share based on shares outstanding at December 31, 2002, compared to $10.6 million as of September 30, 2002. The Company is virtually debt free.

"Although we did not report a profit for our first quarter we made significant improvement in our product mix and margins, resulting in a $322,000 positive swing in operating results as compared to the same period last year," stated Geoff Knapp, CEO of CAM Commerce Solutions. "Our X-Charge payment processing revenue more than doubled over the same period a year ago and our service business was also up. This was offset by a decline in hardware sales, but the net result was a much more profitable revenue mix. While the market has been difficult, we have continued to make measurable progress toward our strategic plan and I feel we are nine months away, without help from an improving economy, from being in a position where we can earn a profit even in our lowest expected quarter for system sales. This is usually the period that revolves around the holiday season when retailers are extremely busy.”

“While it is never acceptable for quarterly earnings to result in a loss, there is much to be positive about in examining this quarter's results and we are optimistic that we are close to the beginning of a trend of consistent and growing profitability based on our trend of improved operating results of the past two years which is directly related to our strategic plan of building high margin recurring revenues."
