As of March 31, 2003, the Company had $10.9 million in cash and marketable securities, or $3.50 per share based on shares outstanding at March 31, 2003, compared to $10.6 million at September 30, 2002, or $3.41 per share based on shares outstanding at September 30, 2002. The Company is virtually debt free.

"While earnings and sales were below our expectations for the quarter due to continuing weak market conditions, our X-Charge payment processing revenues increased over 100% year over year," stated Geoff Knapp, CEO of CAM Commerce Solutions. "This part of our business has been a clear winner for us and is becoming increasingly more significant. As a result we have begun to reallocate resources from other areas of the business to X-Charge, to help fuel this profitable and growing part of our business."

"In response to weaker than expected results in our always challenging March quarter, we have cut our marketing budget in areas where we felt the dollars being spent were not providing an adequate return. We remain optimistic about the business as we continue to place emphasis on higher profit margin recurring revenues. This has the effect of gradually reducing our reliance on the sale of new systems, as the recurring revenues become a larger percentage of overall revenues. The systems business is still very important to us, but our strategy will better insulate us from unpredictable and changing market conditions".
