(FOUNTAIN VALLEY, CA) CAM Commerce Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ: CADA) reported an 18% increase in revenues to $5.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004 compared to $4.9 million for the same quarter of fiscal 2003. Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2004 rose substantially to $475,000 or $0.12 per fully diluted share, compared to a net loss of $(312,000) or $(0.10) per share for the quarter ended March 31, 2003. The March 2004 quarter was the company’s fourth consecutive profitable quarter and sixth consecutive quarter of increased revenues. It was also the fourth consecutive quarterly profit increase.

For the six months ended March 31, 2004, revenue increased 13% to $11.1 million compared to $9.8 million for the same period in fiscal 2003. Net income for the six months ended March 31, 2004 increased to $850,000 or $0.23 per fully diluted share, compared to a net loss of $(496,000) or $(0.16) per share for the six months ended March 31, 2003.

As of March 31, 2004, the company had $15.4 million in cash and marketable securities, or $4.32 per share based on shares outstanding at March 31, 2004, compared to $12.4 million at September 30, 2003, or $3.82 per share based on shares outstanding at September 30, 2003.

The results included income tax expense for the State of California, based on California’s suspension of the use of net operating loss carryforwards. The company does not currently pay Federal income taxes due to the utilization of net operating loss carryforwards.

The company's CEO, Geoff Knapp commented, “The current quarter continues our upward trend of revenues and profits. This trend is the result of our significantly improved business model, which emphasizes high margin, recurring revenues. Even with seasonally higher marketing expense in the March quarter, we were able to show a sequential increase in earnings for the fourth consecutive quarter. The increase in revenues and profits was driven primarily by our X-charge payment processing business where revenues doubled again on a quarter over quarter basis as compared to the prior year. System revenues were also higher and contributed to the increase in profits.”
