(FOUNTAIN VALLEY, CA) CAM Commerce Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ: CADA) reported net income for the three months ended December 31, 2005 increased 85% to $742,000 or $.18 per fully diluted share, as compared to $402,000 or $.10 per share for the same quarter in the prior fiscal year. Revenues for the quarter increased 14% to $7.0 million, compared to $6.2 million for the comparable quarter of the prior fiscal year, as a result of an 85% increase in X-Charge payment processing revenues over the same quarter of last year.

Record 1st Quarter Profit Margin and Pre-Tax Profit Achieved

Pre-tax profit margins in the quarter were a record 17%, compared to 11% for the comparable quarter of fiscal 2005. Pre-tax profit was $1.2 million, which was also a company record. The higher margins are primarily the result of a continuing change in revenue mix to higher margin, recurring X-Charge payment processing revenues, which represented 37% of total company revenues in the first quarter of fiscal 2006, as compared to 23% in the first quarter of fiscal 2005. Total recurring revenues (service plus payment processing) were 56% of total revenues in the quarter. The results for the three months ended December 31, 2005 included $42,000 in compensation expense, related to the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R in this quarter, for stock options that were previously granted to employees. Prior to SFAS123R adoption, compensation expense related to employee stock options was not recorded in the financial statements but disclosed in the footnotes as required under previous accounting rules.

X-Charge Performance – Record New Installations

During the quarter, the company installed a record 922 new X-Charge payment processing accounts, as compared to 707 for the same period of last year. As of December 31, 2005, the company had between 5,500 and 6,000 live payment processing accounts. The company’s payment processing portfolio currently represents approximately $1.9 billion in annual credit card transaction volume. The company's X-Charge reseller base grew during the quarter to 222 resellers who had earned residual income from their active X-Charge processing accounts during the quarter, as compared to 132 at the same time last year, an increase of 90 resellers over the past 12 months. The company is actively marketing to these resellers to bring in new X-Charge processing accounts.

Cash Dividend

In keeping with the company’s previously stated policy to pay out approximately 75% of net income as a dividend to shareholders each quarter, the Board of Directors has declared a dividend of $.14 per share for fiscal 2006 1st quarter results, to be paid on April 14, 2006 to shareholders of record on April 4, 2006. “The December quarter came in as expected with company profit margins continuing to increase to record levels due to our X-Charge payment processing revenue,” said Geoff Knapp, CEO. “System sales showed a small decline, but we are optimistic that it will turn around by the 2nd half of this year if not before. The leading indicators for this business suggest we have a good chance of seeing a more positive trend towards the middle of the year. X-Charge continued to be our winner. We experienced the strong seasonal uptick in revenues during this quarter as we have expected and we were also able to install a record number of new X-Charge payment processing accounts during the quarter.”
