Financial Highlights

Sales for the quarter ended December 31, 2005 were $4.9 million compared to $8.4 million in same quarter in the prior year. Year-to-date sales were $13.4 million compared to $18.7 million in the nine-month period ended December 31, 2004.

Digital imaging software sales during the third quarter, ended December 31, 2005 were $3.6 million versus $7.3 million in the same quarter of the prior year. In the nine month period ended December 31, 2005 digital imaging sales were $9.9 million, a decrease from $15.5 million in the same period in the prior year. These decreases were the result of a number of factors. Delayed email communications to customers related to the release of ACDSee™ 8.0 Photo Manager occurred as a result of integrity issues identified within the Company’s customer email lists. This resulted in domain blocks being placed on these email communications. A substantial portion of these domain blocks were subsequently lifted as a result of cleaning up the integrity issues and adopting new industry best practices in managing these customer lists going forward. In addition, the Company restructured an OEM contract and experienced delays in the German and Japanese product launches. The Company’s digital imaging software segment derives the majority of its revenues in U.S. dollars and Euros. Both the U.S. dollar and the Euro have weakened compared to the prior year, which resulted in a $1.0 million decrease in sales for the nine months ended December 31, 2005 compared to the prior and a decrease of $0.51 million in sales for the quarter ended December 31, 2005 compared to the prior year.

Technical drawing software sales increased from $1.1 million in the quarter ended December 31, 2004 to $1.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2005. In the nine month period ended December 31, 2005, technical drawing software sales increased from $3.2 million in the nine month period ending December 31, 2004 to $3.5 million in the current nine month period. The Company derives the majority of its technical illustration software revenue in U.S. dollars. The weakening U.S. dollar resulted in a $0.14 million reduction in revenue quarter over quarter and a $0.3 million reduction in revenue year over year to date.

Operating expenses were $5.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2005 compared to $5.7 million for the same quarter in the prior year. Operating expenses were $16.6 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2005 compared to $15.9 million for the same nine month period in the prior year. The increase in operating expenses year over year to date is primarily due to higher sales, marketing and customer service expenses and higher general and administrative expenses. Consolidated operating expenses, however, decreased quarter over quarter due to lower research and development expenses in particular in the technical illustration software segment where research and development expenses decreased by 52% quarter over quarter and by 46% year over year to date as a result of the April 2005 restructuring.

Net loss for the current quarter was $1.3 million compared to net earnings of $1.8 million in the third quarter of the previous fiscal year. Net loss for the nine months ended December 31, 2005 was $4.0 million compared to net earnings of $0.8 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2004.

Total assets at December 31, 2005 were $30.6 million, a decrease of $7.5 million, compared to $38.1 million at March 31, 2005. The Company’s cash position was $12.8 million at December 31, 2005 compared to $19.1 million at March 31, 2005. Working capital at December 31, 2005 decreased by $7.0 million from March 31, 2005 due to reductions in cash and cash equivalents and current future income tax assets.
