  For the three months ended March 31, 2014
  For the three months ended March 31, 2014, the company reported revenues of $10.2 million, an increase of 2% when compared to $10.1 million in the same period in 2013. Recurring service revenues increased 10% from four new contracts implemented since the first quarter of 2013 and expansion of services with existing customers. Equipment revenues were approximately $0.4 million in the first quarter of 2014 compared to $1.2 million for the same period in 2013.

  Cost of revenue was $8.5 million, essentially unchanged from the same period a year ago. Gross profit for the first three months of 2014 was $1.7 million, or 17% of revenues, compared to $1.6 million or 16% for the same period of 2013. The gross margin improvement was a result of more contracts moving beyond the initial implementation phase, which require more upfront investment.

  Operating expenses for 2014 were $1.71 million, an increase of 2% from $1.67 million in the first quarter of 2013. Sales and marketing expenses fell by 26% due to the termination of a joint marketing agreement with a channel partner in 2013. General and administrative expenses increased 21% to $1.2 million due to non-recurring severance compensation and additional travel incurred for the purpose of promoting customer relations and extended new business development opportunities. The Company generated $0.03 million of operating income in the first quarter of 2014 compared to an operating loss of $0.1 million in first quarter of 2013.

  After excluding charges of $201,000 related to stock-based compensation, the non-GAAP measure of adjusted income from operations for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was $254,000 or 2% of revenue compared to $323,000 or 3% of revenue after excluding charges of $197,000 related to stock-based compensation and $190,000 in charges related to stock granted for marketing and consulting activities in the same period of 2013.

  Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was $71,000, or $0.00 per basic share, compared to a net loss of $230,000 or $0.01 per share, in the same period of 2013. The weighted average diluted shares outstanding increased to 22.3 million shares from 20.1 million in the first quarter of 2013.

  At March 31, 2014, the Company had $4.8 million of cash and cash equivalents, up from $4.7 million at December 31, 2013. Cash provided by operating activities amounted to $0.1 million compared to $1.0 million during the same period in 2013. Net working capital improved to $0.5 million at March 31, 2014 compared to $0.3 million at December 31, 2013.

  Paul Anthony, CFO of CynergisTek, explained: “We generated our sixth consecutive quarter of positive adjusted income from operations. Our achievement was impressive given the upfront investments we made in new contracts and new business development opportunities. We will continue to balance our goal of maintaining solid margins with investing prudently in future growth initiatives.”
