b) Included in Interest expense, an accrual of $75,000 as an estimate of payments due our former lender equal to 1.5% of quarterly revenue for each of the first three fiscal quarters of 2014.

EBITDA for current quarter was about $292,000 as compared to about $212,000 for the same period in fiscal year 2012, an increase of 37.7%.

Revenue for fiscal year 2013 was approximately $6.36 million, down approximately 1.2% from the prior fiscal year. Net income for fiscal year 2013 was $360,000 or $.35 per share as compared to a net income of $444,000 or $.45 per share for the prior fiscal year. Fiscal year 2013 results included the above detailed non-recurring expenses totaling $183,000 related to the refinancing of our debt facility. EBITDA for fiscal year 2013 was approximately $1.12 million as compared to about $1.03 million for fiscal year 2012, an increase of about 9.4%.

Forward Looking Statements

This press release contains forward-looking statements relating to, among other matters, our outlook for fiscal year 2014 and beyond. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “projects,” “predicts,” “potential” and similar expressions intended to identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based on estimates, projections, beliefs, and assumptions and are not guarantees of future events or results. Actual future events and results could differ materially from the events and results indicated in these statements as a result of many factors, including, among others, (1) generate sufficient cash flow from our operations or other sources to fund our working capital needs and growth initiatives; (2) maintain good relationships with our lenders; (3) comply with the covenant requirements of the loan agreement; (4) successfully introduce and attain market acceptance of any new products and/or enhancements of existing products; (5) attract and retain qualified personnel; (6) prevent obsolescence of our technologies; (7) maintain agreements with our critical software vendors; (8) secure renewals of existing software maintenance contracts, as well as contracts with new maintenance customers; and (9) secure new business, both from existing and new customers.

These and other additional factors that may cause actual future events and results to differ materially from the events and results indicated in the forward-looking statements above are set forth more fully under “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2013. The Company undertakes no obligation to update these forward-looking statements to reflect actual results, changes in assumptions or changes in other factors that may affect such forward-looking statements.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to financial measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), this press release also contains non-GAAP financial measures. Specifically, the Company has presented EBITDA, which is defined as Net income(loss) plus interest expense, tax expense, non-cash expenses such as depreciation, amortization, non cash loss (gain) and stock based compensation expense. The Company believes that the inclusion of EBITDA helps investors gain a meaningful understanding of the Company’s core operating results and enhances comparing such performance with prior periods, without the effect of non-operating expenses and non-cash expenditures. Management uses EBITDA, in addition to GAAP financial measures, as the basis for measuring our core operating performance and comparing such performance to that of prior periods. EBITDA is also the most important measure of performance in measuring compliance with the Company’s debt facility. EBITDA is not meant to be considered superior to or a substitute for results of operations prepared in accordance with GAAP. Reconciliations of EBITDA to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are set forth in the text of, and the accompanying tables to, this press release.
