(FOUNTAIN VALLEY, CA) CAM Commerce Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ: CADA) reported revenues of $5.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2003, compared to $5.5 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2002. Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2003 was $276,000 or $0.08 per share, compared to $52,000 or $0.02 per share for the quarter ended September 30, 2002.

Revenues for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2003 were $20.1 million compared to $20.5 million for fiscal year ended September 30, 2002. Net loss for the year ended September 30, 2003 was $(134,000) or $(0.04) per share, compared to a profit of $284,000 or $0.09 per share for the year ended September 30, 2002. The net income for fiscal 2002 included an income tax benefit of $365,000 and a $715,000 pre-tax gain from the sale of the Company’s Access Retail Management (Access) consulting business. Fiscal 2002 also included consulting revenues of $465,000 generated from the Access consulting business that was sold in May 2002. As of September 30, 2003, the Company had $12.4 million in cash and marketable securities, or $3.82 per share based on shares outstanding at September 30, 2003, compared to $10.6 million at September 30, 2002, or $3.41 per share based on shares outstanding at September 30, 2002.

"I feel this quarter's results showed solid evidence that we are on track with the financial and strategic goals we have been stating for the past two years," said Geoff Knapp, CEO. "While system sales were slow for the quarter, we were able to improve our bottom line and deliver a respectable profit. This is almost entirely attributable to our continued growth in X-Charge payment processing revenues and reduced expense levels achieved over the past couple of quarters. X-Charge revenue more than doubled in the 4th quarter as compared to the same quarter in the prior year, and also more than doubled for the fiscal year. We generated $1.8 million in cash this past year and we believe our outlook is bright. We have put our company in a position to succeed even if we continue to experience the challenging market conditions of the past few years. X-Charge sign-ups are continuing at historical highs and I am also optimistic we will see improvements in our core system sales business in 2004."
