(FOUNTAIN VALLEY, CA) CAM Commerce Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ: CADA) reported revenues of $5.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2003, compared to $4.9 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2003. Net income for the three months ended December 31, 2003 was $375,000 or $0.10 per share, compared to a net loss of $(184,000) or $(0.06) per share for the quarter ended December 31, 2002.

As of December 31, 2003, the Company had $13.3 million in cash and marketable securities, or $4.01 per share based on shares outstanding at December 31, 2003, compared to $12.4 million at September 30, 2003, or $3.82 per share based on shares outstanding at September 30, 2003.

“The $0.10 per share net profit we earned in our December quarter made it one of the best quarters since our Y2K driven December quarter in 1999,” said Geoff Knapp, CEO. “This significant improvement in our results continues the trend of the last couple quarters and is a further indication that we have created a positive fundamental shift in our business model. We have a net profit for the trailing 12 months as well as a great start to our new fiscal year. During the quarter, we saw a slight improvement in system sales and continued strong growth in our X-Charge payment processing business, which again more than doubled over the prior year. We now have more than 2,000 customers, whose gross combined credit card sales volume exceeds $500 million per year, processing with us on X-Charge. Reseller sign-ups of new X-Charge payment-processing customers have risen to approximately one-third of our total new business, and we expect this to continue to increase. We also brought live our initial group of Gift Card customers in December, and we have built-up demand for this new X-Charge product offering going into the New Year. Our backlog going into January for new systems was significantly higher than at the same time last year as December orders were the best we have seen in quite awhile. We continue to be optimistic that we have turned the corner and that our improved revenue mix and expense structure, when combined with growing revenues, will yield positive results going forward.”
