(FOUNTAIN VALLEY, CA) CAM Commerce Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ: CADA) reported 21% increase in revenues to $6.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004 compared to $5.2 million for the same period of fiscal 2003. Net income for the three months ended June 30 2004 increased to $721,000 or $0.17 per fully diluted share, compared to $86,000 or $0.03 per share for the quarter ended June 30, 2003. The figures for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 included $170,000 in additional revenue and $126,000 in net income related to a change in the accounting estimate, for the three months ended June 30, 2004 were $6.1 million and $595,000 or $0.14 per fully diluted share, respectively. The change in accounting estimate resulted fron the Company's ability to better estimate the payment processing revenues based on the accumulation of sufficient historical information required to analyze trends and formulate a reasonable estimate. In prior periods, payment processing revenues were recognized on a cash basis due to the lack of historical information available to make reliable estimate. The June quarter was the Company's seventh consecutive quarter of increased revenues and fifth consecutive quarterly profit increase.

Revenues for the nine months ended June 30, 2004 increased 16% to 17.4 million compared to $15.0 million for the same period of fiscal 2003. Net income for the nine months ended June 30, 2004 was $1.6 million or $0.41 per fully diluted share, compared to a net loss of $(410,000) or $(0.13) per share. Revenues and net income, excluding the effect of the change in accounting estimate, for the nine months ended June 30, 2004 were $17.2 million and $1.4 million or $0.38 per fully diluted share, respectively.

The results included income tax expenses for the State of California, based on California's suspension of the use of net operating loss carryforwards. The Company does not currently pay Federal income taxes due to the utilization of net operating loss carryforwards.

As of June 30, 2004, the Company had $16.6 million in cash and marketable securities, or $4.46 per shares outstanding at June 30, 2004, compared to $12.4 million at September 30, 2003, or $3.82 per share based on shares outstanding at September 30, 2003.

"In the June quarter we saw modest improvement in system sales, while X-Charge business continued to show strong growth resulting in the continuing trend of higher earnings on increasing revenues," said Geoff Knapp, CEO. "We are not seeing any significant improvement in market conditions for the system sales side even with an improving economy; although overall conditions of the business do appear to be better than at any time in the past 3 years. Nearly all of the improvement in our results over the past several quarters has been directly related to a better business model that emphasizes high margin recurring revenue, customer satisfaction and buildingour brands. X-Charge payment processing revenues, excluding the additional revenue related to the change in accouting estimate, were $916,000 for the June quarter of 2004. The revenues more than doubled from the same quarter a year ago. The reseller channel for X-Charge continues to expand with approximately 100 active resellers, and interest from new potential resellers remains positive."
