IRVINE, CA, April 17, 2006 – DataLogic
International, Inc., (OTC Bulletin Board: DLGI;
Berlin, Frankfurt Stock Exchange: 779612),
a provider of GPS-based mobile asset tracking, secured mobile
communications and network security, today announced its financial
results for the year ended December 31, 2005.
Financial Results
DataLogic International net revenues for the year ended December
31, 2005 were $17,522,795 as compared to net revenues of $14,255,054
for the year ended December 31, 2004. The 22.9% increase in
revenues year over year was primarily due to the growth of the
Company’s communications business segments.
Gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2005 was $2,153,348,
or 12% of revenues, as compared to gross profits of $2,661,991,
or 19% of revenues, for the prior year. The decrease in gross
profit was due primarily to the change in the composition of
cost of goods sold as a result of differing types of contracts
between 2005 and 2004 and due to the changing composition of
costs of goods sold and operating expenses as a result of acquisitions
in 2005.
Operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2005 were
$2,764,072 as compared to $3,653,430 for the prior year. The
decrease in operating expenses was mainly due to the large bad
debt write-offs in 2004 and secondarily due to the changing
composition of costs of goods sold and operating expenses as
a result of acquisitions in 2005. As noted above, cost of goods
sold increased accordingly.
Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2005 was $899,985
as compared to $538,827 for the prior year. The increase in
interest expense was primarily attributable to the inclusion
of a full 12 months of cost associated with the Company’s
notes and debt issuance related to the Laurus Master Fund financing
facility established in June, 2004.
As a result of the above, the Company’s net loss for
the year ended December 31, 2005 was $420,271, or a loss of
$0.01 per share, as compared to a net loss of $1,482,456, or
a loss of $0.04 per share in the prior year.
For the year ended December 31, 2005 the Company’s assets
consisted of cash and cash equivalents of $456,780, $1,886,505
in accounts receivable, $7,200 in marketable securities, and
$1,068,575 in inventory, as compared with $643,847 in cash and
cash equivalents, $1,630,570 in accounts receivable, $16,000
in marketable securities and $53,526 in inventory in the prior
year. The increase in inventory levels at December 31, 2005
as compared with December 31, 2004 results primarily from acquisitions
in 2005. For the year ended December 31, 2005 Company current
liabilities consisted of $2,189,688 in accounts payable and
accrued expenses and $1,532,651 in short-term debts, as compared
with $1,447,353 in accounts payable and accrued expenses and
$1,069,560 short-term debts in the prior year.
In preparing the financial statements for the year ended December
31, 2005 management performed a detailed analysis of the operations,
records and estimates used in all business segments and as a
result wrote off various non-performing assets and reclassified
transactions. This effort was necessary to provide the operating
foundation upon which to build and support the Company’s
anticipated growth in 2006 and beyond, and return the Company
to profitability.
Management Analysis
“We are very pleased with our results for 2005 and the
reduction in our net loss for the year. We grew revenues in

segments. We look forward to 2006 and continuing on the path
to returning the Company to profitability,” stated Keith
Moore, Chairman and CEO. “We are also dedicating more
resources to acquisition opportunities to increase market share
and provide additional services, revenue and cash flow.”
