First Quarter 2008 Financial Highlights -- Revenue for the first quarter, ended March 31, 2008 rose 265% to $7.3 million from $2.0 million for the same period in the prior year. This significant growth in revenue primarily resulted from the acquisitions completed in the second and fourth quarter of 2007. -- Operating income from its three operating segments (which excludes all corporate operating expenses), before depreciation and amortization, for the first quarter ended March 31, 2008, increased to $77,220 from an operating loss of $399,464 for the same period in the prior year. -- Operating loss increased to $1,655,807 for the first quarter, ended March 31, 2008, from a loss of $865,476 for the same period in the prior year. Non-cash charges associated with stock based compensation, depreciation and amortization, totaling $991,521 in the first quarter of 2008, versus charges of $160,701 for these same items in the comparable quarter of 2007 were responsible for the increase in operating loss. In addition, deferred compensation of $110,289 is included in the 2008 expense and was recorded later in the year for 2007. Excluding these items the operating loss was reduced to $553,997 from a comparable operating loss of $704,775 for the same period in the prior year. Review and Outlook
Chairman and CEO Patrick Dolan said, "We are pleased to announce our continuing improvement in both top and bottom line financial performance from our combined operating segments. We continue to execute on our business plan to establish BPOMS as the leading provider of BPO services to the middle market and anticipate that the results of those efforts will be evident in the coming quarters."
"Looking forward we remain very optimistic concerning our business prospects for 2008 and beyond," Dolan said. "Our recent warrant exercise, which raised $5.6 million, has provided the company with a stronger balance sheet to support the continued execution of our business plan," he added.
"As a legitimate alternative to large Tier 1 service providers for middle market customers, BPOMS offers a comprehensive service offering with a high-touch customer service that is priced to suit middle market needs. As a result, we believe we will continue to experience dramatic business growth. By consolidating the best technologies and business processes in what is currently a very fragmented marketplace, we continue to position ourselves to become the leading provider of end-to-end back office sourcing solutions for middle market enterprises," Dolan concluded.
