REDWOOD SHORES, Calif., March 31, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Communication Intelligence Corporation ("CIC") (OTCQB:CICI), a leading supplier of electronic signature and business document work flow solutions, today reported total revenue of $1,418,000 for the year ended December 31, 2013, a decrease of $960,000, or 40%, compared to total revenue of $2,378,000 for the prior year.
"We completed a challenging 2013, in which we invested heavily in new technology," said Philip Sassower, chairman and chief executive officer for CIC. "Our new software platform enables bi-directional on-premise and Cloud server migration. It supports both enterprise-wide and workflow-specific solutions, and can be quickly and efficiently deployed. This development effort represented a necessary and major step forward in terms of rapid enterprise integration and deployment for electronic signature, as well as the scalability needed for managing tens of millions of simple-to-complex transactions within a single enterprise. The new SignatureOne® Enterprise was released near the end of the year and supported the higher revenue run rate achieved in the last three months of the year. With our product transition now complete, the successful completion of our recently announced funding round and a strong pipeline of opportunities, we remain highly confident in CIC's ability to resume its earlier growth trend."
For the year ended December 31, 2013, operating expenses were $5,715,000, an increase of $283,000, or 5%, compared to operating expenses of $5,432,000 in the prior year. This increase was primarily due to higher stock option expenses and outsourced engineering services, offset by lower commissions and professional services.
For the year ended December 31, 2013, the net loss attributable to common stockholders was $8,099,000, an increase of $1,355,000, or 20%, compared to a net loss attributable to common stockholders of $6,744,000 in the prior year. This increase was primarily due to the $1,243,000 increase in loss from operations from 2012 to 2013, resulting from lower revenue and an increase in certain non-cash charges related to our funding activities, including net charges of $227,000 related to certain warrant issuances and a $67,000 loss on extinguishment of debt. This was offset by a decrease of $324,000 in charges associated with preferred stock beneficial conversion features and dividends and a gain of $108,000 on derivative liability.
Additional financial information regarding CIC's operating results for the year ended December 31, 2013, will be available in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K that will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and available at www.sec.gov.
