• Operating income was $3.9 million, or 21 % of revenue, compared with $5 million, or 25 % of revenue, in 2010.

Monica Iancu, Chairperson and CEO, commented: "We had a strong quarter, with two new wins and progress with some of our prospects and existing customers. We plan to increase the company size in the first half of 2012 to support the new projects and the multiple requests of engineering resources we receive from our growing customer base. We expect the latest important wins to have a positive impact on our 2012 results. At the same time, mainly due to consolidation of platforms at large existing customers where we supplied niche solutions, some maintenance agreements will not be renewed in 2012 and we expect that will bear some negative impact on our 2012 revenues and profitability. We feel that we reached many of our targets -- very high visibility, increased average deal size, significant recurrent revenue and fully convergent technology. We believe that now, with our highly qualified team, our proven methodology and technology we can aim to the next long term target -- internal growth."

Dividend Distribution
Based on our dividend policy and taking into consideration the strong cash flow in 2011 and the remaining cash after the distribution, the Board declared on February 29, 2012 a cash dividend of $0.24 per share before withholding tax.

"Given our strong cash position ($19 million as of December 31, 2011) and our long-standing positive operating cash flow, we believe that our dividend policy enhances shareholders value and that we are well positioned and have the required resources to respond to potentially increasing market needs," stated Monica.
