REDWOOD SHORES, Calif., Aug. 14, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Communication Intelligence Corporation ("CIC") (OTCQB:CICI), a leading supplier of electronic signature and other software solutions enabling secure and cost-effective management of document-based digital transactions, today reported total revenue of $473,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2014, an increase of $210,000, or 80%, compared to total revenue of $263,000 for the same quarter in the prior year. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, total revenues were $774,000, an increase of $276,000, or 55%, compared to total revenue of $498,000 for the same period in the prior year.
"While our first half revenue remained below expectations, we welcome the improvement recorded both with respect to last year and to the first quarter of 2014," said Philip Sassower, chairman and chief executive officer for CIC. "We believe that the company's midterm outlook for growth remains strong."
For the quarter ended June 30, 2014, operating expenses were $1,394,000, a decrease of $47,000, or 3%, compared to operating expenses of $1,441,000 in the prior year. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, operating expenses were $2,760,000, a decrease of $177,000, or 6%, compared to operating expenses of $2,937,000 for the same period in the prior year. These comparative decreases were primarily due to the aforementioned increase in revenue.

This decrease was primarily due to the aforementioned increase in revenue, as well as a decrease in the non-cash expense related to the accretion of beneficial conversion feature on preferred share issuances, offset by an increase in interest expense related to the warrant issued in connection with the ICG credit facility and in the amount charged for preferred stock dividends issued in kind.

This increase was primarily due to increases in interest expense, in the non-cash expense related to the accretion of beneficial conversion feature on preferred share issuances and in the amount charged for preferred stock dividends issued in kind, offset by the aforementioned higher revenues and lower operating expenses.
