"We are pleased to see continuing increases in our recurring 'software as a service' (SaaS) software subscription revenues," said Ronald A. Woessner, COPsync's Chief Executive Officer. "These recurring subscription revenues, the bedrock of the company's business model, are expected to become a proportionately higher percentage of our total revenues over time. We expect this to mitigate the 'lumpiness' in our total revenues, particularly evident the last two quarters, created by the ebb and flow of hardware sales from one quarter to another, thus creating a more predictable quarter-over-quarter revenue progression."
Mr. Woessner continued, "Also, we are very pleased by the strong sales order bookings in Q2, which is the largest order bookings quarter since mid-2013. Looking forward, we expect consistently to see significantly higher levels of sales order bookings than historically achieved, namely because, (a) the Company has changed sales personnel and optimized its sales processes, and (b) the Company is beginning to target larger, metropolitan law enforcement agencies. The Company is continuing its focused, direct sales efforts in Texas with the objective of bringing substantially all of the Texas local law enforcement agencies and schools onto the COPsync Network and the CS911 threat alert network. Further, its indirect sales efforts outside of Texas are expanding the COPsync footprint, with customers in New Hampshire, Louisiana, Massachusetts, California, New York, and North Carolina."
