Apivio is pleased to report a quarter with significant growth in revenue and positive earnings. The third quarter is traditionally slower than the second quarter due to seasonal trends in our market in South Korea. This quarter was different as our major customers continued with sales promotional activities designed to stimulate revenue growth; and Apivio benefited from the resulting strong demand for its VoIP phones in that market. In addition, Apivio shipped $1 million of UT880 android desk phones to NEC in the quarter. Consequently revenue increased 52% from $11.1 million in Q3 2014 to $16.9 million this quarter.

Rob Bakshi, President and CEO said "We are pleased with the unexpectedly high performance of the last quarter. Our South Korean subsidiary continues to grow and provide the engine for business development activities in the North American market. Despite some short delays, the NEC relationship is expected to enhance and accelerate. Business development efforts in North America for our L2 Wi-Fi phone are underway as we continue to perfect the technology".
