TenFold Announces Estimated Third Quarter 2004 Results

 

SALT LAKE CITY, UtahOctober 4, 2004 – TenFold® Corporation (OTC: TENF.OB), provider of the EnterpriseTenFold platform for building and implementing enterprise applications, today announced estimated financial results for its third quarter of 2004, which ended September 30, 2004.

 

“We’ve observed in prior quarters that from the time we enter our quiet period until we publish our financial results, the reduced flow of information appears to create uncertainty about TenFold. So although we are not widely followed, we are providing an update on our expected status at the end of our third quarter,” said Dr. Nancy Harvey, TenFold’s President and CEO. “We will discuss progress and milestones on our quarterly conference call, currently scheduled for late October.”

 

Subject to the results of its quarterly close and auditor review, TenFold anticipates reporting Q3 revenues of approximately $1.6 million, and operating and net losses of approximately $2.3 million. TenFold’s net cash outflow for Q3 is approximately $2.2 million and ending Q3 cash approximately $6.9 million. With these estimated Q3 results, TenFold affirms its prior guidance that it expects to be profitable for the year.

 

“These results are consistent with expected trends as we transition TenFold from a services company to a product company. As we convert our business model from a services company to a technology-product company, we are transitioning old-model, consulting customers to self-sufficiency, and are experiencing an expected decline in history-based, consulting-services revenues. The loss also reflects our continued investment in specific marketing initiatives intended to drive TenFold toward the ‘Tipping Point’ by creating awareness and generating leads, as well as the cost of new direct sales staff to convert those leads to deals,” said Dr. Harvey.

 

“In the past quarter, we achieved important milestones that better position us to meet our operational and financial goals as we become a product company.

 

We conducted TenFold Seminars in four major markets in the US and UK. These seminars are crucial to branding our senior technology executives as industry luminaries and our product as innovative, yet highly practical and affordable. TenFold Seminars, and associated marketing initiatives, have also been instrumental in generating sales leads.


We tested several complementary marketing strategies including print advertising, an attention-getting billboard, and multi-touch marketing as awareness building and lead generating tools.

 

We garnered coverage of TenFold technology in two widely-read industry publications.

 

During the quarter, we announced 11 new TenFold customers, most of whom were signed in prior quarters, and successfully completed several small revenue-producing projects. These customers represent diverse industries – medical devices, biotechnology, semiconductors, healthcare, software and communications, among others. We are encouraged to see that our expectation that TenFold technology would be adopted in a number of different industries is beginning to happen.

 

We made significant progress in product development, announcing eight major new product features important to our existing and target customers. As previously announced, the next major release of our EnterpriseTenFold platform is on schedule and will be available shortly. This release includes more new features and substantial performance and productivity enhancements,” continued Dr. Harvey.

 

After the completion of its quarterly close and auditor review in late October, TenFold expects to release its financial results, hold a quarterly conference call and discuss important progress milestones.
