Crossroads Systems Reports Fiscal Second Quarter 2016 Financial Results

June 2, 2016 4:05 PM EDT

AUSTIN, Texas, June 2, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Crossroads Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: CRDS), an intellectual property licensing company, reported financial results for its fiscal second quarter ended April 30, 2016.

On March 22, 2016, Crossroads sold its product business to Canadian-based StrongBox Data Solutions, Inc. The presentation of the company's quarterly financial results excludes product revenues and expenses, which are now reflected as discontinued operations.

Intellectual property license revenue for the fiscal second quarter was $210,000, compared to $190,000 in the same quarter a year ago. Gross profit was $161,000, or 77 percent of total revenue, compared to $174,000 or 92 percent of total revenue in the same quarter a year ago.

Operating expenses for the second quarter decreased to $1.4 million, compared to $2.6 million in the same period a year ago, primarily due to reduced employee related costs and litigation expenses.

Net loss available to common stockholders was $(69,000) or less than a penny per share, compared to a net loss available to common stockholders of $(3.6) million or $(0.19) loss per share in the same quarter a year ago.

At April 30, 2016, cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash totaled $6.1 million compared to $7.7 million in the previous quarter.

Management CommentaryRichard K. Coleman, Jr., President and CEO at Crossroads Systems, said, "We are continuing to take those actions we believe are necessary to increase shareholder value. The sale of the product business protects our balance sheet and potential future proceeds from the sale of the non-'972 patents could enhance our cash position. We hope to have a positive outcome on the inter partes review (IPR) appeals within the next twelve months and will then petition the Western District Court to lift the stay on litigation and schedule trial dates as soon as possible."

Coleman, Jr., President and CEO, and CFO Jennifer Crane will host the presentation followed by a question and answer period.
