Revenues decreased 38% to $6.703 million for the six months ended December 31, 2008 from $10.863 million during the comparable prior year period.

Net loss on a GAAP basis was $3.663 million for the six months ended December 31, 2008, compared to a net profit of $447,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2007. Voxware's financial statements for the quarter ended December 31, 2008, can be found in its Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 17, 2009.
“During our second fiscal quarter, we saw a slight revenue increase over our first quarter,” said Scott Yetter, Voxware CEO. “We have implemented cost reduction measures, and the benefit of these steps will begin to be seen in our financial results in subsequent financial reporting periods. Furthermore, our cash position remains strong as we move into the second half of the year.”
“Large enterprises continue to seriously evaluate Voxware’s software, and we are confident that cost containment projects such as implementing voice in distribution centers will be among the first to be funded when the economic climate improves."
Net loss on a non-GAAP basis was $1.392 million and $3.053 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended December 31, 2008. The difference between the GAAP and non-GAAP net loss is attributable to non-cash stock-based compensation, which was $301,000 and $610,000, respectively for the three and six months ended December 31, 2008. A reconciliation of GAAP measures with non-GAAP measures can be found at the end of this release.
