HOUSTON, Feb. 14, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- US Dataworks, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: UDWK), a leader in payment processing solutions, today announced its financial results for its 2011 fiscal third quarter ended December 31, 2010.

Revenue for the third quarter of fiscal 2011 was $2.1 million compared to revenue of $1.7 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 and revenue of $2.3 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2010.

Net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2011 was $224,000, or $0.01 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $274,000, or ($0.01) per share, in the second quarter of fiscal 2011 and net income of $74,000, or $0.00 per diluted share, for the third quarter of fiscal 2010.

Charles E. Ramey, Chairman and CEO of US Dataworks, commented, “We are pleased to report sequential improvements in revenue and earnings over our second quarter of fiscal 2011.  Our Company is in the most exciting product expansion and platform transition since our founding, and we are delighted with the recent successful launch of our Clearingworks® payment processing platform as an ‘on-demand’ cloud computing service.”

Mr. Ramey continued, “While we will continue to work hard to serve our larger on-premise clients, our on-demand cloud delivery technology separates us from the pack.  We believe we are the only Company in the world that is able to offer this type of comprehensive, integrated, multi-channel streamlined payment processing service in a cloud computing environment that can save tens of thousands of companies 20%-60% on their payment processing costs.  This on-demand processing platform strategically positions us to pursue and participate in a rapidly growing market opportunity, which Gartner, a leading information and technology research and advisory company, expects to be a $2.6 billion market by 2013 with a compound annual growth rate of 54%.”

Mr. Ramey added, “We have two initial customers live in the on-demand environment for whom we are currently processing more than one million payments per month.  Additionally, our product pipeline is quite robust, and we believe will be able to grow rapidly in fiscal 2012 and beyond.  As we execute on this platform transition to address this huge market opportunity during the coming quarters, we will also be formulating the appropriate metrics to help investors understand how we measure our on-demand progress internally for this new business model.”
