The Company reported total consolidated third quarter revenues of $27.4 million for the three months ending March 31, 2011 as compared with $13.5 million for the same period in the prior fiscal year. The prior year amounts reflect only the pre-merger revenues of Rand Worldwide. The overall gross margin percentage reported for the quarter increased to 46.0% due to growth in all revenue categories. Revenues for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 and March 31, 2010 were $65.9 million and $38.5 million, respectively.

Thus, for its third fiscal quarter, the Company reported net income of approximately $2.1 million, or $0.04 per share, compared with a loss of $620,000, or $(0.04) per share for the same period in the prior year. For the nine months ended March 31, 2011, the company reported net income from continuing operations of $1.2 million, or $0.01 per share, compared with a loss of $3.9 million, or $(0.15) for the same period in the prior year.

“We are very pleased to report such positive results for this quarter, especially considering that we were in the midst of integrating our systems and processes following our August 2010 merger. This marks two sequential quarters with strong revenue and net income levels and is an exciting message to take to our employees, customers and investors,” stated Lawrence Rychlak, President and Chief Financial Officer of Rand Worldwide. “These results further solidified our improving balance sheet and significantly added to our overall liquidity and financial strength. Now that our merger and integration efforts are substantially complete, we look forward to executing our operating and strategic plans and delivering added value to our shareholders,” added Mr. Rychlak.

Company Chief Executive Officer Marc Dulude added, “This quarter’s strong revenue numbers were in large part driven by IMAGINiT, our Autodesk software and services business. Our IMAGINiT service business started the new calendar year with significant revenue growth across all of the industries that we serve.” Dulude continued, “In addition, we were also able to report strong year over year revenue growth in other divisions including ASCENT, our courseware division, and our facilities management group. This growth across most of our business units was rewarding and we hope to leverage this momentum as we go into the final quarter of our fiscal year end.”
