Q1 Highlights

Overall revenue increased 16%
·  
Net income improved 28% to  $693,000
·  
Transaction Payment Processing Segment continued to grow in excess of 30%
·  
Launched multi-currency processing solution for over 150 currencies
·  
Activated 696 new merchants
·  
Check Processing Segment revenue increased 24.8%
·  
All three business segments achieved profitability

“We are pleased with these profitable results.  Once again, all three of our business units achieved profitability.  Revenue from our TPP segment continued to grow at just over 30%.  We added nearly 700 new active merchants and developed and launched two new payment products including a multi-currency solution and a customized payment and reward software solution for an existing client.  We continued with the monetization of our intellectual property assets as we licensed one defendant involved in our patent litigation on a fully paid-up, non-recurring basis.  We believe these efforts will be key in supporting our growth objectives both organically and inorganically as a payments processor, particularly during this very exciting time as commerce convergence opportunities continue to advance across many different models and industries,” said Patrick H. Gaines, Chief Executive Officer of LML.
