Management Commentary

Richard K. Coleman, Jr., Interim President and CEO at Crossroads Systems, said, “While the second quarter presented us with execution and revenue delivery challenges, I remain extremely optimistic about our future. Very few companies can claim a solid base of revenue from historic products, tremendous potential from a disruptive new product, and an impressive and proven Intellectual Property portfolio. There is no question that we face execution challenges, but we have a dedicated and talented workforce focused on delivering shareholder value from these assets.”
