Company Highlights for the Quarter: Made progress in transitioning
business to value-added services model Signed contract with
VeriSign to offer Parent Patrol� to its customers in a managed
services arrangement Ranked as a leading developer of parental
controls solutions for the mobile youth market by iGR Research
Published results of survey indicating 75% of US parents agree that
mobile service should offer parental controls feature for children
with cell phones Added Movilnet to customer base for advanced
mediation solution ACE*COMM Corporation (NASDAQ:ACEC), a global
provider of value-added services and advanced operations support
systems (OSS) solutions, today reported financial results for the
quarter ended September 30, 2006, the first quarter of its 2007
fiscal year. The Company reported revenues of $3.0 million for the
quarter, which compares to $6.7 million for the comparable quarter
of fiscal year 2006. Net loss for the quarter was $2.7 million, or
$0.16 per share, compared to a net profit of $99 thousand, or $0.01
per share, for same quarter of the prior year. �Consistent with our
preliminary review, first quarter results were clearly affected by
some of our customers and prospects who delayed or postponed large
projects,� said George T. Jimenez, CEO of ACE*COMM. �While we
continue to see the relevant use and value of our traditional
products within these customer groups, and anticipate that the
second half of the fiscal year will show significant improvement
over the first half, we are still faced with uncertainty into the
timing of these larger transactions. This dependence on large
orders has been one of the continuing challenges of our traditional
business model � a situation that we believe will be mitigated as
we reposition into the recurring revenue model of a value-added
services approach.� Added Mr. Jimenez: �We continue to make
progress on our market penetration efforts around Parent Patrol�,
the first of our Patrol suite of value-added services. Most
significantly, we signed a contract with VeriSign that will make
our Patrol suite available to VeriSign�s service provider customers
in a managed services arrangement. With more that 250 mobile
service provider customers and over 600 million accessible mobile
subscribers1 globally, we believe that VeriSign has the
infrastructure and sales organization to help drive the market
penetration for these products more quickly.� �During the quarter,
we continued our market research efforts to substantiate the
benefits of our Parent Patrol� suite of value-added services,�
concluded Mr. Jimenez. �We commissioned independent survey
specialists, ITracks, to poll 1,000 U.S. parents on their attitudes
on youth mobile issues. Seventy five percent of the parents polled
felt service providers should offer parental controls options for
wireless teens, and 59 percent indicated they would provide a cell
phone to a child under the age of 12 if their cell phone provider
offered easy-to-use parental control capabilities. We were also
pleased to be identified as leaders in the parental controls space
by third party research firm, iGR.� The Company reiterated its
guidance for the second quarter of fiscal 2007, announced on
October 10, 2006, which called for revenue to be in the range of
$4.0 million to $5.0 million. Annual Shareholder�s Meeting The
