ACEC Ace Comm Corp (MM)

ACE*COMM Corporation (NASDAQ:ACEC), a global provider of service delivery solutions and advanced operations support systems (OSS) for wireline and wireless telecommunications operators, today announced that, based on a preliminary review of results for the second quarter ended December 31, 2006, it expects to report revenue of approximately $3.1 million and a net loss of approximately $2.5 million. Final results for the quarter will be announced on Tuesday, February 6, 2007. Chairman and Chief Executive Officer George Jimenez commented: �We continue to experience delays by several significant customers in the award and implementation of certain large, complex projects employing our core products, as described in our first quarter 2007 earnings announcement. In addition, development of new opportunities for our traditional products has slowed in the face of industry consolidation and intensifying competition. �In contrast, we continue to be encouraged by the expanding opportunities to provide value-added services to wireless operators, an area in which ACE*COMM has positioned itself for growth with our Patrol Suite of products. Since our first Tier 1 customer went live in Atlantic Canada last November, with a subscriber service powered by our award-winning and patent-pending Parent Patrol� solution, we have generated favorable interest from several Tier 1 wireless carriers. Last quarter, a U.S. wireless carrier with more than one million subscribers also selected our Parent Patrol� solution. In recent months, we have additionally announced channel agreements with Alcatel-Lucent and VeriSign to offer Patrol Suite services to more than 200 major carriers using their combined hosted services environments. �Our goal is to firmly establish ACE*COMM as a major player in the wireless value-added services sector within the next 12 months. This strategic initiative builds on our industry expertise, service quality, unique product innovation, and customer and channel relationships. In the process, we aim to diversify our customer base, and improve ACE*COMM�s revenue visibility and stability by providing more products and services under a recurring revenue business model. We will discuss how we plan to achieve these goals the during February 6, 2007 earnings conference.� About ACE*COMM ACE*COMM is a global provider of value added services, network business intelligence and advanced operations support systems (OSS) solutions for telecommunications service providers and enterprises.
