NGRU Netguru

netGuru, Inc. (Nasdaq: NGRU) reported financial results for fiscal 2007 first quarter ended June 30, 2006. In November 2005, the Company completed the sale of its Research Engineers International ("REI") business to Bentley Systems, Incorporated, and in January 2006 the Company sold its French subsidiary. All amounts pertaining to REI and the French subsidiary are accounted for as discontinued operations. Since November 2005, the special committee appointed by the Company's board of directors has been evaluating the possible divestiture of some of or all of the Company's remaining assets and operations, as well as possible mergers and/or strategic acquisitions for the Company and its information technology, collaborative software, and engineering business process outsourcing businesses. Discussions with a number of public and private entities have been, or are being, held. The Company anticipates entering into a merger and/or a sale agreement with one or more parties, but neither the timing nor completion of a transaction can be assured. However, due to the probability of the sale of the India operations of the Company, those operations are reported as assets and liabilities held for sale. Net revenues for the quarter were $870,000, compared to $796,000 in first-quarter fiscal 2006. Revenues from collaborative software sales and services were $450,000, compared to $242,000 in first-quarter last year; revenues from IT services were $420,000, compared to $554,000 in first-quarter fiscal 2006. Gross profit for the quarter was $509,000 versus $407,000 in first quarter a year ago. Total operating expenses for the quarter were $880,000 versus $688,000 in first-quarter fiscal 2006 due primarily to higher sales, general, and administrative expenses reflecting, in part, costs related to the Company's ongoing evaluations of strategic alternatives for its remaining operations. Operating loss for the quarter was $371,000, compared to an operating loss of $281,000 in first-quarter last year. Net loss for the quarter was $452,000, or $0.02 per share on 19,235,041 shares outstanding, and included a loss from discontinued operations of $82,000. For fiscal 2006 first quarter, net loss was $334,000, or $0.02 per share on 19,117,154 shares outstanding, and included income from discontinued operations of $80,000. The Company also stated that future capital requirements depend upon sales and marketing efforts, the development of new products and services, possible future corporate mergers or strategic acquisitions or divestitures, the progress of research and development efforts, competitive products and services, and other factors. The Company believes that the proceeds remaining from its sale of its REI business, together with its operating revenues and the proceeds from the sale of its French subsidiary, will be adequate to extinguish all of its remaining liabilities and fund its current operations through at least October 2006. However, to the extent the Company is in need of any additional financing, there can be no assurance that any such additional financing will be available on acceptable terms, or at all. In addition, any future financing may cause significant dilution to existing stockholders.
