Ampex Corporation (Nasdaq:AMPX) today reported net income of $2.5 million ($0.64 per diluted share) on revenues of $12.4 million in the first quarter of 2007 compared to a net loss of $1.9 million ($0.49 loss per diluted share) on revenues of $8.1 million in the first quarter of 2006. Key factors affecting each quarter�s financial results included: Licensing revenue totaled $4.7 million in the first quarter of 2007 compared to $2.6 million in the first quarter of 2006. Licensing revenue from running royalties recognized on current period shipments by our licensees totaled $2.8 million in the first quarter of 2007 compared to $2.6 million in the first quarter of 2006. In the first quarter of 2007, a camcorder manufacturer made a lump sum prepayment of license obligations covering future periods totaling $1.9 million, which was recognized in licensing revenue. There were no such prepayments in 2006. Litigation costs incurred in connection with the Kodak lawsuit declined significantly as expected to $0.3 million ($0.07 per diluted share) in the first three months of 2007 from $3.5 million ($0.91 per diluted share) in the first three months of 2006. On November 21, 2006, the District Court granted final judgment in favor of Kodak. We have appealed this decision to the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. We have been advised that oral argument could occur later in 2007 and a final decision should be expected early next year. The Recorders segment earned operating income of $1.4 million ($0.37 per diluted share) in the first quarter of 2007 compared to $0.6 million ($0.17 per diluted share) in the comparable period in 2006. Total Recorders segment product and service revenues increased to $7.7 million in the first quarter of 2007 from $5.5 million in the first quarter of 2006, primarily due to increased sales of our solid state and disk-based instrumentation recorders. Backlog of orders totaled $4.1 million at March 31, 2007. In 2006, the Company received nonrecurring reimbursements of $1.5 million (shown as a reduction of 2006 selling and administrative expenses) and $0.8 million (shown in 2006 as other income), from non operating investment activities. There were no reimbursements or other income realized in 2007. As a result of the foregoing, operating income (loss) for the Company�s business segments and unallocated corporate expenses were as follows: For the three months ended March 31, ------------------------------------ 2007 2006 ------ ------ (in millions) Licensing segment $ 3.9 $(1.5) Recorders segment 1.4 0.6 Unallocated corporate (1.9) (1.0) ------ ------ Operating income (loss) $ 3.4 $(1.9) ------ ------ We continue to evaluate possible infringement of our other digital imaging patents that may be used or useful in digital still cameras, camera equipped cellular phones and other consumer imaging products. As previously announced, we intend to explore additional ways, including possible arrangements with independent patent research and evaluation companies and other third parties, to monetize our intellectual property.
