Parker H. "Pete" Petit, Chairman and CEO, said, "We are looking forward to seeing many of our investors tomorrow and to answering their questions.  I am sure a few of the questions will relate to the implementation of our new sales management system ("SMS") and whether the issues we experienced in the first quarter have been resolved.  I am happy to announce that all indicators denote that the vast majority of the issues have been addressed, and we appear to be back to business as usual.  We are pleased with our revenue trends through the first half of the quarter, and our overall revenue has developed as we anticipated. I believe this is a clear indication that all of the development and training activity we put into our new SMS is beginning to increase our sales efficiencies. This system will become one of the Company's major assets, and I believe it will prove to be extremely effective in allowing us to maintain our leadership role in all aspects of our product offerings."

"At this point, we are reiterating the guidance we provided in April, and continue to expect second quarter of 2016 revenue to be in the range of $55.7 million to $57.0 million," concluded Petit.
