Chiefly a textile producer in the 19th cent., Andover now makes toiletries, electronic and computer equipment, chemicals, medical instruments, rubber products, , Mass. -- Omtool, Ltd. (Nasdaq: OMTL), a leading provider of document handling products and services, today reported operating results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2006. Total revenue for the quarter was approximately $3.7 million equivalent to revenue of approximately $3.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2005. For the 12-month periods ended December 31, 2006, and December 31, 2005, total revenues were $13.8 million and $14.3 million, respectively, representing a 4% decrease due primarily to the continued decline in the company's fax-related software license and hardware revenue. However, total AccuRoute product revenue increased by 22% over this same time period. Software license revenue from Omtool's AccuRoute product accounted for 59% of the company's software license revenue for the year ended December 31, 2006, as compared to 50% for the same time period in the previous year. The increase in total AccuRoute product revenue realized in fiscal year 2006 is primarily attributable to increased acceptance of the AccuRoute product in the legal vertical market. Total software license revenue decreased by 11%, or $151,000, during the fourth quarter as compared to the same period in 2005, while total software license revenue decreased by 10%, or $494,000, during fiscal year 2006 as compared to the same period in 2005. Similarly, total hardware revenue decreased by 8%, or $46,000, during the three months ended December 31, 2006, as compared to the same period in 2005, and it decreased by 23%, or $619,000, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, as compared to the same period in 2005. These decreases are primarily due to a decline in sales of the company's legacy fax product. For the three-month period ended December 31, 2006, service and other revenue increased by $227,000, or 13%, when compared to the same period in 2005. Contributing to that increase was a $199,000, or 68%, increase in AccuRoute maintenance revenue in the same time period. For the 12 months ended December 31, 2006, service and other revenue increased by 9%, or $592,000, as compared to the 12 months ended December 31, 2005, on the strength of a $686,000, or 73%, increase in AccuRoute maintenance revenue.

Therefore, while we will continue to pursue these opportunities, primarily working with our large strategic and channel partners, we believe the best opportunities for replicating our continued success in the legal vertical market is in the healthcare vertical market. Similar to our views on the legal vertical market, and based on the high level of focus by healthcare providers on electronic medical records, we see a significant opportunity to present AccuRoute as the solution of choice to the challenge of how to capture paper documents that are endemic endemic /en·dem·ic/ (en-dem´ik) present or usually prevalent in a population at all times. en·dem·ic adj. 1. in healthcare systems. "We anticipate that the structure and buying patterns in the healthcare vertical market will present us with more near-term opportunities," Voelk continued. "Our acquisition of BlueChip Technologies in December 2006 signifies our commitment to expand in the healthcare vertical market. Between the greater than 100 customers we acquired through the acquisition of BlueChip Technologies and the more than 200 healthcare customers Omtool already has, we have a significant customer base to which we can market our combined product offering in 2007 and a solid base from which we can expand into new opportunities."
