Omtool Reports Increased AccuRoute(R) Sales and Second Quarter Fiscal Year 2006 Results; Continued Investment in Sales, Marketing and Vertical Market Expansion of AccuRoute Document Routing Platform Expected to Show Positive Impact.

 $3.1 million compared with revenue of approximately $3.6 million for the second quarter of 2005, representing a 14% decrease. However, AccuRoute software license and service revenues for the second quarter of 2006 increased 22% as compared to same quarter last year and 15% for the six months ended June 30, 2006 as compared to the same six months in 2005. These improvements in AccuRoute-related software license revenue demonstrate the positive impact of increased focus and expenditures on sales and marketing.

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, total revenues were $6.4 million and $7.4 million, respectively, representing a 14% decrease. Total software license revenues decreased by 20%, or $498,000, during the first six months of 2006 as compared to the same period in 2005. Hardware revenue for the six-month period ended June 30, 2006 decreased by approximately 38%, or $595,000, when compared to the same period in 2005 and service and other revenue increased by 2% as compared to the first six months of 2005. The decrease in software license revenue is partly attributed to the decline in the company's fax-related software license revenue which decreased by $205,879, or 39%, for the three months ended June 30, 2006 compared to the same three months in 2005 and by $397,488 or 33% for the six months ended June 30, 2006 as compared to the same six months in 2005.

The company's decrease in its second quarter 2006 total revenue was due in part to an increase in orders for which it holds contracts but had to defer de·fer 1

 for revenue recognition. The balance of those orders, $573,000, was invoiced as of June 30, 2006. Of this amount, the company expects to be able to recognize approximately $199,000 in software license revenue and $122,000 in hardware revenue during the third quarter of 2006 and the remaining $252,000, which is primarily support and service revenue, over the next twelve months.

The adoption rate of AccuRoute within the legal vertical remains strong, with over 140 law firms This list of the world's largest law firms by revenue is taken from The Lawyer and The American Lawyer and is ordered by 2006 revenue:[1]

 that are AccuRoute licensees, 34 of which are in the top 100 U.S. law firms. The company also recently announced the addition of Christopher Degnan as vice president of legal sales. The company's expectation is that Mr. Degnan will help continue the legal vertical market expansion, while the direct sales team and partners have set their sites on the financial services The examples and perspective in this article or section may not represent a worldwide view of the subject.

 L. Voelk, Omtool's chairman, president, and chief executive officer, said, "Based on our success in the legal vertical and the industry accolades about AccuRoute, along with the fact that AccuRoute now represents more than 50% of our software license revenue, we believe the market for AccuRoute beyond the legal market is far greater in several additional vertical segments, particularly finance and healthcare."

Further commenting on the company's progress, Voelk said, "We believe there are many indications that our increased investments are starting to bear fruit. If the key business indicators continue on their current trajectories, these investments will increasingly have a positive impact on our financial results sometime during the next few quarters. We believe that:

2. the stabilization Stabilization

 out over the last four quarters after a 17% decline over the four prior quarters), and

3. the strong increase in U.S. bookings over the last four quarters (up 31% on the strength of AccuRoute), despite the steady and significant declines in new fax software and hardware over that same period,

all indicate that we are poised to take the next step to advance our business and grow our top-line revenue.

In addition to the growth attributed to our direct sales efforts, another specific area of steady growth has resulted from our significant investment in indirect sales (also referred to as channel sales). We have seen growth in indirect bookings over the last four quarters and continue to believe that indirect sales will ultimately become our primary distribution method."

Consistent with the company's strategic plan, expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 were 52% higher than they were for the quarter ended June 30, 2005. The company's operating expenses Operating expenses
