Omtool, Ltd. (NASDAQ NASDAQ

: OMTL), a leading provider of document handling products and services, today reported results of operations for the third quarter of fiscal year 2006. Also announced today in a separate release, Omtool has signed a definitive agreement to acquire BlueChip Technologies Ltd., a privately held provider of electronic forms automation, document imaging and object archiving solutions to the healthcare market.

Total revenue for the quarter ended September 30, 2006 was approximately $3.6 million as compared with revenue of approximately $3.2 million for the third quarter of 2005, representing a $475,000, or 15%, increase. The increase in revenue was led primarily by a 43% increase in total AccuRoute revenue over that time period. Additionally, the company achieved sequential quarterly growth of 16% as its third quarter revenue of fiscal year 2006 was $572,000 higher than its second quarter of fiscal 2006 revenue of approximately $3.1 million.

Consistent with the company's strategic plan, operating expenses Operating expenses

 for the quarter ended September 30, 2006, were 39% higher than they were for the quarter ended September 30, 2005. The company's operating expenses for the quarter ended September 30, 2006, were approximately $3.5 million as compared to approximately $2.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2005. Net loss for the quarter ended September 30, 2006, was approximately $(1,083,000) or $(0.27) per basic and diluted share, as compared to a net loss of approximately $(343,000) or $(0.09) per share, on a basic and diluted basis for the same quarter of 2005.

For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2006 and September 30, 2005, total revenues were $10.0 million and $10.6 million, respectively, representing a 5% decrease due primarily to the continued decline in the company's fax-related software and hardware license revenue. However, total AccuRoute revenue increased by 25% during this same time period. The improvements in total AccuRoute product revenue realized in 2006 are primarily attributed to increased market acceptance of the AccuRoute product and the continued focus and expenditures on sales and marketing.

Total software license revenues increased by 18%, or $154,000, during the three months ended September 30, 2006 as compared to the same period in 2005. For the three-month period ended September 30, 2006, service and other revenue increased by $299,000, or 18%, when compared to the same period in 2005 and hardware revenue increased by $22,000 or 4%.

Total software license revenues decreased by 10%, or $343,000, during the first nine months of 2006 as compared to the same period in 2005 due to a decline in software license revenue for the company's legacy fax product. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2006, hardware revenue decreased by approximately 27%, or $573,000, when compared to the same period in 2005 due to the decrease in sales of the company's legacy fax product. At the same time, however, service and other revenue increased by 7%, or $365,000, as compared to the first nine months of 2005.

Robert L. Voelk, Omtool's chairman, president, and chief executive officer, is encouraged by the company's third quarter results and said, "Our AccuRoute product line remains our strategic focus as we continue to execute on our previously articulated ar·tic·u·la·ted

Further commenting on the company's progress, Voelk said, "The third quarter has traditionally been a challenging quarter for us, as we have historically experienced seasonally weaker results during these months. I am encouraged with the progress we are making on implementing our strategic plan. This quarter's incremental Additional or increased growth, bulk, quantity, number, or value; enlarged.

 increase in revenue over the previous quarter is one of the many indications that our increased sales and marketing investments are starting to bear fruit. Maximizing the revenue potential we see in AccuRoute and improving our financial results will require that we continue to build our indirect sales channels and expand AccuRoute sales into new vertical markets as planned for the remainder of the year and into 2007. While our success in entering new vertical markets will be critical to our ability to advance our business and grow top-line revenue, we believe that the following points indicate the current trends affecting our business:

1. the continued growth in AccuRoute software license revenue (now representing more than 50% of total software license revenue);

2. the continued increase in revenue quarter over quarter in 2006 (up 16% on the strength of AccuRoute from the second to the third quarter), notwithstanding the continued steady decline in new sales of our legacy fax software and hardware over that same period;

3. our recently announced relationships with partners such as HP and Xerox (as announced during the third quarter) which are a direct result of our significant investment in indirect sales (also referred to as channel sales)."

In support of that market expansion the company announced earlier today that it had entered into a definitive agreement to acquire BlueChip Technologies Ltd., which acquisition, once completed, will provide Omtool with extensions to its healthcare product line, domain expertise and expanded healthcare provider customer base.
