VENTURA, Calif., Nov. 20 /PRNewswire/ --

Vsource Inc. (Nasdaq: VSRC), a market leader in providing customized Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) and Distribution Services into Asia-Pacific, today announced its financial results for the third quarter and nine months ended October 31, 2001.

Revenues for the third quarter and nine months totaled $2,400,600 and $3,548,600, respectively, compared to $151,500 and $214,000, respectively, for the same periods one year ago. Net loss before non cash interest charges relating to the beneficial conversion features of convertible securities and deemed dividends on preferred stock for the third quarter was $5,500,800 and for the nine months $12,926,700, compared to net losses before non cash interest charges of $5,827,200 and $18,537,700, respectively, for the same periods in the prior year. Net loss for the third quarter was $7,851,000 and for the nine months $19,467,600, compared to net losses of $5,838,200 and $18,537,700, respectively, for the same periods in the prior year. Net loss available to common shareholders was $7,851,000 for the third quarter and $21,563,000 for the nine months, compared to net losses available to common shareholders of $13,465,700 and $33,033,600, respectively, for the same periods one year ago. Net loss per common share was $0.37 for the third quarter and $1.09 for the nine months, compared to net losses per common share $0.78 and $2.02, respectively, for the same periods in the prior year.

A majority of the revenues recorded in the third quarter were derived from the company's resale of Gateway Inc.'s products in Hong Kong and Singapore. As announced in a separate press release, Gateway will cease future sales of its products in Asia-Pacific, effectively ending this agreement. However, Vsource recently announced that it has entered into a separate, three-year contract with Gateway appointing Vsource as the exclusive service and support provider for existing Gateway customers in Asia-Pacific, beginning on November 1, 2001. Revenues are expected to exceed more than $30 million over the life of the contract.

"The third quarter of Fiscal Year 2002 was a transformational one for our company," said Phil Kelly, chairman and chief executive officer of Vsource. "We made significant progress towards our goal of an increased client base of premier Fortune 500 and Global 500 companies. Additionally, we expanded upon existing relationships, as with our arrangement with Gateway, while simultaneously engaging in discussions with future clients; discussions expected to result in additional multi-year, multi-million dollar contracts for Vsource BPO Services in the Fourth Quarter."

Kelly added: "The Gateway contract combined with the prospects of new contracts are expected to have a material positive impact on our operating performance beginning in the Fourth Quarter of FY2001. Revenue in Q4 is forecast between $6 million to $8 million, representing a sequential quarterly revenue growth of 149.9 percent to 233.3 percent, compared to the company's performance in Q3. We expect operating income in the period to improve significantly as a result."
