FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Unity Wireless Reports Results for the Second Quarter 2005
Gross Margins Reach 29% for Second Quarter; Revenue up 30% for 6-Month Period
August 11, 2005 - BURNABY, BC Unity Wireless Corporation (OTCBB: UTYW), a developer of integrated wireless subsystems, power amplifiers and coverage enhancement solutions, reported today summary financial results for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2005.
Revenues for the second quarter of 2005 were $1,716,888 compared to $2,063,198 in the same period in 2004. The gross margin of $492,862, or 28.7%, for the second quarter of 2005 represented an increase in gross margin from $229,224, or 11.1%, for the second quarter of 2004. Loss for the second quarter of 2005 was $1,365,404 compared to $757,823 for the same period in 2004. Net of stock based compensation and other non-cash items of $749,950 and $197,461, respectively, loss for the second quarter of 2005 was $615,454 compared to $560,362 for the same period in 2004.
Revenues for the first six-months of 2005 were $3,684,458, up 30%, compared to $2,823,580 in the same period in 2004. The gross margin of $837,749, or 22.7% of net sales, for the first half of 2005 represented an increase from a gross margin of $496,264, or 17.6% of net sales, for the first half of 2004. Loss for the first six-months of 2005 was $2,543,579 compared to $1,420,725 for the same period in 2004. Net of stock based compensation and other non-cash items of $1,171,785 and $541,223, respectively, loss for the first six-months of 2005 was $1,371,794 compared to $879,502 for the same period in 2004. The major contributor to the increased loss was a 193% increase in research in development expenses, incurred mostly in the first quarter, as the Company accelerated new product development for time-sensitive customer opportunities. These expenditures raised research and development expenses above typical levels, and included costs to upgrade lab equipment and simulation tools, to increase outsourced contract engineering assignments and to purchase prototyping materials.
Ilan Kenig, President and CEO of Unity Wireless, stated, We have been focusing on initiatives to reduce our costs and improve efficiencies in our manufacturing and testing processes and are proud to report that these initiatives have significantly contributed to our third sequential, quarter-over-quarter improvement in gross margins. If we are as successful at driving top line revenue growth, continue to capitalize on current product opportunities, and are able to maintain current levels of operating expenses and gross margins we will ultimately be rewarded by improved bottom line performance and profitability.
