INSCI Corp Announces Financial Results for First Quarter of Fiscal Year 1997

WESTBOROUGH, MA - AUGUST 14, 1996 - INSCI Corp (NASDAQ: INSI) today announced its results for the first quarter of fiscal year 1997.

INSCI Corp announced that it had achieved record sales of $2,936,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 1996, the first quarter of its 1997 fiscal year. Additionally, net income for the quarter was $95,000, a significant increase over the net loss of $1,655,000 reported in the same period last year. The quarter ended June 30, 1996, represents the fourth consecutive quarter that INSCI has achieved earnings before non-recurring charges and interest.

Revenues of $2,936,000 increased by $2,095,000, a 249% growth over the $841,000 reported in the first quarter last year. This growth was principally attributable to increased emphasis on sales to key accounts and larger customers, combined with a ramp up of the Company's consulting and systems integration activities. This quarter's revenues also included sales from INSCI's new Courtland Imaging Division, which was acquired in March, 1996.

Net income of $95,000 increased $1,750,000 from the net loss of $1,655,000 reported in the same period last year. Although there were planned increases in various expense categories, the earnings increase was primarily attributable to the record sales growth compared to the same period last year. Dr. E. Ted Prince, Chairman and CEO, said that one of the Company's primary goals for fiscal year 1997 is to continue its earnings momentum and, in that vein, it has achieved its first quarterly benchmark.

The first quarter included the announcement of new agreements with several new and existing customers including Siemens Nixdorf Printing Systems, Barclays Bank, MCI and Piper Jaffray. In addition, marketing alliances were established with several companies including Xerox and NEPS.
