ACE*COMM Corporation (NASDAQ:ACEC), a global provider of value-added services and advanced operations support systems (OSS) solutions, has reported financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2006, the first quarter of its 2007 fiscal year. The Company reported revenues of $3.0 million for the quarter, which compares to $6.7 million for the comparable quarter of fiscal year 2006. Net loss for the quarter was $2.7 million, or $0.16 per share, compared to a net profit of $99 thousand, or $0.01 per share, for same quarter of the prior year.

“Consistent with our preliminary review, first quarter results were clearly affected by some of our customers and prospects who delayed or postponed large projects,” said George T. Jimenez, CEO of ACE*COMM. “While we continue to see the relevant use and value of our traditional products within these customer groups, and anticipate that the second half of the fiscal year will show significant improvement over the first half, we are still faced with uncertainty into the timing of these larger transactions. This dependence on large orders has been one of the continuing challenges of our traditional business model – a situation that we believe will be mitigated as we reposition into the recurring revenue model of a value-added services approach.”

Added Mr. Jimenez: “We continue to make progress on our market penetration efforts around Parent Patrol™, the first of our Patrol suite of value-added services. Most significantly, we signed a contract with VeriSign that will make our Patrol suite available to VeriSign’s service provider customers in a managed services arrangement. With more that 250 mobile service provider customers and over 600 million accessible mobile subscribers1 globally, we believe that VeriSign has the infrastructure and sales organization to help drive the market penetration for these products more quickly.”

“During the quarter, we continued our market research efforts to substantiate the benefits of our Parent Patrol™ suite of value-added services,” concluded Mr. Jimenez. “We commissioned independent survey specialists, ITracks, to poll 1,000 U.S. parents on their attitudes on youth mobile issues. Seventy five percent of the parents polled felt service providers should offer parental controls options for wireless teens, and 59 percent indicated they would provide a cell phone to a child under the age of 12 if their cell phone provider offered easy-to-use parental control capabilities. We were also pleased to be identified as leaders in the parental controls space by third party research firm, iGR.”

The Company reiterated its guidance for the second quarter of fiscal 2007, announced on October 10, 2006, which called for revenue to be in the range of $4.0 million to $5.0 million.
