For the third quarter ended September 30, 2009, PAR Technology Corporation reported revenues of $49.9 million compared to $58 million in the third quarter 2008, a decrease of 13.9%. A net loss of $778,000 was reported for the period compared to net income of $828,000 in the third quarter last year. The Company reported diluted loss per share of $0.05 for this past quarter, compared to the diluted earnings per share of $0.06 reported for the same period a year earlier. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, PAR Technology Corporation reported revenues of $164.8 million, a 1.5% decrease when compared to the $167.3 million reported one year ago. The Company also reported a net loss of $293,000 in the first nine months of 2009 versus net income of $757,000 for the first nine months of 2008. Diluted loss per share for the first nine months of 2009 was reported at $0.02, compared to diluted earnings per share of $0.05 reported for the same period in 2008. "Our third-quarter results reflect the effects of the recession and rising unemployment rates across the globe. While some economic indicators have shown improvement, the confidence level of the hospitality market continues to reflect the uncertainty of the current business environment. Simultaneously, certain customer accounts continue to have difficulty in obtaining access to capital," commented John W. Sammon, Chairman and CEO of PAR Technology. "While we are disappointed with our most recent quarterly results, we are never-the-less optimistic about our core business and future opportunities across all of our business segments. We are actively reducing costs which will not impair our ability to execute on our long term strategic plans. We are confident that our business will improve as credit eases and the industry confidence level improves. As we plan for 2010, we see a greatly improving pipeline of business which will restore both top line revenue along with earnings and we are committed to reducing expenses while investing in our future."
