Unify Reports Fiscal Q3 Results

On Feb. 24, Unify reported its financial results for the third quarter of fiscal 2009. Total revenues were $5.2 million, compared to $5.8 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2008. Unify’s Q3 net income was $1.1 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, compared to net income of $1.1 million, or a $0.14 per share in the third quarter of last year. Its Non-GAAP net income for the quarter was $1.4 million, or $0.20 per diluted share, compared to non-GAAP net income of $1.4 million, or $0.18 per share in the same quarter of last year.

“Our results this quarter highlight the profit and cash flow potential of our business model,” said Todd Wille, chief executive officer of Unify. “ “We continue to see customers look for ways to maintain and upgrade their current applications instead of investing in new software packages or major application rewrites. For the third quarter we added 26 new software customers from all over the globe bringing total new customers to 81 for the first nine months of fiscal 2009.“

Nine-month or fiscal year-to-date total revenues were $16 million, compared to $14.8 million for the same period of fiscal 2008. Net income for the nine-month period was $2.2 million, or $0.29 per diluted share, compared to $1.6 million, or a $0.23 per share for the same period of fiscal 2008 and non-GAAP net income was $3.2 million, or $0.42 per diluted share for the nine months, compared to $2.5 million or $0.37 per share in the same period of fiscal 2008.

Additionally, Unify ended the third quarter with total cash and cash equivalents of $3.5 million, compared to $2.9 million at the end of the second quarter and achieved positive cash flow from operations of $1.2 million in the quarter.

“We continued to add new software customers during the quarter, bringing the total of new customers for the first nine months of our fiscal year up to 81,” Wille concluded.

CeBIT Review

CeBIT 2009 started strong and ended on a successful note, boosting optimism in the Information Technology industry. Opening remarks by German Chancellor Angela Merkel and California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, representing this year's Partner State, set a positive, encouraging tone to kick off the event. Schwarzenegger's optimistic and determined attitude strengthened the industry's resolve to capitalize on all the available opportunities. This spirit and momentum was tangibly felt by everyone at the show.

The majority of the 4,300 companies from 69 countries drew fresh confidence by attending CeBIT. The show lived up to expectations, with more than 400,000 visitors - a drop of just under 20 percent from the previous year's figure.

Ernst Raue, the Deutsche Messe Managing Board member in charge of CeBIT, on Sunday in Hannover:
"The organization of a trade fair with a truly global impact, involving the participation of 4,300 exhibitors and more than 400,000 attendees - particularly in times like these - is a real achievement for us and the industry as a whole, underlining the drawing power of CeBIT." We are once more seen as a dynamic event. Several companies who decided against having their own stand this year have expressed a clear interest in rejoining the event in 2010."

Team Developer End Users Can Change Reports

Are you interested in giving your Team Developer (TD) application users full report editing capabilities, including adding fields to a query and report, without changing your TD application? Give your TD application users more power and let them change and enhance the reports without changing the application.
The reporting functionality is accessed through the Report Builder (RB) ActiveX control. Using the RB ActiveX TD applications can open and print .cqt report files that include the query definition and the report layout in a combined file.
Using the RB ActiveX interface the application only needs to open the report file and issue a print command. Executing the query and report is handled by Report Builder. Advanced usage developers have full access to a .cqt file from TD and enhanced features such as adding fields to the report programmatically.
Here is an example of how you can call a .cqt file in TD:

First include the following libraries:

• Automation.apl
• Gupta ReportBuilder Automation Lib.apl
• ReportBuilder.apl

Then create a new form window based on class cReportBuilderWindow. This class allows you to initiate the Report Builder ActiveX control. Create a variable “MyReport” of the type ReportBuilder_IReportBuilder. Initiate the RB ActiveX by calling frmReport.GetReportObject( MyReport ). Then you can call the report methods OpenReportFile() and Print() to open and print a .cqt file.

Download the sample code . To make the sample code work, values for the printer variables (sDevice, sDriver, sPort) need to be provided in the code.

For the deployment of the Report Builder ActiveX, users need to have a license of Report Builder. Contact Unify Sales for a quote for Report Builder deployment: info@unify.com .
