Gross margin was 73%, compared to 89% for the fourth quarter of last year. Fourth quarter income from operations was $731,000, compared to income from operations of $139,000 for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009.

Unify ended the fourth quarter with cash and cash equivalents of $3.1 million at April 30, 2010, compared to $6.1 million reported at April 30, 2009.

The Company’s account receivables increased to $6.2 million, compared to $4.5 million as of April 30, 2009. Deferred revenue increased to $9.7 million, compared to $5.6 million as of April 30, 2009. The increase in account receivables and deferred revenue is primarily due to the AXS-One acquisition.

Business Discussion

“We achieved solid revenue growth and non-GAAP net income in fiscal 2010 as a result of our continued business momentum and execution on our acquisition strategy,” said Todd Wille, chief executive officer of Unify. “After significantly resurrecting the archiving business in the last couple of quarters, we were pleased to generate $1.8 million in cash flow from operations for the fourth quarter, more in line with our historical profitability and cash flow generation capabilities. We added 29 new tools and database customers during the quarter, and 106 for the fiscal year. Maintenance renewals remained consistent and we continue to see 50% contribution margins from this business.

“We saw significant fourth quarter and fiscal 2010 revenue growth in our migration solutions business, primarily as a result of our government modernization practice. We ended the year with a backlog of $400,000 and expect to see continued momentum for our modernization business in fiscal 2011.

“In the 10 months we owned the archive business, we closed six new accounts, grew the sales pipeline 6X, and successfully restructured the business model such that quarterly maintenance and professional services revenues were more than the quarterly expenses. We continue to be very excited and optimistic about our growth prospects and with our recent merger with Daegis, we believe we will be able to deliver industry-first solutions that combine our market leading information archive with Daegis’ eDiscovery solutions to bring organizations increased flexibility, scalability and predictability across the entire litigation lifecycle. Looking forward, we are extremely excited about fiscal 2011 and the opportunities for significant growth,” concluded Wille.

In consideration of its recent merger with Daegis, Unify is providing the following combined company guidance for its fiscal year 2011, which will end April 30, 2011.
