Cash flow from operations totaled $480,000 for the six month period, most of which was retained, resulting in a cash increase of $461,000 for the period. "This was an important quarter for the Company as we made significant progress with the initiatives announced at our shareholder meeting in June," stated David Gallagher, President and CEO of QSound Labs. "As anticipated, the financial performance for this quarter was weak. However as planned, the combination of new revenue streams and our strong balance sheet will ensure an improved performance in the coming periods." "Specifically our microQ product suite for the mobile and handheld market has been well received and we will have designs wins in the near future. Royalty revenue from these design wins would start in FY2004. Also, we are now ready to ship our first VoIP products under the QTelNet brand and this will contribute financially during the third quarter and is expected to grow moving forward."
