Aware, Inc. Reports 2006 Second Quarter Financial Results

    BEDFORD, Mass., Aug. 3 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Aware, Inc. (Nasdaq:
AWRE), a worldwide leader and innovator of broadband intellectual property,
today reported financial results for its second quarter ended June 30,
2006.
    Revenues for the second quarter of 2006 increased 79% to $4.8 million,
from $2.7 million in the same quarter last year. For the six months ended
June 30, 2006, revenues increased 58% to $10.9 million, compared to $6.9
million in the same period a year ago.
    The Company reports its net income and basic and diluted net income per
share in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles
(GAAP), and additionally, on a non-GAAP basis. Non-GAAP net income, where
applicable, excludes the effect of stock-based compensation expense. The
company uses the non-GAAP information internally to evaluate its operating
performance and believes these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors as
they provide additional insight into the underlying operating results.
However, non-GAAP measures are not stated in accordance with, should not be
considered in isolation from, and are not a substitute for, GAAP measures.
A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results has been provided in the
attached financial tables.
    GAAP net loss for the second quarter of 2006 was $1.2 million, or $0.05
per share, which included $0.7 million of stock-based compensation charges,
as this was the Company's second quarter subject to the provisions of FAS
123(R). This compared to a GAAP net loss of $1.5 million, or $0.07 per
share, for the same period a year ago. GAAP net loss for the six months
ended June 30, 2006 was $0.7 million or $0.03 per share, compared to a net
loss of $1.8 million, or $0.08 per share, for the same period a year ago.
GAAP results prior to 2006 do not include a charge for stock-based
compensation.
    Non-GAAP net loss for the second quarter of 2006, excluding the effect
of stock-based compensation, was $0.5 million, or $0.02 per share. For the
six months ended June 30, 2006, the company had a non-GAAP net income,
excluding the effect of stock-based compensation, of $0.6 million, or $0.02
per share.
    Michael Tzannes, Chief Executive Officer, said: "Our DSL licensing
revenues and biometrics software revenues are on track for solid growth
this year. In DSL, this growth is coming from the transition to higher
speed ADSL2+ and VDSL2 networks, which is well underway around the world.
IPTV and triple-play services have emerged as important DSL industry
drivers. In biometrics, we are benefiting from our broad-based exposure to
the use of AFIS and related client systems and to new biometric
opportunities in border control and secure credential applications. Our DSL
test and diagnostics products are well poised to capitalize on the
transition to higher speed technologies for the delivery of new services.
Our technology and products have positioned us for growth in the
ADSL2+/VDSL2 and biometrics markets and we are confident that we will grow
revenues going forward."
