Amounts in this press release have been rounded. All percentages have been calculated using unrounded amounts.

Income before provision for income taxes in the first quarter of 2020 was $51,000 and reflected $200,000 of expenses in connection with the activation of our BCP and foreign exchange losses of $100,000 from revaluation of monetary assets and liabilities. The Company estimates that revenues in the quarter were unfavorably impacted by $260,000 of ongoing projects that were suspended as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic as the projects required in-facility production. The Company anticipates that these projects will resume once lockdowns are eased in locations in which these projects are performed.

Jack Abuhoff, Chairman and CEO, said, "Entering 2020, we were seeing strong marketplace traction for our new AI data preparation and AI-based data extraction capabilities. We signed nearly two times the amount of new business we signed in Q1 2019, and our pipeline was robust with significant numbers of new customer prospects that had AI strategies front and center.

"Despite the COVID-19 crisis, due to the implementation of our BCP we continue to sign new deals and bring on new customers consistent with our strategy to expand our addressable market through our AI capabilities, although we are doing so with a significant number of deals being deferred or delayed. We expect that as conditions normalize globally, new deal signings will regain momentum and deferrals and delays will decrease."
