AUSTIN, Texas, June 5, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Crossroads Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: CRDS), a global provider of data archive solutions, reported financial results for its fiscal second quarter ended April 30, 2014.
Revenue for fiscal Q2 2014 was $2.3 million, a decrease of 16 percent from $2.7 million in the same quarter a year ago. The decrease is primarily attributable to a decrease in the company's OEM SPHiNX business as well as revenue from an intellectual property licensee. Gross profit for fiscal Q2 2014 was $1.8 million, or 80 percent of total revenue, as compared to $1.9 million or 70 percent of total revenue in the same quarter a year ago.
Operating expenses for fiscal Q2 2014 totaled $3.6 million as compared to $5.8 million in the same period a year ago, a decrease of 37 percent, primarily due to the reduction in force in October 2013.
Net loss available to common stockholders for fiscal Q2 2014 totaled $(1.8) million or $(0.14) loss per share, compared to a net loss available to common stockholders of $(4.8) million or $(0.41) loss per share in the same quarter a year ago.
At April 30, 2014, cash and cash equivalents increased $2.7 million to $10.7 million from $8.0 million in the previous quarter. The Company completed a private placement of its common stock netting $4.3 million during the quarter and paid $865,000 toward its Fortress debt.
