  • Reduced expenses by 29.9 percent or $0.6 million compared to the same quarter last year and by 30.3 percent or $2.6 million on a year to date basis compared to the same period last year;

  • Gross revenues were higher by 35.3 percent compared to the same quarter last year and were lower by 44.5 percent on a year to date basis compared to the same period last year; which was largely due to the decline in revenues from Asia Pacific, and EMEA & SA where the orders have been pushed into later quarters and slower purchasing decisions in other regions; and

Net loss for the fourth quarter of 2010 was $641,231 or $0.00 per basic and diluted loss per share compared to a net loss of $1,488,854 or $0.02 per basic and diluted loss per share for the same quarter last year.  Net loss for fiscal 2010 was $4,186,351 or $0.04 per basic and diluted loss per share compared to a net loss of $5,970,502 or $0.07 per basic and diluted loss per share for the same period last year.

Commenting on fourth quarter and year end 2010 results, Swapan Kakumanu, IDC President and Chief Executive Officer stated, "Our fourth quarter financial results were the strongest quarterly results for 2010; increase in revenues and gross margins and reduction in expenses.  We also exited the quarter with $0.7 million of backlog into 2011. We are seeing signs of increased purchasing activities and expect to see some of these turning into revenues for IDC in 2011.  We are expecting that the Asia Pacific region will remain active during 2011 and we are ensuring we position ourselves to deliver the product and services required by this region."

Kakumanu continued, "The proceeds from the recently completed non-brokered private placement have provided the necessary cash to support the Company's initiative to promote IDC technology globally.  In addition, as a part of the previously announced product portfolio expansion initiative IDC has sold DR flat panel technology in selected geographic markets during the first quarter of 2011 which is expected to add to revenue growth in the near term.  We are optimistic about the potential for IDC in the coming quarters."

A conference call to review the results will take place on Friday March 25, 2011 at 10:00 a.m. EST (8:00 a.m. MST).  To participate in the call please dial 647-427-7450 or 888-231-8191 approximately 5 minutes prior to the conference call.
