Patrick White, DSS's CEO, stated: "Unfortunately, the positive 2nd quarter
results from four of our five operating divisions were overshadowed by the
continuing struggles in our non-core commercial printing unit, and expense
increases from a front loading of sales and marketing costs and costs associated
with our successful re-branding project we completed during the quarter. We are
excited about the solid financial performances of our core business divisions
(security licensing and printing, plastics, packaging and digital) achieved
during the quarter.
"It is important to note that Management is weighing certain options for the
non-core commercial printing component of our business.
"Furthermore, during the second quarter we formed our new Digital Division based
on our acquisition of Extradev, Inc. which joined DSS in the second quarter. This
new group adds an exciting new business line to our Company as it provides a
delivery system for our various digital security products. Our targeted sales and
marketing efforts, including the launch during the second quarter of our new
marketing identity, logo and website, has allowed DSS to make inroads with
potentially significant customers, as well as increased our recognition in the
industry. The opportunities that exist for our security products continue to be
immense, and we are confident that we are very well positioned to capitalize on
the opportunities."
