The Company recorded revenues of $948,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared with $1,317,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2019. Net loss from continuing operation, including one-time non-cash impairment charges of $617,000, amounted to $628,000 or $0.11 per diluted share for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared with a net loss from continuing operation of $76,000, or $0.02 per diluted share, for the comparable period in 2019. On a non-GAAP basis (as described and reconciled below), the Company incurred a net loss of $4,000 or $0.00 per diluted share, for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared with a net loss of $65,000, or $0.01 per diluted share, for the comparable period in 2019.

The Company recorded revenues of $2.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared with $2.6 million for the comparable period in 2019. Net loss from continuing operation, including one-time, non-cash impairment charges of $617,000 amounted to $660,000, or $0.12 per diluted share, for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared with a net loss from continuing operation of $206,000, or $0.04 per diluted share for the comparable period in 2019. On a non-GAAP basis (as described and reconciled below), the Company posted a net loss of $29,000, or $0.01 per diluted share for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared with a net loss of $183,000, or $0.03 per diluted share for the comparable period in 2019.

During 2018 an institutional investor invested, $1.5 million in a newly-created class of convertible preferred shares and $0.2 million in ordinary shares of the Company. During 2020 and 2019, the institutional investor partially exercised its greenshoe option and purchased additional $1.5 million of the convertible preferred shares, which are convertible into ordinary shares on a one for one basis.

Commenting on the results, Mr. Roy Hess, Chief Executive Officer of MTS, said, "Our results in 2020 reflect the efficiency plan we implemented during 2019 in order to adjust our operating expenses attributable to the declining sales and to improve our operating margins.  Excluding the impact of the one-time non-cash impairment charges, our net loss for the quarter was $4,000 on a non-GAAP basis In June 2019, we introduced Omnis - Contact Center Software with "Out-Of-The-Box" capabilities and open channel architecture. We have begun to see initial revenues from this new product, whose introduction has been hampered by the constraints arising from the spread of COVID-19. As previously reported, we are also continuing our efforts to find a suitable M&A candidate for our company which will enhance shareholder value."
