Second Quarter Financial Results
Revenue
Revenues for the three month period ended June 30, 2015 increased 82% to $13.6 million compared to $7.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014. This increase was due primarily to the acquisition of BCS in November 2014 and additional Quest organic sales activity sold in the second quarter of 2015. Second quarter net revenues of $13.6 million represented an increase of 27% over first quarter ending March 31, 2015.
Gross Margin
For the second quarter of 2015, gross profit margin was 24.6% of total revenues compared to 18.3% in the second quarter of 2014. The gross margin improvement was due primarily to the additional revenue generated from the BCS acquisition and the operational efficiencies achieved from the continued integration efforts of the combined companies.
Net Income (Loss)
Net GAAP accounting loss for the three month period ended June 30, 2015 was $285,449 compared to a net loss of $262,305 for the three months ended June 30, 2014.
Adjusted EBITDA
The company's operating expenses during both quarters ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 included non-cash expenses including depreciation, amortization of acquisition intangibles and stock-based compensation for employee and director stock options.

Revenue
Net Revenues for the six month period ended June 30, 2015 increased 42% to $24.2 million compared to $17.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014. This increase was due primarily to the acquisition of BCS in November 2014. The unaudited pro-forma revenue of Quest and BCS for 2014 would have been $19.7 million, so in comparing the two companies year over year, there was an approximate 23% increase (or $4.8 million) due to organic growth of both companies.
Gross Margin
For the first six months of 2015, gross profit margin was 23.6% of total revenues compared to 19.6% in the first six months of 2014. The gross margin improvement was due primarily to increased sales from the BCS acquisition in November 2014, continued integration efforts and operational efficiencies achieved during the quarter and year to date.

Net accounting loss for the six month period ended June 30, 2015 was $708,000 compared to a net loss of $16,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The decrease in net income is attributable to the increase in interest expense of $737,000, of which $400,000 is non-cash original issue discount classified as interest expense in accordance with GAAP.
Adjusted EBITDA
The company's operating expenses during both six month periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 included non-cash expenses including depreciation, amortization of acquisition intangibles and stock-based compensation for employee and director stock options.

to close in the third quarter of 2015. Viascan is expected to
contribute incremental revenue of $22 - $25 million and be accretive

The gross margin improvement was due primarily to increased sales from the BCS acquisition in November 2014, continued integration efforts and operational efficiencies achieved during the quarter and year to date.
Net Income (Loss)
Net accounting loss for the six month period ended June 30, 2015 was $708,000 compared to a net loss of $16,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The decrease in net income is attributable to the increase in interest expense of $737,000, of which $400,000 is non-cash original issue discount classified as interest expense in accordance with GAAP.
Adjusted EBITDA
The company's operating expenses during both six month periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 included non-cash expenses including depreciation, amortization of acquisition intangibles and stock-based compensation for employee and director stock options. Without the effect of these non-cash expenses, Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes and Depreciation and Amortization ("Adjusted EBITDA"
for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was approximately $1.1 million compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $26,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2014. Please refer to the financial tables included below for a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial results. Balance Sheet Summary
Net deferred revenue consists of prepaid third party hardware service agreements, software maintenance service contracts and the related costs and expenses recorded net of the revenue charged. As stated in the footnotes to the financials, the company had deferred revenue of $7.3 million and deferred costs of $6.5 million. This net deferred revenue of $805,000 at June 30, 2015 will be recognized in income over the term of the contracts, normally 1 - 5 years, with 3 years being the average term.
Backlog
The Company's backlog of signed, contracted orders at June 30, 2015 was approximately $4.6 million. The backlog reflects orders expected to be delivered during 3rd and 4th quarters of 2015..
2015 Outlook
The company reiterated full-year 2015 financial guidance.
-- Revenue of $62-$68 million, representing top-line growth between 5-15%
-- Gross margin as a percentage of sales for the full year 2015 to
continue to show slight improvement as the company exits the year
-- Management anticipating generating positive Adjusted EBITDA in the
third and fourth quarter as well, with improvement each quarter for
the remainder of the year
-- The above excludes impact from Viascan acquisition which is expected
to close in the third quarter of 2015. Viascan is expected to
contribute incremental revenue of $22 - $25 million and be accretive
to Adjusted EBITDA.
