For the third quarter ended September 30, 2008, PAR Technology Corporation reported revenues of $58 million compared to $51.6 million in the third quarter 2007, an increase of 12.4%. Net income of $828,000 was reported for the period compared to a net loss of $862,000 in the third quarter last year. The Company reported diluted earnings per share of $0.06 for this past quarter, compared to the diluted loss per share of $0.06 reported for the same period a year earlier. For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, PAR Technology Corporation reported revenues of $167.3 million, a 12.1% increase when compared to the $149.3 million reported one year ago. The Company also reported net income of $757,000 in the first nine months of 2008 versus a net loss of $3.2 million for the first nine months of 2007. Diluted earnings per share for the first nine months of 2008 was reported at $0.05, compared to diluted loss per share of $0.22 reported for the same period in 2007. "Overall, our businesses performed well in the third quarter as we navigated through uncertain economic environments. Revenues were driven by strong sales to our global quick serve restaurant accounts as well as to our hotel and spa customers. Our government revenues were up year over year due to new wins in the IT outsourcing sector," said John W. Sammon, Chairman and CEO of PAR Technology. "Our performance during difficult economic circumstances reflects the relevance of the business lines we have chosen to be in and the geographic priorities we have set. We will continue to monitor economic conditions for the foreseeable future but will not alter our concentration on PAR's longer-term growth initiatives of expanding our global reach, increasing revenue growth in the channel space and creating innovative software and technology products."
