Through the first half of 2012, the company reported revenue of $312.7 million and a net loss of $6.2 million or $0.21 per share.

“Positive sales activity continued in the second quarter and performance in the aggregate as well as at the business unit level was in line with our restructuring plan,” said Joseph P. Morgan, Jr., president and chief executive officer. “Growth in our core solutions is steady, increasing 3.4 percent in the second quarter. Legacy sales continue to decline disproportionately as businesses discontinue the use of certain operational documents. Cost-saving initiatives associated with our restructuring plan are having a positive impact on operating income and we are optimizing our operations while delivering exceptional service to our customers. Our two business units, Healthcare and Business Solutions, are focused on adding new customers and fully implementing customer wins so they will begin contributing to revenue. We can reaffirm that we expect positive cash flow of at least $5 million for the year.”
