Cognitronics Reports First Quarter Results DANBURY, Conn., May 12 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Cognitronics(R) Corporation (AMEX:CGN) today reported a net loss of $.8 million, or $.13 per diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2005 compared to a net loss of $1.4 million, or $.24 per diluted share, a year ago. Sales for the first quarter were $2.7 million in 2005 and $2.3 million in 2004. The company said that domestic revenues increased $1.3 million in first quarter 2005 from the comparable 2004 period on increased sales to several customers, including $.7 million to a worldwide systems integrator, and higher service revenues, offset in part, by lower sales of $.8 million in the UK distributorship operations. "The telecommunications marketplace continues to make headlines in 2005 as two more of the largest telecommunications service providers announced their intentions to merge. In the absence of real growth, consolidation rules," said Brian J. Kelley, president and chief executive officer of Cognitronics. "After years of excess infrastructure build-out, these service providers, our customers, continue to maximize the capacity of their existing network infrastructure.

"During the remainder of 2005, the Company expects additional, substantive orders for CX Media Servers from customers, the timing of which are dependent on the customers' decisions as to when to introduce new services to its subscribers. "Cognitronics believes that we are properly positioned within the network requirements of our customers. Furthermore, we are committed to strengthening our R&D resources, so that we may be able to succeed in a very competitive telecom environment."
