Reduction in costs result in estimated annual savings of over U.S. $1.6 million
VANCOUVER, CANADA--(Marketwire - Jan. 22, 2009) - Versatile Systems Inc. (TSX VENTURE:VV)(AIM:VVS), today
announced that it has implemented a series of cost reductions in light of the current economic climate.
Versatile has reduced its workforce, focused research and development activities on core products, and
redeployed research and development staff to the professional services group. These measures will result in
estimated annual savings of approximately U.S. $1,670,000, which represents 12% of the Company's annualized
expenses. The Company will continue to monitor its costs in relation to its revenues and changes within the
economy.
"We believe we have adopted a balanced approach in continuing to align our cost structures in light of the
current economic environment," said John Hardy, Chairman and CEO of Versatile. "Nevertheless, we have also
maintained our ability to pursue growth opportunities, which will enable us to generate long term profitability
in a very challenging market environment."
During the second quarter the Company received several substantial orders for its core products and services,
from its existing customer base, including U.S. $1,066,567 from the University of Pittsburgh, U.S. $836,392
from Comcast and U.S. $717,048 from Tyco Electronics.
