Michael Schrader, CEO, Top Image Systems, commented, "Following the successful acquisition of eGistics early in Q3, TIS management led by our newly appointed COO and CFO Lyron Bentovim has focused on consolidation of the two companies, not only by initiating integration of products and solutions and by developing a joint long-term strategy and product roadmap, but also by combining operational teams, office sites and procedures to maximize efficiency and reach economies of scale. The closer we have examined the business of eGistics, the more confident we are that the acquisition will prove to be synergistic and highly accretive and further expand TIS' business and value."

Mr. Schrader added, "As we discussed on last quarter's conference call, in Q3, TIS incurred significant one-time expenses related mostly to transaction expenses, PMI costs, and accrual policy changes as well as to the legal fees related to the settlement of litigation with Mitek. The company expects to return to a more normalized expense level and profitability in the fourth quarter and projects that revenues will range between $10.5 million and $11.5 million and expenses will range between $9.3 million to $9.7 million."
