• Credit Agreement with Wells Fargo extended to June 2017, Term Note B eliminated and interest rates reduced by 150 basis points.

Commenting on the results, Daegis CEO Tim Bacci said, "We had a challenging quarter with our top line revenue as the strategic transformation of our business takes shape. That said, we're seeing increasing interest in our combined archive and eDiscovery offering as well as in our Composer migration, email migration and mobile application development products. The Company is operationally efficient as a result of the changes made over the past twelve months, and our debt refinancing will not only save us interest costs, but also gives us the extension we need to achieve our growth in cash flow. As the market continues to evolve it's encouraging to see growth potential across all of our major product lines in addition to increasing interest in our cloud based offerings. The net of all of this will be a more predictable revenue stream going forward."

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

Daegis utilizes financial measures not calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP") to supplement the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and provide investors with an alternative method for assessing our operating results. We also believe these Non-GAAP measures provide investors with a more informed baseline for modeling the Company's future financial performance. Management uses the Non-GAAP financial measures to make operational decisions, to evaluate the Company's performance and to forecast. We believe that our investors should have access to, and that we are obligated to provide, the same set of tools that we use in analyzing our results. The presentation of these Non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation from, as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, and may be different from Non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. In addition, these Non-GAAP measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with the Company's results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP.

Our Non-GAAP measures adjust GAAP income (loss) from operations and GAAP net income (loss) for non-cash stock based compensation expenses, amortization of intangible assets, depreciation and non-recurring charges. For more information on these Non-GAAP financial measures including how they are calculated, please see the tables in this release captioned "Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Net Income" and "Reconciliation of GAAP Operating Income to Adjusted EBITDA" which includes a reconciliation of the GAAP results to Non-GAAP and Adjusted EBITDA results.
