NASHUA, N.H., April 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- iCAD(R), Inc.
(NASDAQ: ICAD), an industry-leading provider of Computer-Aided
Detection (CAD) solutions for the early identification of cancer,
today reported its financial results for the first quarter ended
March 31, 2006. iCAD sales for the quarter ended March 31, 2006
were $4,373,650 compared with $6,007,607 in the first quarter of
2005. Gross margin remained constant at 79% of sales in the first
quarter 2006 and prior-year first quarter. Net loss for the first
quarter of 2006 totaled ($1,605,894) or ($0.04) per share, compared
with net income of $641,929 or $0.02 per share, in the prior-year
quarter. "Sales in iCAD's first quarter of 2006," indicated W.
Scott Parr, President and CEO, "were significantly and adversely
affected by discussions underway at the time regarding a potential
merger with our principal competitor. The possibility of such a
merger required that the Company defer hiring to fill key sales and
marketing management positions, and caused a significant
distraction to our field sales force". Parr continued, "Since the
February decision by iCAD's Board to terminate such merger
discussions, we have made substantial progress in correcting these
problems." "First quarter expenses," Parr explained, "were
increased by continuing costs of the Company's patent infringement
arbitration with its principal competitor, as well as professional
and other expenses associated with merger discussions. With the
conclusion of our successful defense against infringement claims,
and a renewed commitment to succeeding independently in our
markets, these unplanned expenses are behind us." On April 24,
2006, iCAD announced that Kenneth W. Ferry would join the Company
on May 15, 2006, as President and CEO. W. Scott Parr will leave the
President and CEO positions at that time, and become iCAD's
non-executive Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors. Conference
