Martin Bouchard, President and CEO: "During the last few quarters, we focused our attention on reorganizing the Company in a way that ensures efficiency, firm control of our ongoing operating costs, while maintaining a competitive presence. The results of this current quarter demonstrate these efforts. To date, we have successfully expanded our sales and marketing team with the addition of two new US based Senior Vice Presidents responsible for software licensing. In addition, we launched a new, revolutionary product that allows users to search and access all their files, emails, music and videos stored on their PC from virtually anywhere using their mobile phone."
Shares of Mamma.com (MAMA) closed up 5.9% ahead of results on hopes that the losses would be better. Shares have given back all the gains and are now down over 7% from the closing price and down at $5.15 in after-hours trading. It doesn’t help that the company gave no further guidance for micro-cap stock traders to focus on.
