Revenue for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008 was $3.0 million, a 5% increase compared to $2.8 million for the same period in the previous year. Net loss for the quarter was $2.5 million, or $(0.09) per share, compared to a net loss of $4.9 million, or $(0.17) per share, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007. Non-GAAP net loss for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008 was $2.4 million, or $(0.08) per diluted share, compared to non-GAAP net loss of $2.5 million, or $(0.09) per diluted share, for the same period of the prior year. Non-GAAP results exclude restructuring charges, patent litigation settlement expense, and stock option investigation expense of $168,000 for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008 and $2.4 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007.

For the full year fiscal 2008, Selectica reported revenue of $16.0 million, a 9% increase compared to $14.7 million for the full year fiscal 2007. Net loss for the full year fiscal 2008 was $23.9 million, or $(0.84), compared to a net loss of $20.9 million, or $(0.70) for the full year fiscal 2007.

"Our fourth quarter results did not meet our expectations," said Robert Jurkowski, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Selectica. "We had transitions in the leadership within both of our business units and were unable to recognize revenue from a significant contract. However, we did form a landmark alliance with one of the largest global management consulting and technology services companies to jointly take our products to targeted global companies in the life sciences industry. Last quarter we signed a significant contract with one of the world's leading pharmaceutical companies and the revenue will be recognized over the next several quarters."

"We have refocused both our contract management and sales configuration business units, significantly reduced our operating expenses and are developing relationships with key partners to extend our market presence," continued Jurkowski. "Together with our market leading products and excellent customer base, I believe Selectica is in an excellent position to increase value for its customers and build value for its shareholders."
