"This is the second consecutive quarter that we have posted a profit – a significant achievement, especially given the current economic uncertainty," said John Blaine, chief financial officer at Corel Corporation. "We continue to improve Corel's financial position by managing our daily operations for long-term, sustainable growth, rather than short-term gains. Our ability to achieve these early profits is a testament to how much more efficiently we are running the business." "We are very pleased with our second-quarter results," said Derek Burney, president and CEO of Corel Corporation. "We've increased our total revenues and net profit over the previous quarter and we intend to continue that upward trend over the next several quarters. Today's results confirm that we are ahead of schedule in executing our new corporate growth strategy. Over the short-term, we are moving rapidly to increase revenues by becoming truly a ‘customer-centric' organization, in which our guiding philosophy is to anticipate our customers' needs. With that in mind, we have exciting plans in the works for the upcoming quarters, including the launch of a full complement of creative products optimized for Mac OS X."
