“While we grew our customer base during the quarter and saw repeat customers, we had lower than normal average order sizes reflecting the slowdown in spending on communications technologies,” stated Donovan Jones, President and CEO, CounterPath. “We are excited about our strong product portfolio and plan to use funds from our recently closed private placement to add sales and marketing resources to grow our business. In particular, we expect to leverage our OEM partnerships as well as build new channels to deploy our solutions. In addition, we expect to see continued growth in online sales of our softphone products as users of our free softphone convert to our feature rich paid for versions,” continued Jones.
