Patrick White, DSS’s CEO, stated: “ Unfortunately, the positive 2nd quarter results from four of our five operating divisions were overshadowed by the continuing struggles in our non-core commercial printing unit, and expense increases from a front loading of sales and marketing costs and costs associated with our successful re-branding project we completed during the quarter..  We are excited about the solid financial performances of our core business divisions, (security licensing and printing, plastics, packaging and digital) achieved during the quarter.
It is important to note that Management is weighing certain options for the non-core commercial printing component of our business.

Furthermore, during the second quarter we formed our new Digital Division based on our acquisition of ExtraDev, Inc. which joined DSS in the second quarter.   This new group adds an exciting new business line to our Company as it provides a delivery system for our various digital security products.  Our targeted sales and marketing efforts, including the launch during the second quarter of our new marketing identity, logo and website, has allowed DSS to make inroads with potentially significant customers, as well as increased our recognition in the industry.  The opportunities that exist for our security products continue to be immense, and we are confident that we are very well positioned to capitalize on the opportunities.”
