NORCROSS, Ga., Nov. 14, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Intelligent Systems Corporation (NYSE MKT:INS) (www.intelsys.com) announced today its financial results for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2014.

For the three month period ended September 30, 2014, net income attributable to Intelligent Systems was $165,000 ($0.02 per basic and diluted share) compared to $585,000 ($0.07 per basic and diluted share) in the third quarter of 2013. Total revenue in the third quarter of 2014 was $3,787,000 compared to $4,574,000 recorded in the same quarter of 2013.

For the nine month period ended September 30, 2014, net loss attributable to Intelligent Systems was $287,000 ($0.03 loss per basic and diluted share) compared to net income attributable to Intelligent Systems of $1,141,000 ($0.13 per basic and diluted share) in the comparable period in 2013. Total revenue for the nine month period in 2014 was $11,151,000 compared to $12,826,000 in the first nine months of 2013. The results for the year-to-date period of 2014 include a legal settlement expense of $387,000, as previously disclosed in the first quarter of 2014. In addition, in the year-to-date period of 2014, the company recognized $125,000 in investment income, representing principally a gain on the sale of its minority equity investment in a privately held company.

J. Leland Strange, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "Comparisons with 2013 do not accurately reflect the current state of our business due to the impact of several factors disclosed in earlier periods. While there are no dramatic changes on a quarter by quarter basis in 2014, our operating companies are stable, with small but incremental revenue growth, an improving bottom line, and continued progress, albeit slower than I would like, on achieving our business goals at the ChemFree and CoreCard subsidiaries."

The Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2014 will be filed with the Securities Exchange Commission today and available at www.sec.gov or www.intelsys.com. Investors are encouraged to review the Form 10-Q and our 2013 Form 10-K for an understanding of the risks and uncertainties associated with our businesses.
