Business Outlook

In the first quarter of Fiscal 2014 and throughout the current fiscal year, CollabRx expects to build revenue primarily related to fee-for-services performed in connection with its agreement with Life Technologies, Inc. It also expects that initial recurring revenue based on providing its content to other laboratories on a Software as a Service ("SaaS") basis to begin in the latter half of Fiscal 2014.

CollabRx expects quarterly cash operating expenses to continue to be in the range of $750,000 to $1 million. The Company also continues to expect its operating expenses in near-term quarters to be materially offset in Fiscal 2014 by revenue both from agreements with its current partners and customers, as well as new agreements that it expects to sign during the year.

"We are pleased to report the achievement of our publicly announced goal of recording CollabRx's first significant revenue in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2013," said CollabRx Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Thomas Mika.  "We believe that the initiation of revenue, combined with the numerous partnerships we have begun announcing in recent weeks, marks the start of a growth phase that we expect will build substantially in Fiscal 2014.  The success of our initial launch shows that we are well on our way toward achieving another publicly announced objective: establishing a demonstrable trajectory toward technology, content and market leadership in the data analytics space in molecular medicine.  The marketplace's early acceptance of our interpretive content is enabling CollabRx to bring continually increasing value to the treatment of cancer.  The strength of our strategic relationships with recognized industry leaders, combined with our expanding pipeline of prospective new partnerships, provides the prospect of significant growth in Fiscal 2014."
