"Being up year-over-year for the third quarter in revenue and earnings from on-going CoreCard operations translated into the same results for Intelligent Systems and is welcome from both a management and shareholder perspective," said Leland Strange, chief executive officer of Intelligent Systems. "I can imagine some shareholders feel like I do ��" 'it's about time'! We feel good about the rest of the year while cautioning that we will continue to add resources and infrastructure to take advantage of the unique combination of technology, people and capabilities that CoreCard offers in the FinTech arena. We will still see some variations on a quarter-to-quarter basis as revenue recognition is somewhat dependent on when some of our larger customers determine to 'pull the trigger' and go live."
