( SCMM, Prime Standard: SMY), a leading provider of solutions for secure access, secure identity and secure exchange, today announced results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2009. In the second reporting period following SCM's merger with Hirsch Electronics Corporation, revenue more than doubled, reflecting the success of the Company's strategy to increase its revenue by expanding its customer base and market reach through acquisitions and market investment.
"We are very pleased with the momentum we are seeing from our merger with Hirsch. Customers around the globe are expressing their interest and enthusiasm, we have new opportunities in every region, and SCM is being recognized as the first company capable of delivering truly converged solutions for network and physical access applications," said Felix Marx, chief executive officer of SCM Microsystems.
