PRINCETON, N.J., Aug. 8 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Opinion Research
Corporation (NASDAQ:ORCI), today announced financial results for
the second quarter ended June 30, 2006. Revenues increased to $50
million and income from continuing operations was $777,000 or $0.14
per diluted common share. Revenues Consolidated revenues were $50
million in the second quarter of 2006, increasing from $49.0
million in the second quarter of 2005. Social research revenues
were $36.6 million, increasing from $36.2 million in the second
quarter of 2005. Market research revenues totaled $13.4 million,
increasing from $12.8 million in the second quarter of last year.
Income from Continuing Operations Income from continuing operations
was $777,000, as compared to $1.6 million in the second quarter of
2005. Contributing to the decline in income from continuing
operations is expense of $163,000 reflecting the adoption of the
Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement 123(R) on
share-based payments, interest expense of $700,000 on subordinated
debt issued in July 2005, and a higher effective tax rate which
reduced income from continuing operations by $124,000. Discontinued
Operations Discontinued operations produced a gain of $8,000 in the
second quarter of 2006 as compared to a loss of $245,000 in the
second quarter of last year. Income per Common Share Income from
continuing operations was $0.14 per diluted share in the second
quarter of 2006, as compared to $0.24 per diluted share in the
second quarter of 2005. The gain from discontinued operations was
$0.00 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2006 compared to a
loss from discontinued operations of $0.04 per diluted share in the
second quarter of last year. Net income per diluted share was $0.14
in the second quarter of 2006, as compared to $0.20 in the second
quarter of 2005. Six Months' Results Revenues for the first six
months were $97.3 million, increasing from $95.2 million for the
first six months of 2005. Income from continuing operations was
$1.5 million or $0.28 per diluted share for the first six months of
2006 as compared to $2.0 million or $0.30 per diluted share for the
comparable period in 2005. Loss from discontinued operations was
$138,000 or $0.03 per diluted share in the first six months of 2006
as compared to $495,000 or $0.08 per diluted share in the first six
months of 2005. Net income per diluted share was $0.25 for the six
months ended June 30, 2006, as compared to $0.22 in the comparable
period in 2005. Conference Call In view of the previously announced
acquisition agreement with infoUSA the conference call scheduled
