Commenting on the results, Mr. Roy Hess, Chief Executive Officer of MTS, said, "Our results in 2020 reflect the efficiency plan we implemented during 2019 in order to adjust our operating expenses attributable to the declining sales and to improve our operating margins.  Excluding the impact of the one-time non-cash impairment charges, our net loss for the quarter was $4,000 on a non-GAAP basis In June 2019, we introduced Omnis - Contact Center Software with "Out-Of-The-Box" capabilities and open channel architecture. We have begun to see initial revenues from this new product, whose introduction has been hampered by the constraints arising from the spread of COVID-19.
