01 Communique Provides Update on Business Developments and Third Quarter Fiscal 2024 Results

TORONTO, ON – September 19, 2024. 01 Communique Laboratory Inc. (the "Company") (TSX-V: ONE; OTC Pink: OONEF), one of the first-to-market, enterprise level cybersecurity providers for the postquantum computing era, is pleased to report the Company’s third quarter fiscal 2024 results, which ended July 31, 2024.

Andrew Cheung, CEO of the Company, commented, “On August 13, 2024, the National Institute of Science and Technology (“NIST”) announced 3 official Post-Quantum Cryptography (“PQC”) standards - the FIPS-203, FIPS-204, and FIPS-205. These 3 standards were anticipated by our cryptographers and, accordingly, they were incorporated into our existing IronCAP PQC cryptographic engine, which was launched in 2021. As a result, our customers have enjoyed 3 years of being ahead of these best practices in the PQC market. We understand that NIST expects to announce additional standards in the near future in light of the ever-increasing attention towards quantum-safety in many technological fields, including AI and cryptocurrencies.”

Andrew Cheung continued, “I am very happy to report that our business roadmap has been proceeding as planned. Most notably, we continued to march towards the break-even line, essentially reaching the goal on an adjusted non-cash basis. We have now set the stage to becoming profitable if and when revenue starts building from our partners and customers.”

Financial Highlights:

  • The loss for the quarter was $40,173 (2023 - $119,652). The adjusted loss excluding stock-based compensation and depreciation, which are non-cash expenses, was almost breakeven at $5,891 (2023 - $73,998) a reduction of $68,107. The Company completed the quarter with $125,716 of cash. Ongoing cash operating expenses have been significantly reduced. The goal is to continue to keep them in line with the level of ongoing recurring revenue.

  • Cash operating expenses which exclude stock-based compensation and depreciation for the quarter were $119,335 (2023 - $173,395) a reduction of $54,060.

  • Product development expenses were $34,538 (2023 - $73,995) a decrease of $39,457. A number of development projects were completed throughout fiscal 2023 allowing the Company to reduce development expenses. The Company makes use of third-party independent contractors for the majority of its product development allowing flexibility with respect to the level of product development expenses required.

  • SG&A expenses, net of stock-based compensation was $86,860 (2023 - $101,754) a decrease of $14,894.

  • Revenue for the quarter was $126,103 (2023 - $106,197) an increase of $19,906. The majority of the revenue is derived from licenses associated with ongoing recurring subscription fees.
