OTTAWA, May 21 /CNW/ - TrueContext Mobile Solutions Corporation (TSXV:TMN) ("TrueContext" or "the Company"), a mobile data solutions company today announced results for its three months ended March 31, 2010. All amounts are stated in Canadian dollars unless otherwise noted.

Operating Results for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2010

The following is a summary of the operating results for TrueContext for the three months ended March 31, 2010.

Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was $178,437 compared to $103,516 for the same period in 2009 and $186,834 for the fourth quarter of 2009. First quarter 2010 license revenue of $111,500 consisted of $85,100 subscription revenue plus $26,400 of perpetual license revenue. The first quarter subscription revenue of $85,100 decreased slightly from $88,000 in the fourth quarter of 2009; however, the average number of subscribers increased from 1,925 in the fourth quarter to 1,967 in the first quarter.

"We recently completed our private placement to fund our operations and specifically fuel our expansion with operators. Our relationship has grown with AT&T Services Inc. since we announced our resale agreement on March 3, 2010. We have been working with the AT&T sales and technical teams to drive demand and we have recently been involved in many regional launches and blitzes which have already led to customer activations," said Alvaro Pombo, Chief Executive Officer. "Earlier in 2010, we began to concentrate on operator sales channels as AT&T and other opportunities have become more tangible. Our revenue from direct subscriptions and perpetual licenses decreased in our 2010 first quarter as we shifted focus but we have made significant progress in building new operator channels in North America and Europe. We continue to focus on growing subscriptions by using our leverage with partners like AT&T."

The decrease in subscription revenue primarily relates to the cancellation of subscriptions in legacy programs with higher subscription rates. The average number of subscribers per month increased only slightly as we shifted focus from direct sales to concentrate on building our operator channels. First quarter revenue also included approximately $66,900 of services revenue which increased from fourth quarter services revenue of $50,690.

The Company had a net loss of $423,050 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to a net loss of $1,107,714 for the same period in 2009. Loss from operations for the three months ended March 31, 2010 decreased to $419,984 compared to $494,773 for the three months ended March 31, 2009. In 2009, we re-focused the Company to concentrate on Software as a service (SaaS) and implemented cost cutting measures to decrease our operating expenses. The reduction in net loss was also affected by the elimination of the foreign exchange loss on US denominated preferred shares. The preferred shares were converted into common shares in the second quarter of 2009, so results are no longer impacted by foreign exchange gains and losses or interest expense on redeemable preferred shares.

As at March 31, 2010, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $225,508 and a working capital deficit of $347,326. On May 3, 2010, the Company completed a non-brokered private placement resulting in gross proceeds of $750,000. The private placement involved the sale of units at $0.20 per unit. Each unit consisted of one common share and one half of one common share purchase warrant. Each whole common share purchase warrant entitles the holder thereof to acquire one common share of TrueContext at an additional purchase price of $0.40 per share at any time up to two years from the closing date. We believe that our cash on hand, including the private placement proceeds, is sufficient to fund our operations through the fourth quarter of 2010.
