01 Communique Provides Update on Business Developments and First Quarter Fiscal 2022 Results

TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / March 17, 2022 / 01 Communique Laboratory Inc. (the "Company") (TSXV:ONE)(OTCQB:OONEF), one of the first-to-market, enterprise level cybersecurity providers for the quantum computing era, is pleased to report the Company's first quarter fiscal 2022 results, which ended January 31, 2022.

Andrew Cheung, CEO of 01 Communique, stated, "During the first quarter we increased our exposure internationally. As previously announced, we added a global technology partner headquartered in Paris, France which expands our exposure in Europe. We look forward to further development of our business in Europe. I am also very excited about the prospects for IronCAPâ„¢ in Asia/Pacific. These strong partnerships have essentially opened a global network of excellent opportunities. We completed the quarter with $881,246 of cash, which along with our existing and near term revenue opportunities, should be sufficient to allow us to continue our investment in development and commercialization of IronCAPâ„¢. When I look at the concerns expressed today around the world in respect of cybersecurity, I am encouraged about the potential market opportunity for our IronCAPâ„¢ technology. It is now primarily a matter of execution."

Highlights:

In November, 2021 the Company received a notice of allowance from the United States Patent and Trademark Office ("USPTO") for its Cryptographic System and Method. The patent has now been granted #11/271,715. This is further support for the innovative nature of the IronCAPâ„¢ technology which the Company believes is superior to anything on the market today. It is designed to protect customers against the ever-evolving illegitimate and malicious means of gaining access to their data.

The net loss for the first quarter 2022 was $207,641 (2021 - $112,734) an increase of $94,907. The adjusted net loss, which excludes noncash expenses, was $158,355 (2021 - $89,697) an increase of $68,658. The adjusted net loss excludes stock-based compensation and depreciation which are non-cash operating expenses.

Revenue for the first quarter 2022 was $189,031 (2021 - $213,262) a decrease of $24,231. The trend of working from home continues to be popular which has contributed to growth year over year in subscriber numbers and subsequent recurring royalties from the Company's Asia-Pacific business. One-time development and maintenance fees received for DoMobile enhancements were higher in 2021 over 2022 resulting in the overall decrease year over year in revenue. DoMobile is a secure remote access solution exclusively marketed by the Company's partner in Japan. The strong security underlying DoMobile allows for marketing not only to small to medium sized businesses, but also to government agencies, financial industries, health sectors, etc. which require a highly secure remote access environment. There are now more than 3,800 corporations using DoMobile as their telework solution with the numbers continuing to grow.

Cash operating expenses for first quarter 2022 were $327,765 (2021 - $282,476) an increase of $45,289. The Company expanded its product development team to complete product development initiatives aimed at increasing market share for its remote access service in Japan and near term opportunities to roll out new products built on its IronCAPâ„¢ technology.

01 Communique will host a live teleconference allowing for questions and answers later today at 10:00AM EST (March 17, 2022) to discuss the Company's results as well as providing an update on the business prospects for IronCAPâ„¢ and IronCAP Xâ„¢.
