MONTREAL, April 27, 2012 /CNW Telbec/ - Alphinat Inc. (TSXV: NPA) announces its results for the fiscal quarter ended February 29, 2012.
During the quarter under review, Alphinat has focused its efforts on targeting private enterprise in order to diversify its client and Partner base. In the public sector, the French State Modernization Agency (DGME) has continued to expand their citizen-centric service deployment and have ordered additional licenses from Alphinat in order to do so.
Alphinat has also pursued Cloud computing validations with major players in the industry in the USA as well as in Europe. The company is progressing in discussions with global partners for strategic initiatives that could lead to global distribution and sales. As of the date of this report, SmartGuide in one of only 9 independent (from IBM) applications to be certified for both IBM's new PureFlex and PureApplications platforms that IBM launched on April 11, 2012.
Furthermore, Alphinat has made strong headway into partnerships for specific vertical markets with companies that have an established and captive client base. Management believe that these partnerships will reduce the SmartGuide sales cycle while multiplying points of contacts with potential clients.
For the quarter under review, the company recorded revenue and deferred revenue for a total amount of $471,208 (Revenue: $209,388 and Deferred revenue: $261,820).
For the 3-month period ended February 29, 2012, the Company recorded total revenue of $209,388 compared to $99,544 for the same period in 2011. This increase is due mainly to sales of new SmartGuide licenses as well as to increased revenue from maintenance and support resulting from the renewal of the SmartGuide annual license maintenance contract by the Direction Générale de Modernisation de l'État (DGME), the French government agency responsible for State reform, as well as by the government of Quebec.
Operating expenses decreased from $269,343 for the 3-month period ended February 28, 2011 to $255,175 for the 3-month period ended February 29, 2012. This variation is due mainly to the decrease in stock-based compensations.
The net loss for the 3-month period ended February 29, 2012 is $178,168 or $0.004 per outstanding common share compared to a net loss of $341,530 or $0.008 per outstanding common share for the corresponding period in 2011.
