01 Communique Announces its Second Quarter Fiscal 2018 Results and Provides an Update on Future Direction

TORONTO, June 21, 2018 /CNW/ - 01 Communique Laboratory Inc. (ONE:TSX-V) today announced results for its second quarter fiscal 2018, which ended April 30, 2018. The Company's loss for the quarter was $35,044 compared to a profit in 2017 of $17,608. The adjusted loss for the second quarter, which excludes non-cash expenses for stock-based compensation and depreciation, was $29,601 compared to an adjusted profit in 2017 of $39,197. As at April 30, 2018 the Company had $142,199 of cash and cash equivalents. 

"We received a decision from the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit ("Federal Circuit") in respect of our appeal of our patent lawsuit against Citrix Online, LLC ("Citrix") affirming the district court's finding that Citrix does not infringe our patent (Patent Nos. 6,928,479)," said Andrew Cheung, President and CEO for 01 Communique. "We strongly disagree with the ruling.  However, after careful consideration, we decided that it is not in our favor to proceed any further on this matter. This brings this lawsuit to a conclusion and now we turn our attention to refocusing our company with the development of a Post-Quantum Blockchain. Additional information on our plan is outlined below."

An Update on Our Future Direction follows:

Today, we are announcing a plan to transition our focus and strategy to the development of a Post-Quantum Blockchain. In summary, our vision is to develop a Post-Quantum Blockchain, which can be implemented on classical computer systems as we know them today while at the same time powerful enough to safeguard against potential Quantum Computer attacks.

Blockchain is a decentralized, digitized, public ledger of all transactions, using what is known as Distributed Ledger Technology. In recent years Blockchain technology has garnered significant attention because it has successfully raised the bar for cyber security. This is due to the fact that corrupting or altering any piece of information on the Blockchain is virtually impossible as it would require vast amounts of computing power. The reason for this is that the blocks in the Blockchain are digitally signed with private keys and the signatures can only be validated using their corresponding public keys. Using the existing computer systems of today it is virtually impossible (would take longer than the life span of the average human) to get a private key from its corresponding public key.

However, there is a new breed of computer in development called Quantum Computers that threatens the security of Blockchain technology. A Quantum Computer can process information exponentially faster than "classical computers" rendering existing public key encryption unsecure. Since public key encryption is a corner stone of cyber security today, Quantum Computers have the ability to render virtually everything insecure including Blockchain. While not a household name as yet, Quantum Computers are not fiction. They are real. As a result, over the last year the Company has devoted a significant amount of time researching this new disruptive cyber security technology and based on this research we are proceeding with the development of a Post-Quantum Blockchain that we believe will be capable of protecting the network against Quantum Computer attacks.

An Update on the Company's Operations follows:

Revenue for the second quarter 2018 was $73,809 (2017 - $129,463) a decrease of $55,653. In 2017 there was a one-time payment received for past royalties received from third parties for the sale of DoMobile in Japan by Hitachi Solutions Create, Ltd. Ongoing royalties are still expected at the second quarter 2018 level.

Cash operating expenses, which exclude stock based compensation and depreciation, for the second quarter 2018 were $85,281 (2017 - $64,049) an increase of $21,232 primarily a result of contractor fees paid for product development.    

As previously announced, the Company received a decision from the Federal Circuit in respect of the Company's appeal of its patent lawsuit against Citrix. The Federal Circuit issued its Order affirming the district court's finding that defendants Citrix do not infringe the Company's patent (Patent Nos. 6,928,479) and denying the Company's request for a new trial. This brings the lawsuit to a conclusion.
