01 Communique Reports Second Quarter Fiscal 2015 Results
TORONTO, June 4, 2015 /CNW/ - 01 Communique Laboratory Inc. (ONE:TSX-V) today announced results for its second quarter fiscal 2015, which ended April 30, 2015. The loss and comprehensive loss for the second quarter 2015 was $370,893 (2014 - $369,632). The adjusted loss, which excludes non-cash expenses for stock-based compensation and depreciation, for second quarter 2015 was $295,488 (2014 - $324,559). The Company completed the quarter with $923,720 of cash and cash equivalents.
"The first and foremost goal for us during this year is to get ready for trial for our patent lawsuit against Citrix," said Andrew Cheung, President and CEO for 01 Communique. "Our results reflect our emphasis on this aspect of our business. With respect to the case, on May 18, 2015 we received the inter partes re-examination certificate from the USPTO bringing that part to a successful conclusion. We are now waiting for the Court's claim construction finding after which we expect a scheduling conference to set a trial date. We look forward to our day in court."
An update on the Company's patent lawsuit against Citrix Systems Inc. ("Citrix") follows.
The Company is protecting its intellectual property against Citrix's GoToMyPC product offering. The Company is seeking damages based upon a reasonable royalty, back to August 2005 the date the patent was issued, for infringement, as well as pre and post judgment interest on awarded damages; treble damages for willful infringement, a permanent injunction and attorneys' fees. An overview of recent events and timelines to get to trial follows.
The inter partes re-examination. On October 16, 2014 the United States Court of Appeal for the Federal Circuit rendered their decision affirming the United States Patent and Trademark Office`s ("USPTO") Patent Trial and Appeals Board decision that the Company`s patent 6,928,479 (" '479 Patent") is valid and then issued their mandate to the USPTO to issue a re-examination certificate. On May 18, 2015 the USPTO issued that inter partes re-examination certificate.
The Claim Construction Hearing. A claim construction tutorial and hearing took place on November 12 and 13, 2014. We are now waiting for the Court's findings.
The timetable. Expert discovery was completed on February 27, 2015. Following the Court's findings on the November 13, 2014 Claim Construction Hearing we expect a scheduling conference will take place to set dates regarding filing and/or renewing dispositive motions, trial preparation and trial.
An update on financial results follows.
- Operating expenses for second quarter 2015 were $413,029 (2014 - $456,523). Excluding non-cash expenses for stock based compensation of $72,986 (2014 - $43,200) and depreciation of $1,529 (2014 - $1873), the cash operating expenses to fund the business for second quarter 2015 were $338,514 (2014 - $411,450), a decrease of $72,936. Much of this decrease is a result of a reduction in compensation related expenses.
- The loss and comprehensive loss for first quarter 2015 was $370,003 (2014 - $369,632). Excluding non-cash expenses for stock-based compensation and depreciation, the adjusted loss for the second quarter 2015 was $295,488 (2014 - $306,043).
- Revenue for the second quarter 2015 was $42,185 (2014 - $84,665). The majority of this decrease is a result of a reduction in contract engineering fees.
- There were no patent litigation and re-examination expenses incurred in the second quarter 2015 (2014 -$18,516). These expenses fluctuate with the level of activity in respect of patent litigation as well as the re-examination that had been requested by Citrix and, with the receipt of the re-examination certificate, it is now complete and no further costs are expected. With respect to the Citrix litigation, expenses have reached a cap and the Company's lawyers are now responsible for such expenses for which they are to be reimbursed out of proceeds of settlement or an award of damages, if any.
- Cash and cash equivalents were $923,720 as at April 30, 2015 compared to $851,466 as at January 31, 2015 an increase of $72,254 for the second quarter 2015. This increase is primarily a result of funding the adjusted loss of $295,488 and a decrease in non cash working capital of $31,548. A source of funds, which more than offset this use of funds, was provided by the completion of a $400,000 Debenture previously announced on April 24, 2015.
