TORONTO, Sept. 24, 2018 /CNW/ - 01 Communique Laboratory Inc. (TSXV: ONE) today announced results for its third quarter fiscal 2018, which ended July 31, 2018. The Company's loss for the quarter was $78,948 compared to a profit in 2017 of $68,383. A conference call is scheduled for Thursday September 27, 2018 at 4:00PM EDT.

"We are now implementing our previously announced plan to transition our focus and strategy to the development of Post-Quantum Blockchain ("PQBC") and Post-Quantum Cryptography ("PQ-Crypto") technologies," said Andrew Cheung, President and CEO for 01 Communique. "On September 18, 2018 we closed a financing and I now feel confident we have sufficient working capital to complete commercial development of our PQBC and PQ-Crypto technologies as well as develop strategic partnerships to assist us in our plan to grow our business." 

An update on the Company's progress as it moves forward with its new strategy follows:

• As at July 31, 2018 the Company had $73,992 of cash and cash equivalents on hand. Subsequent to the end of the quarter, on September 18, 2018, as previously announced the Company completed a private placement raising gross proceeds of $1,000,000, which will be used for completing commercial development of PQBC and PQ-Crypto technologies, to develop strategic partnerships, and for general working capital purposes.
  
  
• During the third quarter announced the addition of a new board member, Ms. Jane Yang, who brings with her a wealth of experience in the area of Blockchain technology.
  
  
• Engaged the services of Hybrid Financial Ltd. to assist the Company in developing and implementing an investor relations program.
  
  
• Added new members to the development team, entering into agreements with several leading experts in Blockchain technology to assist in the development of a Post-Quantum Blockchain for the Company.

An update on the Company's results follows:

Revenue for the third quarter 2018 was $45,439 (2017 - $247,269) a decrease of $201,830. 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. and contract engineering fees received for enhancements made to DoMobile for Japan. Ongoing royalties for the fourth quarter 2018 are expected to continue at the third quarter 2018 level.

Cash operating expenses, which exclude stock based compensation and depreciation, for the second quarter 2018 were $$89,284 (2017 - $129,699) a decrease of $40,415 primarily a result of contractor fees paid for product development in 2017 related to the enhancement of DoMobile.
