OTTAWA, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 11/29/12 -- TrueContext Mobile Solutions Corporation (TSX VENTURE:TMN) ("TrueContext" or "the Company"), a mobile data solutions company today announced results for its three and nine months ended September 30, 2012. All amounts are stated in Canadian dollars unless otherwise noted.
Operating Results for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2012
Total revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2012 of $631,311 represented an increase of 49.0% over total revenue for the third quarter of 2011 of $423,593.
-- Third quarter 2012 subscription license revenue grew by 80.7% to
$494,889 from $273,938 in the third quarter of 2011, while third quarter
2012 operator channel subscription revenue grew to $285,969 from
$141,606 in the third quarter of 2011 representing growth of 101.9%.
-- Third quarter 2012 services revenue decreased by 8.8% to $136,422 from
$149,655 in the third quarter of 2011.
-- Third quarter 2012 net loss was $452,184 compared to a third quarter
2011 net loss of $747,157, representing an improvement of approximately
40%, and a second quarter 2012 net loss of $564,897. National Research
Council Canada Industrial Research Assistance Program ("NRC-IRAP")
funding and increased refundable investment tax credits on eligible
research and development expenditures contributed to the reduction in
net loss in the 2012 third quarter. This represents the third straight
quarter of net loss reduction as revenues increased.
-- As at September 30, 2012, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of
$500,587 and net working capital of $141,698 and recently announced
entering into a commitment letter with BDC Capital Inc. for a term
credit facility for up to $1 million.
"In 2012 so far, we have steadily grown our subscriber base, particularly with subscribers added through our operator partners, providing us with strong revenue growth and enabling us to steadily reduce our net loss. Our third quarter 2012 operator channel subscription revenue grew by over 100% over last year and we recently added Rogers Communications and Bell in Canada to our operator channel network. We continue on our path to balance strong subscriber and revenue growth while steadily progressing towards profitability," said Alvaro Pombo, Chief Executive Officer, TrueContext.
Mr. Pombo added: "ProntoForms is a strategic subscriber service for operators that helps improve sales of related voice and data plans, smartphones and reduce customer churn.

Actual results might differ materially from results suggested in any forward-looking statements. The Company assumes no obligation to update the forward-looking statements, or to update the reasons why actual results could differ from those reflected in the forward looking-statements unless and until required by securities laws applicable to the Company. Neither the TSXV nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in the policies of the TSXV) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.

By Jeremy Geelan IT has more opportunities than ever before with the growth in users, devices, data and secure cloud services. This creates not only a more enriching experience for users, but more opportunities for businesses. The key to capitalizing on these opportunities is to have the right tools in place to help scale operations.

By Elizabeth White One of the cloud’s biggest draws is the capability to virtualize computing resources, allowing it to be consumed with the click of a mouse. But behind that simple click is an enormous infrastructure challenge that has recently been cited as a major cause for slower enterprise adoption. Enterprises can better prepare for this shift and take full advantage of future computing benefits. Between architecture design and migration planning, the road can be long, so what do you do with your talent?

By Pat Romanski In the old world of IT, if you didn't have hardware capacity or the budget to buy more, your project was dead in the water. Budget constraints can leave some of the best, most creative and most ingenious innovations on the cutting room floor. It’s a true dilemma for developers and innovators – why spend the time creating, when a project could be abandoned in a blink? That was the old world. In the new world of IT, developers rule. They have access to resources they can spin up instantly.

The inexpensive storage that cloud services can offer make a great environment to pull together siloed data.”
