Management is executing to the strategy articulated in connection with becoming a public company. Business development activities are focused on meetings and product demonstration with potential clients and lead generation in the sports, healthcare and fitness and enterprise markets but haven’t yet translated into revenue for the Company. Sales and marketing expenses have increased to support these business development activities. While new contracts with customers have been signed, it is estimated based on past experience and implementation requirements, that there is an approximate lag-time of six months before the new contracts start to generate revenue.
Furthermore, as a result of the strengthening of the Canadian dollar with respect to the US$, revenue was negatively affected by approximately 11%. Deferred revenue during the quarter arose as a result of a license agreement which recognized as revenue in equal increments over a period of 12 months.
CASH POSITION
On the basis of current projections and the recent private financing completed, management believes the Company will have sufficient funds available to support its activities for the next twelve months.
