ONE 01 Communique Laboratory Inc

TORONTO, June 11, 2019 /CNW/ - 01 Communique Laboratory Inc. (the "Company") (ONE:TSX-V) today reported results for its second quarter of fiscal 2019, ended April 30, 2019. The loss for the quarter was $196,043 (2018 - $35,044) an increase of $160,999 a direct result of the investment the Company has made in developing its Post-Quantum Cryptography ("PQ-Crypto") technology and getting ready for the commercial launch of the first of many products incorporating this technology, IronCAP X, this coming September. The Company has completed the period with $462,026 of cash and cash equivalents and a guaranteed investment certificate.  

"We have come a long way over the past several months as we get ready for the commercial launch of IronCAP X in September," said Andrew Cheung, President and CEO for 01 Communique. "We filed a patent application in the United States relating to our cryptographic systems and methods in January. We added several new members to our development team with expertise in security. We demonstrated our new product at our shareholders' meeting in April. We completed a new web site, which will be up and running shorty. We initiated discussion with a number of key partners in the security space. We are in the midst of putting together a sales and marketing team. With all of this on the go and more to come we have enlisted a leading investment firm to complete a non-brokered private placement."

Highlights:

• Major milestones have already been achieved as the Company gets ready for commercial availability of IronCAP X, which include:
• • Filing a patent application in the United States for this unique new technology.
  • Moving forward with the memorandum of understanding signed with Hitachi Solutions Create, Ltd. to undertake a market feasibility study in Japan with respect to the Company's new technology.
  • Successful demonstration of IronCAP X in April at the Company's shareholders meeting.
  • Assembled the basis of a world class development team tasked with completion of IronCAP X for this September.
  • Added new members to the board of directors and its advisory committee with significant expertise in blockchain technology and security.
  • Developed an impressive product road map that encompasses a number of new products incorporating the Company's PQ-Crypto technology planned for development after the release of IronCAP X.

• Getting ready for the September launch:
• • The Company's new IronCAP web site (www.ironcap.ca) is planned to go live later this month. The redesigned web site offers quick and intuitive access to critical information regarding the IronCAP technology and family of products including IronCAP X and offers a significantly improved user experience.
  • The new web site provides IronCAP X beta users the ability to register for a trial of IronCAP X when it is available.
  • The Company is in advanced stages of discussion with an experienced sales and marketing person to lead the launch of IronCAP X.
  • Business development meetings are progressing with several leading technology firms with respect to licensing IronCAP Crypto (ICC) and IronCAP X.
  • The Company plans to launch its IronCAP API in July to allow potential integrators to beta test ICC integration with their products.

• Strengthening the balance sheet:
• • To effectively launch IronCAP X and bring on board experienced sales and marketing personnel, the Company has enlisted a leading investment firm to assist the Company with the completion of a non-brokered private placement. The terms of the financing will be determined in the context of the market for the Company's common shares.
  • The Company's Debenture contains an expiry acceleration clause which was amended to extend the expiration date of the associated warrants such that the exercise period of the warrants after the amendment is now September 10, 2019 (prior to the amendment it was June 12, 2019).

"With everything we have on the go as we head into the countdown for the commercial launch of IronCAP X we believe it is important for us to strengthen our balance sheet," said Andrew Cheung. "As such we are moving forward with the above referenced non-brokered private placement with expectations of raising up to $1,500,000 of working capital which we believe will be sufficient for us to attract the personnel we require and complete a successful launch. I am extremely excited about the prospect for the future of our Company."
