  • (1888PressRelease) May 11, 2012 - For that reason the company has taken advantage of the securities regulatory relief permitting reporting issuers additional time to file their first interim financial statements prepared under IFRS.

    For the first quarter of 2012, the Company reported a net loss of $313,263 compared with first quarter 2011 net loss of $260,535, based on earned revenues. The increase in the 2012 net loss was primarily the result of sales, marketing and infrastructure investments made in the first quarter to support the Company's revitalized go-to-market strategy. Earned revenue in the reporting period was down 12%. This was expected as earned revenues are calculated from previous year billed revenues.

    "We are very pleased with the 30.3% year over year growth in billed revenue achieved in the first quarter; and we will see the continued benefit of this performance in the future as earned revenues are reported for these sales. Moreover, our key in-process metrics, such as sales activity and pipeline growth, are exceeding expectations," said Martin Galligan, President & CEO of Angoss. "We made significant investments in sales, marketing and our predictive analytics in the Cloud offerings during the first quarter. These investments are required to improve performance in 2012 and beyond. The loss in this period is attributable to these investments. We are confident that we enter the balance of the year having made shrewd investments to support our growth plans, and remain highly positive about the prospects for the balance of the year. We have a lot to be excited about, and the entire Angoss team is united in its singular focus to compete and win in the advanced analytics market. Our products and solutions have never been stronger—we are well positioned for success."
