MONTREAL, April 16, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Alphinat Inc. (TSX VENTURE:NPA) announces a loss of $12,587 for the quarter ended February 28, 2018

During the quarter under review, Alphinat has focused its efforts on nurturing and expanding its distribution channels and on diversifying its offering.

In order to accelerate future growth, Alphinat has continued to invest in packaging SmartGuide along two major areas of focus:

  1. SmartGuide Portal Edition for Dynamics 365 will optimize the way that clients create and deploy online services on top of Microsoft Dynamics 365. This offering will be available in SaaS mode as well as on premises;
     
  2. SmartGuide Municipal Cloud aims at offering unparalleled productivity to municipalities. Municipalities will be able to choose from a catalogue of pre-built applications, further accelerating the speed at which they can deploy citizen-centric services. These services include service requests, permitting and licensing as well as numerous other citizen-facing services and internal applications.

During the quarter under review, the Company sold new SmartGuide licenses to the Ministry of Finance of an African country and to a ministry of the government of France. Alphinat also sold a SmartGuide license to a commission of the City of Montreal as well as a SmartGuide license in SaaS mode to a city in the Silicon Valley region in California. Furthermore, Alphinat has been mandated for professional services for a partner, for municipal clients and for an agency of the Federal Government of Canada.

The company has pursued its commercialization efforts with various agencies of the Canadian government and municipalities in North America. Furthermore, the company continues to be involved in supporting its partner deliver solutions to government clients.

Alphinat intends to pursue its partnership strategy with consulting firms and systems integrators for resale and delivery of SmartGuide, with independent software vendors for OEM agreements and with other partners for the launch of SaaS services. Management believes that these agreements will help reduce the sales cycle of the company’s products while giving it additional exposure to potential clients.

For the 3-month period ended February 28, 2018, the Company recorded total revenue of $354,373 compared to $499,399 for the same period in 2017. For the quarter ended February 28, 2018, profits before financial expenses and depreciation amount to $36,927. The loss for the period ended February 28, 2018 amounted to $(12,587) or $(0.0002) per outstanding common share compared to earnings of $167,455 or $0.003 per outstanding common share for the 3-month period ended February 28, 2017.

About Alphinat

At Alphinat, we are driven by the passion to make application development easy for everyone. It always struck us as odd that the people with the vision of how a finished application should look and behave would only be involved at the start of the process. After all, what better way to ensure a favourable outcome than to provide those closest to an application’s end-users with a vested interest in its success throughout its development?

That’s why we bring you new ways to empower the right people at the right time in the application development process. At the same time, we’re constantly working to reduce the need to code in order to make application development and maintenance simpler and less error-prone.

So, whether you choose to develop your applications with the help of our low-code platform SmartGuide®, kickstart your project using one of our pre-built apps or engage us or one of our partners to do the work for you, we’re here to help you deploy better applications in record time. Visit https://www.alphinat.com for more information. We look forward to hearing from you.
