TORONTO, Canada, May 1, 2009 – Diversinet Corp. (TSX Venture: DIV, OTCBB: DVNTF), a leading provider of secure application platforms for the mobile world, today announced financial results for first quarter of 2009.  All dollar amounts are in U.S. dollars.
Revenues for the quarter were $2,010,000, up 488% from $342,000 in the first quarter of 2008.  The Q1 2009 revenues include $1,625,000 from the $40 million five-year worldwide license and revenue share agreement with AllOne Mobile Corporation (“AllOne”) signed in Q3 2008.
The net income for the first quarter of 2009 was $182,000 or $0.00 per share, compared to a net loss of $1,159,000, or $0.03 per share in the first quarter of 2008.  Included in the first quarter net income are stock-based compensation, depreciation and amortization of $266,000 ($227,000 in Q1 2008).  Also included in the first quarter net income is a foreign exchange loss of $323,000 ($21,000 gain in Q1 2008).  Cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2009 were $10,719,000 and $12,075,000 at December 31, 2008. 

Company, customer and product solution highlights include:

  • During the first quarter, AllOne, our exclusive global health care partner announced that in response to soldiers returning home with traumatic brain injuries and other significant injuries, the U.S. military is launching a pilot telehealth outreach program to better track their progress.  Through AllOne MobileSM, a health information management application provided by AllOne Health and secured by Diversinet, secure, two-way mobile technology will link wounded warriors recuperating at home with their case managers and unit support staff.
    AllOne Mobile’s system will give injured service members access to case managers and other military personnel who will monitor and stay in touch with Soldiers through personalized encrypted messages.  Data received from Soldiers will help to better personalize and monitor daily care.  Initially, AllOne Mobile's platform is anticipated to support the rehabilitation needs of up to 10,000 returning soldiers in a phased implementation over the next year.

  • We are extending our MobiSecure Wallet and Vault software capabilities to allow secure access and communicate static data into two-way secure data exchange, messaging and challenge response to our AllOne Mobile solution.  This new innovation expands our health care market opportunity to include case management and disease management control and follow-up.

  • Also during Q1 2008, AllOne announced two deals that expand the national reach of AllOne Mobile, a wireless application that manages personal health information and is secured by Diversinet, to nearly 400,000 potential users.  Significa Insurance Group and Erin Group Administrators members can securely view, manage and exchange their health care information with physicians, hospitals, pharmacies and other health care providers anytime, anywhere – without the need for an Internet connection.  Specifically, AllOne Mobile will help these consumers and their families by allowing them to do things on their mobile phones such as:

    • View and send insurance coverage information,
    • Track prescription drugs,
    • Catalog allergies, or fax a child’s allergy records to the school nurse,
    • Send health information, including a family health history, to a physician, and
    • Receive health tips to better manage chronic conditions.

Albert Wahbe, CEO and Chairman stated “While Q1 saw the introduction of additional customers through our relationship with AllOne, we believe that we can make additional progress in the health care industry even in these challenging economic times.  We are pleased to report our third consecutive profitable quarter.”
