PeakSoft Corporation Announces $700,000 (Cdn) Financing and Second Quarter Operating Results
BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON--PeakSoft Corporation (ASE:PKT; OTC-BB:PEAFF) today announced a financing of up to $700,000 (Cdn) consisting of the grant of notes bearing interest at 12 percent and warrants to purchase common shares. Subject to the approval of the Alberta Stock Exchange, PeakSoft will issue up to 2.33 million two-year purchase warrants priced at $.30 Cdn. Each two-year purchase warrant will enable the holder to convert into one common share of the Company.
PeakSoft further advised that 1.466 million 2-year special warrants issued in a prior financing were not exercised and expired on April 7, 1998.
PeakSoft also announced operating results for the second quarter of fiscal 1998 (January 1, 1998 through March 31, 1998). Sales revenue for the quarter ending March 31, 1998 was $699,372 (Cdn) compared to $401,504 (Cdn) for the second quarter in 1997, an increase of 74 percent. Year-to-date revenue has increased 27 percent to $899,582 (Cdn) for the first six months of 1998 compared to $709,384 (Cdn) for the same period in 1997.
Net loss for the second quarter decreased 70 percent to $335,228 (Cdn) including an amortization expense of $205,574 related to a previous acquisition, from $1,098,334 (Cdn) in the second quarter in 1997. Loss per share decreased to $0.02 (Cdn) compared to $0.12 (Cdn) last year. Improved operating results were due to significantly reduced expenses and increased sales and licensing of NetMagnet. Complete financial reports for the second quarter are posted at the PeakSoft Web site (www.peak.com) and have been filed with the SEDAR and EDGAR systems.
"The timing of our move to a U.S. exchange and the promising results of our recent initiatives is excellent," stated Doug Foster, president and CEO of PeakSoft. "We were approved to trade on the OTC-BB on March 13, 1998, and when we achieve a "No Comment" status with the SEC on our Form 20-F filing, PeakSoft can expect to fully trade in the US under the symbol PEAFF as well as on the Alberta Stock Exchange under PKT. We expect the process to be complete in less than 60 days with a resulting benefit to shareholders of full reporting status in the U.S. and Canada."
