Two Customers Launch Wallet and Vault Solution During Quarter

 



TORONTO, Canada, August 1, 2008 – Diversinet Corp. (TSX Venture: DIV, OTCBB: DVNTF), a leading provider of wireless data application and security infrastructure products and services, today announced financial results for the second quarter of 2008. 

Revenues for the second quarter were $565,000, up 65 percent compared to $342,000 in Q1 2008 and down from $1,017,000 for the second quarter of 2007.  Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2008 were $906,000, down from $1,923,000 in the same period in 2007.  During the second quarter of 2008 two of the Company’s customers successfully launched their applications using Diversinet’s Wallet and Vault technology.  All dollar amounts are in U.S. dollars.

The net loss for the second quarter of 2008 was $1,205,000 or $0.03 per share compared to $1,045,000, or $0.03 per share in the second quarter of 2007.  The net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2008 was $2,363,000, or $0.05 per share, compared to a net loss of $1,376,000 or $0.04 per share in the similar six months of 2007.  Included in the second quarter net loss are non-cash stock-based compensation, depreciation and amortization of $304,000 ($218,000 in Q2 2007).  Cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2008 were $7,864,000 and $8,394,000 at December 31, 2007. 

As stated in our 2007 annual results press release, Diversinet now has two live customer launches of its Wallet and Vault platform licensed in 2007 and expects to have additional customer wins in the second half of 2008. 

Company, customer, and product solution highlights include:

  • In June, Intersections launched Mobile Lockbox, a major enhancement to the Identity Guard® Total Protection service.  MobiSecure® Wallet and Vault mobile secure encrypted access solution is at the heart of the offering.  MobiSecure Wallet and Vault provides Intersections with a mobile security platform to extend its core Identity Guard offering by creating a host of new services that build closer, more personal and “sticky” relationships with new and existing customers.

  • In April, AllOne launched its mobile application that uses Diversinet’s secure MobiSecure Wallet and Vault product line to place personal health records (PHR) at consumers’ fingertips through their mobile phones.  AllOne Mobile accesses an individual’s PHR in a secure environment and links to the users’ mobile phones, giving them well-organized, easy-to-use, 24/7 mobile access.  Users can manage and share their PHRs with physicians, hospitals, clinics and emergency personnel helping to improve medical outcomes.  AllOne data is stored behind a password-protected encrypted channel through a partnership with Diversinet.  The application is downloaded wirelessly to phones and is automatically updated with the most current security and features available.  This level of security and control gives users the confidence and comfort to create, manage and enhance their PHRs using the mobile phone or the Web.

  • In April Diversinet launched the MobiSecure® USBToken.  The MobiSecure USBToken is a One Time Password (OTP) authentication technology contained within a durable, portable USB device which is driverless and leaves no residual footprint on the user’s computer. 

  • In June CEO and Chairman Albert Wahbe exercised 2,300,000 share purchase warrants for gross proceeds of US$1,725,000.  The share purchase warrants had an exercise price of US$0.75 per common share.  Diversinet intends to use the new funds to continue its research and development programs and expand our sales and service activities. 

Mr. Wahbe stated “We are delighted that AllOne and Intersections were able to successfully launch their product offering during the second quarter.  With the launch of the Wallet and Vault product and the introduction of the MobiSecure USBToken we continue to build our product offering to increase revenue opportunities and enhance our long term shareholder value.”
