VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA — (Marketwired) — 05/29/13 — OneMove Technologies Inc. (“OneMove” or the “Company”) (TSX VENTURE: OM), the provider of the leading web-based real estate transaction platform and the creator of the largest and fastest growing online community of conveyancing professionals, announced today its financial results for the nine months period ended March 31, 2013. All figures are reported in Canadian dollars.
The third quarter saw the Company continue to build its membership and brand by concentrating on adding new users and expanding the largest network of conveyance professionals. Our expansion was maintained in spite of the continuation of the real estate market contraction. For the quarter ended March 2013, MLS® listed sales in British Columbia were down by 19.33% compared to the same period a year ago.
Third Quarter Operational Highlights
Fiscal 2013 Q3 Financial Summary
Operations in British Columbia
Concurrent with Q1 and Q2, the results for this quarter have been negatively affected by the downturn in the British Columbia real estate market which is due to the tighter mortgage credit regulations. The number of real estate transactions recorded through the MLS have declined, respectively, 15%, 25% and 18% in January, February and March of this year versus a year ago.
Our sales teams have started to commercialize our large volume project version of econveyance in BC which has been and continues to be in beta testing. Prospects for this platform are promising and we already booked modest revenues from a handful of customers this quarter.
We expect that some initiatives, like a price increase in BC and the launch our new branding and communication campaigns planned for April 2013 will improve the Company-s top and bottom line.
Operations in Alberta
Most of the Company-s commercial efforts are now in the province of Alberta, which is currently enjoying a more stable real estate market. We are still assessing our growth in Alberta and hope to increase our market penetration. Alberta is different from BC as more competitors are present, the market is more fragmented and there are many prospects that have not yet embraced an electronic conveyancing platform. The Company continued to invest in sales and marketing in Q3. Our sales teams continue to build their pipelines and we expect that this will materialize in stronger Q4 sales. Our sales operations in Alberta are being adversely affected by the difficulties of recruiting talented individuals in this province.
Take over bid
The Company was subject to a takeover bid by 0955662 B.C. Ltd., a company owned by Plantro Ltd. and Seastone Investments Ltd., during Q3. The going-private transaction will be completed by way of a statutory amalgamation of the Company and 0955662 B.C. Ltd. (the “Amalgamation”). The Amalgamation was approved by shareholders at the special meeting of shareholders held May 17, 2013 and is expected to close in the coming days. Upon completion of the Amalgamation, it is anticipated that the common shares of the Company will be de-listed from the TSX-V and the Company will make application to cease to be a reporting issuer.
