For the three-month period ended March 31, 2011, total revenues increased to $1.4 million versus $1.0 million during the corresponding period in 2010.

The lower gross margin is attributed to the increased number of devices that were sold at or near cost during the period in the first quarter of 2011 compared to same period in 2010.

EBITDA and net income during the first quarter of 2011 amounted to $205,000 and $60,822, respectively, versus negative EBITDA and net loss of $127,000 and $328,338 during the corresponding period in 2010.

"We continue to make excellent progress with our key customers albeit a little slower than initially anticipated," said Tony Busseri, President and CEO of Route1. "Based on our recent announcements and other opportunities in our pipeline, we expect to see increased revenue and earnings in the coming quarters."

As at June 15, 2011, Route1 had 15,740 paid, active TruOFFICE application software subscribers.

1. Calculated by taking the average of the closing TruOFFICE subscriber number at the end of the month for each of the three months during the quarter.
2. For the three months ended September 30, 2010, the ending subscriber number includes the 1,533 subscriptions sold to US DHS, CBP on September 16, 2010. Revenue recognition for the new subscriber service, as per Company policy, commenced in the month of October 2010.
3. During the second quarter of fiscal year 2010, current management evaluated the various pricing models which were used by the previous management team to arrive at a subscriber total. Current management, after reviewing the sustainable and upward trend seen on a revenue per subscriber basis, elected to terminate any heavily discounted and/or free subscriptions as of June 30, 2010. All of these discounted and/or free service arrangements were with channel partners and had been put in place by past management.
