"In B.C. we saw continued rapid adoption of econveyance with our user base doubling over last year. In the U.K., as a result of our software integration with Expert Agent, customer sign-ups significantly increased."
Johnson continued: "Going forward, we expect this growth momentum to continue.

First Quarter Review
--------------------
Revenue for Q1 fiscal 2008 grew 129% to $0.5 million, compared to $0.2 million for the same period in fiscal 2007. Revenue from Canadian operations were $0.4 million, and revenue from U.K. operations were $0.07 million, representing a 124% and 163% increase over Q1 fiscal 2007, respectively.
During Q1 2008, OneMove processed 15,000 econveyance transactions in B.C., compared with 7,000 transactions in Q1 of last year, resulting in an increase in average daily revenue to approximately $6,000, compared to approximately $3,000 in Q1 of 2007. In the U.K., as a result of the Company's commercial release of its MMS in the previous year and its software integration with Expert Agent during the quarter, OneMove realized a significant increase in customer sign-ups in Q1 2008.
Total expenses for Q1 fiscal 2008 were $1.7 million, compared to $1.5 million for fiscal 2007. The year-over-year increase in expenses was driven by public company costs and increased investment in the Company's B.C. and U.K. operations.
EBITDA was $(1.1) million for Q1 fiscal 2008, compared to $(1.0) million in fiscal 2007. EBITDA for Canadian operations was $(0.02) million, compared to $(0.3) million in fiscal 2007, and Q1 EBITDA for U.K. operations was $(0.7)million, relatively similar to $(0.7) million in fiscal 2007. Although the Company experienced year-over-year improvements in revenue, during the first quarter OneMove continued to invest in its operations and further enhancements to its product and service offering in B.C. and the U.K. Management expects quarterly fluctuations in EBITDA due to the seasonality of the real estate market.
For Q1, net loss was $1.1 million, or $0.02 per share, compared to $1.2 million, or $0.11 per share, in Q1 of fiscal 2007. Operating loss from Canadian operations was $0.06 million, compared to a loss of $0.5 million for Q1 fiscal 2007. For its U.K. operations, OneMove's operating loss for the quarter was $0.8 million, compared to a loss of $0.7 million the prior year.
Cash and cash equivalents were $2.5 million at September 30, 2007. In addition, the Company had working capital of $2.0 million at September 30, 2007, compared to $3.0 million at June 30, 2007.
