CALGARY, Alberta, Canada, Nov. 23 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Securac
Corp. ("Securac") (OTC:SECU) (BULLETIN BOARD: SECU) , an enterprise
governance, risk, and compliance software and services vendor and
provider of Acertus(TM), the leading integrated software platform
for assessing risk and compliance, today announced financial
results for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30,
2005. Financial Highlights (Dollar amounts are in Canadian Dollars)
Total revenue for the third quarter was $400,932, up 213% from the
same period last year. During the quarter, license revenue of
$61,979 grew by 180%. Revenue results were based on growth of
professional services with new and existing customers, and a
software licensing deal with a significant customer. An additional
$159,024 from this licensing transaction has been recorded under
deferred revenue and will be recognized monthly over the three-year
term of the license. Total revenue for the nine months ended
September 30, 2005 was $874,336, up 43% from the same period last
year. Note: Total revenue of $874,336 for the nine months ended has
already surpassed our total revenue for our twelve months ended
last year of $725,272. Total expenses for the quarter were
$1,694,007, an increase of 40% over the same period last year. The
increase was primarily attributable to our continued aggressive
sales and marketing endeavours in Canada and the U.S., and stock
based compensation, a non-cash outlay, of $753,832 in the third
quarter, -- an expense not expected to be incurred to any
significance in 2006. This resulted in a net loss of $1,525,071 for
the third quarter of 2005 compared to $1,115,883 in the same period
last year. Marketing and sales expenditures were $340,175 in the
third quarter of 2005 compared to $28,966 in the same period in
2004, and $958,249 for the first nine months of 2005 versus
$183,670 in 2004. The marketing and sales expenses incurred in the
third quarter resulted in positive sales and professional services
results, consistent with 2005 business plan expectations. Terry
Allen, Securac's chief executive officer, commented, "We are
delighted to have achieved record revenue results in the quarter,
driven by strong professional services and license revenue growth.
Our business plan is charting the way for Securac to continue on a
path of revenue growth to year-end and into 2006. Our Acertus(TM)
suite of software products and professional services are starting
to build the Securac brand and customer loyalty in a highly
competitive marketplace." Stated Allen, "The third quarter will be
looked upon as a milestone in our short, yet exciting history; we
have achieved revenue generation at a rate which bodes well for the
future of Securac. Our customer growth is trending in the right
direction and we are being very successful in managing our costs,
an area which we can and will control; in particular, general --
administrative and marketing -- sales expenses. In addition, we are
starting to see our sales pipeline bear results in terms of
realized sales both short and long term." Highlights/Items of
