Highlights for Q1 of fiscal 2012 include:
Revenues increased 635% to $853,000 from $116,000 in the same period of FY 2011;
$255,000 backlog expected to be completed in Q2 for custom mobile app solution services;

Gross profit increased 622% to $498,000 from $69,000 in Q1 of FY 2011; and
The Company-s distribution network supported growth in new sales of software products and solution services.
Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2012 were $853,000 as compared to $116,000 in the quarter ended March 31, 2011. This 635% rise is due to increased intellectual property licensing and increased sales of the Company-s products and services.
On March 31, 2012, MacroSolve had an additional $255,000 in backlog that is not included in the reported revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 but is expected to be earned during the second quarter of 2012.
Gross profit in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 rose 622% to $498,000 from $69,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2011.
Operating expenses increased 99% in the three months ended March 31, 2012 to $1,084,000 from $546,000 in the same period of fiscal 2011. The increase was driven by a rise in investments in growth via salaries, marketing, and public relations expenses in support of higher revenues, as well as depreciation and amortization expenses. The resulting loss from operations was $586,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2012, up 23% over operating loss of $477,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2011.
Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2012 was ($705,000) or $(0.01) per share, as compared to a net loss of $(507,000) or $(0.01) in the three months ended March 31, 2011, an increase of $198,000, or 39%. The rise was primarily due to increasing the Company-s workforce by 24 employees in support of future growth.
“We-ve just completed our fifth consecutive quarter of revenue increases, clearly demonstrating that our growth strategy is working,” stated MacroSolve CEO and President, Steve Signoff. “We are ramping revenues at a brisk pace on two fronts: mobile app solution services and licensing sales. Both of these revenue sources are high in margins. Our custom mobile app solution services are experiencing strong momentum, with a current backlog of approximately $250,000. We are seeing this momentum continue into the second quarter.”
