MONTREAL, QUEBEC — (Marketwire) — 04/17/12 — Peak Positioning Technologies Inc. (“Peak”) (TSX VENTURE: PKK) today announced its financial results and reviewed highlights for the year ended December 31, 2011.

Operating Highlights:
“Our first year as a public company has been an exciting and eventful trip down parallel growth paths in China and North America”, said Johnson Joseph, Peak-s President and CEO. “The HomeWave mobility security solution, which we initially developed for North America, provided us with an entry point into the exploding Chinese mobile market. Interestingly though, that was only the beginning. As our relationship with LongKey grew stronger, the scope of our activities there has also grown to the point where we now believe that much of what we are doing in China will be adaptable for distribution to the North American telecom market”, Mr. Joseph explained.
Looking to the future, Mr. Joseph expects another big year with important milestones in 2012. “A new mobile framework, co-developed with LongKey, is virtually complete and will be launched shortly”, he said. “A successful launch could lead to significant royalties for Peak in the remaining three quarters of the year”, Mr. Joseph added. “Closer to home, our goal is to complete the adaptation of our applications for tablets, smartphones and portable computers by mid-year and sign up a North American telecom supplier to market the applications to business customers by year end”, he stated.
Fiscal 2011 Financial Results Summary
The Company generated $2,500 in royalty revenues for the year ended December 31, 2011 as the result of a pilot project in China with its partner LongKey. In the prior year period there were interest revenues of $4,827. Although the 2011 revenues were minimal, the $2,500 in royalty revenues is significant because it marked the successful integration of the Company-s applications into its Chinese partner-s platform.
Reflecting increased activity and development work for the Chinese and North American markets as well as the costs associated with becoming a public company, expenses for 2011 were $2,344,404 compared to $356,509 in the prior year. The net loss for the year was $2,341,904 compared to $351,682 in 2010.
