OneSoft Solutions Inc. Reports Record Revenue Quarter for the Three Months ended November 30, 2018

Sales Momentum is Accelerating Following the Completion of CIM 3.0

EDMONTON, AB / ACCESSWIRE / January 24, 2019 / OneSoft Solutions Inc. (the "Company" or "OneSoft") (TSX-V: OSS, OTCQB: OSSIF), a North American developer of cloud-based business solutions, is pleased to announce its financial results for the three and nine months ended November 30, 2018. Unless otherwise stated, all dollar amounts are Canadian dollars. Please refer to the interim unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis ("MD&A") for the three and nine months ended November 30, 2018 filed on SEDAR at www.sedar.com for more information.

FINANCIAL SUMMARY FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 2018

The following chart summarizes the third quarter ended November 30, 2018, compared to November 30, 2017:

• Revenue for the quarter increased 95.4% year-over-year, from $260,343 to $508,732, primarily due to a near doubling of the Company's revenues from Cognitive Integrity Management^TM ("CIM") solution.
  
  
• Gross profit for the quarter increased 82.5% year-over-year, from $215,944 to $394,153. Gross margin remained strong at 77% this quarter as the Company continues to benefit from high software margins.
  
  
• Expenses for the quarter increased 30.7% year-over-year, due to additional staff hires, general and administrative expense, and increases in internal use Azure costs and sales and marketing expenses. Azure usage was cost-free in the comparative quarter last year, as the Company was still exhausting its USD $0.5 million Azure credit granted by Microsoft pursuant to the Company's participation in Microsoft's Accelerator program.
  
  
• The comprehensive loss for the quarter was $738,084 as compared to $629,229 in Q3 last year.
  
  
• Ended the quarter with $2.2 million of cash, no debt, and no outstanding warrants.

"Third quarter revenues nearly doubled year-over-year and we believe the Company is well-positioned to accelerate growth," said Dwayne Kushniruk, OneSoft's CEO. "We made important advancements during the quarter by engaging four prospective clients to participate in Cognitive Integrity Management^TM ("CIM") software trials and signing our first commercial client for CIM 3.0. Our product development work during the quarter resulted in completion of our more feature-rich CIM 3.0 solution, which in turn has led to the engagement of additional commercial clients. We expect cash to increase by approximately $1.5 million within the next month as a result of these and other developments."

On October 30, 2018, OneBridge won the prestigious 2018 ASTech Foundation award which included a $10,000 prize, for Outstanding Achievement in Energy and Environmental Innovation.

OPERATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS IN THE QUARTER ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 2018

• Focused on the Phillips 66 PT-DMS software development project, which we completed in December 2018.
  
  
• Advanced CIM 3.0 marketing and sales efforts, both directly with prospective clients and collaboratively with our sales partners, Microsoft and WorleyParsons.
  
  
• On September 24, 2018, the Company engaged its first multi-year client for CIM 3.0 and subsequently released CIM 3.0 for general commercial availability on October 18, 2018.
  
  
• As announced on September 17, 2018, the Company engaged four potential clients in software trial programs, who collectively operate 68,000 miles of oil and gas pipeline infrastructure in North America.
  
  
• Engaged a consulting firm to help the Company improve its sales processes, including comparing the value proposition of CIM solutions with systems currently used by prospective clients to maintain their pipeline assets. The objectives are to quantify and articulate the value that CIM, digital transformation, and cloud computing can provide to such clients, and to identify avoidable costs that use of CIM might prevent. This project may result in revised pricing for the Company's solutions in the future.

SUBSEQUENT TO QUARTER END

• January 14, 2019: OneSoft Completes Key Development Project Cash Infusion Strengthens Balance Sheet.
  
  
• January 7, 2019: OneSoft Subsidiary Announces Two New Clients, Including One Industry Super-Major
  
  
• December 31, 2018: OneSoft Solutions Renews Sophic Capital for Capital Markets Advisory Services Contract

BUSINESS OUTLOOK

The Company's past research and development ("R&D") activities and focus on early innovator and adopter clients is evolving to position the Company for growth. While revenue was minimal during the Company's R&D phase, we anticipate that revenue growth will begin to accelerate as more clients adopt our solutions.

With four clients (including several Fortune 500 companies and one Super-major) now contracted to use our technology, we believe OneBridge solutions has achieved a milestone that will assist in the pursuit of greater wins with large companies. We are optimistic for near-term progress in this regard for several reasons:

• As the experiences of our innovator and early adopter clients becomes known within the industry, and particularly considering those who are highly regarded as leaders in innovation by industry peers, reluctance to embrace our new technology solutions is anticipated to diminish. Whereas relatively few companies wish to incur risks associated with being first, the majority of companies tend to adopt once the value of new technology is proven by industry leaders.

• A number of our prospective customers have been engaged in sales processes for many months and are approaching decision points. These interactions have provided valuable insight into a wide range of client operational strategies, as well as access to a vast amount of data, which has allowed us to refine our machine learning algorithms and thereby deliver continually enhanced functionality based on shared learning for clients. Analyses of data from multiple operators that represent a wide range of operational logistics is highly advantageous over single operator or single inspection tool datasets. Access to this data also gives us a competitive advantage over future potential competitive machine learning solutions. Our algorithms allow operators to retain their data confidentiality, while still benefiting from the shared learning that is gleaned across all operators' data. We believe that this is a primary consideration that may eventually motivate even the pipeline operators who currently depend on in-house software systems to adopt CIM, as their analyses will only ever contemplate their own data, without access to benefits of shared learning.

• We believe that being first to market with validation by industry leaders, collaboration with key technology and sales partners with global reach, and a strategy to continue to deliver cutting-edge technology solutions, collectively provide a significant competitive advantage that the Company will be able to leverage for the foreseeable future.

As announced in October 2018, Management has changed the Company's year end from February 28 to December 31, to synchronize with common fiscal reporting periods for technology and oil and gas companies as well as to align our sales activities with customers' budget cycles and better facilitate analysis of our Company amongst industry peers. For the 10-month fiscal year ending December 31, 2018, revenue is expected to quadruple over the prior fiscal year (comprising 12 months of operations), to exceed $4 million. This revenue bump results from the recognition of $2 million of deferred revenue previously recorded, additional revenue associated with the Polaris development project, and other sales. While the revenue bump is not all SaaS recurring revenue, it is conceivable that the Company may undertake similar development projects in the future which may produce similar revenue events.

As a result of these and other recent operational events, the Company expects cash to increase by $1.5 million, to approximately $3.3 million by the end of February 2019. Management's objective is to achieve cash positive operations during calendar 2019 through on-boarding of new clients, and we anticipate the Company will not require further financings to fund the business plan as currently envisioned.
