John Jacobson, President and CEO said, "Demand for Monexa's SaaS Billing broadened from other SaaS and Cloud-based businesses to more traditional bricks-and-mortar companies. We've been particularly successful with larger enterprise clients, whose demanding requirements are amply met by our mature application. Through the year we refined our pricing model and focused on product features to suit this discerning audience." Garth Albright, CFO said, "2010 has been a demanding but rewarding year as the company has right sized its operations while growing the new SaaS high margin business. We are also pleased with the stabilization of our traditional business revenue which was declining at a 23% rate year over year over the past 4 years but has now leveled off with a more modest revenue churn. The traditional business is composed of a solid stable of customers and is generating a consistent 43% gross margin. The ramping of our SaaS business coupled with the reduction of our operating costs has set Monexa in a firm position for success in 2011." Achievements in 2010: -- Monexa expanded our SaaS product offering and continues to expand this offering as our R&D group roll out new and expanded functionality. -- In Q1 2010, closed a non-brokered private placement of 8.9M shares for total gross proceeds of $445.5K to fund new customer acquisition. -- Achieved Level 1 certification SaS70 compliance and is completing SaS70 level II certification in Q2 2011. -- Signed three Fortune 500 company SaaS contracts in 2010. Implemented one in 2010, a second in February 2011 and the third is scheduled for implementation at the end of April 2011. -- SaaS pipeline has grown significantly during 2010 primarily with Enterprise customers and large potential customers and is currently $2.4M. -- Gross margin has increased to 52.8% for 2010, an increase of 7.1% as compared to 45.7% for the 2009 year. Non-GAAP measures EBITDA is a key measure used by management to evaluate the Company's performance. Management believes that EBITDA is useful as it provides an indication of the results generated by the Company's business activities prior to taking into consideration how those activities are financed and taxed and also prior to taking into consideration asset depreciation and other non-cash expenditures. EBITDA is not a recognized measure under Canadian GAAP, and accordingly, investors are cautioned that EBITDA should not be construed as an alternative to net earnings or loss determined in accordance with GAAP as an indicator of the financial performance of the Company or as a measure of the Company's liquidity and cash flows. EBITDA may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. The schedule below details how IP Applications reconciles its net loss per GAAP to EBITDA for the most recent four quarters. Note: for the quarter ended December 31, the impact of realized and unrealized foreign exchange gains and loss are excluded.
