The increase in revenue and gross profit when comparing the first six months of 2014 to the first six months of 2013 is attributable to the sale of 7,000 MobiKEY Fusion devices to a component of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, 4,000 of which were delivered in the first quarter of 2014, and the purchase of the MobiKEY application software service by a second component of the United States Department of Defense.

Route1's Q2 2014 total comprehensive net loss was $0.03 million compared to $0.07 million during the same period in 2013. Route1's YTD 2014 total comprehensive net income was $0.41 million compared to a comprehensive net loss of $0.22 million during the same period of 2013

The net increase in MobiKEY application software users is a result of organic growth from accounts within the U.S. Department of Defense. Route1 expects further organic growth from these same accounts in Q3 2014.

Route1 also realized revenue growth of $17 per subscriber in Q2 2014 compared to Q1 2014 as a result of an improved U.S. dollar exchange rate at the time of renewing its two largest accounts, both with the U.S. government, between March 15, 2014 and April 30, 2014.

Business Development

Route1 has been leveraging U.S. government reciprocity rules and the installed accredited infrastructure to grow the number of proof of concepts within the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD). As a result, Route1 expects that as it continues to works towards closing large, enterprise deals, there will also be smaller account purchases from DOD components that will drive increased subscription revenue.

The Company has also continued to invest business development resources in the Canadian federal government and selective commercial enterprise opportunities. Route1 remains cautiously optimistic that the Canadian federal government is moving towards an IT security model that is more closely aligned to Route1's view of best security practices: keeping data behind enterprise firewalls, and the use of smart-card based, multi-factor authentication.

Brian Brunetti, Route1 President, noted, "The July 2014 reported breach of Canada's National Research Council network by a Chinese state-sponsored actor, according to a statement issued by the office of the Canadian government's CIO, highlights why government and enterprises need to act now to build secure IT infrastructure that moves beyond dated enterprise mobility approaches like VPNs to address today's user demands in a cost sensitive environment."
