Andrew Cheung, CEO of 01 Communique, stated, "We have seen our revenue more than double year to date to $749,324 from $349,827 for nine months ended July 31, 2020. This has allowed us to increase our investment in development and commercialization of IronCAP™. As announced on July 28^th we completed and released a new version of DoMobile with enhanced security putting us ahead of our competitors. It is now being marketed in Japan by our partner Hitachi Solutions Create, Ltd. We look forward to a continued increase in subscriber numbers and revenue. Throughout the third quarter we also continued with development of our business version of IronCAP X™, which we believe to be the world's first quantum-safe email security product effectively preventing email phishing/fraud. We are excited about the prospects this additional revenue generating service presents to us and now with an increase in our sales and marketing team supported by a strong development team we are preparing to launch it later this year in October. As we get closer to launch date, we will provide an update to our shareholders."
