Titan Logix Corp. Reports Financial Results for Fiscal 2009 Second-Quarter

Titan Logix Corp., (TSX VENTURE:TLA), today reported its unaudited financial results for the second quarter of its fiscal 2009 ended February 28, 2009.

Summary of Sales Revenue, Gross Profit and Net Income:

Titan's sales in the second quarter ended February 28, 2009 were $2,747,011, up by $1,140,020 and an improvement of 71% from $1,606,991 in the second quarter of the previous fiscal year. Gross profit in the three month period was $1,287,563 with a 47% gross margin compared to $539,169 with a 34% gross margin in the second quarter of the previous fiscal year. Net earnings and comprehensive income was $475,356 ($0.02 per diluted share) in this second quarter compared to a loss of $205,740 (-$0.01 per diluted share) in the second quarter of the previous fiscal year.

Year to date, sales in the first six months of fiscal 2009 were $5,450,627, an improvement of 48% over sales of $3,674,923 in the first six months of the previous fiscal year. The company's gross profit in the first six months of fiscal 2009 was 85% higher at $2,413,420 compared to $1,303,443 in the first six months of fiscal 2008. Net earnings and comprehensive income was $801,099 ($0.03 per diluted share) in the first six months of this fiscal year compared to a loss of $194,663 (-$0.01 per diluted share) in the past fiscal year.

In addition to improved margins (44% versus 35%) which led to much improved profitability in the first six months of fiscal 2009 compared to the previous fiscal year, Titan recorded a recovery of product development costs relating to scientific research and experimental development (SR&ED) claims for the three previous fiscal years. That, together with a gain on foreign currency exchange, substantially added to the positive profit picture in the six month period of fiscal 2009 ended February 28, 2009.

"Our positive results are a reflection of improvements in the design and implementation of our sales program initiated in Q3 of fiscal 2008", states Les J. Evans, President and CEO of Titan Logix Corp. "Our customers however are not immune from the current global financial difficulties and we are monitoring and controlling our spending as we navigate our way through the current recession. We are experiencing a slowdown and expect our revenues to decrease to traditional lower levels for the spring breakup period during the next quarter."

Summary of Operating Expenses:

Total expenses for the second quarter of fiscal 2009 ended February 28, 2009 were 17% lower, down to $636,124 from $764,812 in the second quarter of the previous fiscal year. The lower total expense is primarily due to a recovery of product development costs and a substantial gain on foreign currency exchange. General and administration expenses in the second quarter were up 34% to $473,269 from $352,125 in the second quarter of the previous year. Product development expenses saw a net recovery of $216,577 compared to expenses of $97,659 in the previous year's second quarter. A recovery of $315,410 from scientific research and experimental development (SR&ED) claims for product development costs for fiscal 2006, 2007 and 2008 offset the product development expenses of $98,833 in this second quarter. Marketing and sales expenses, which rose by 38% to $393,870 this quarter from $284,946 in the second quarter of the previous year, were higher because of sales training costs, employee compensation and travel expenses being higher.

Working Capital:

At February 28, 2009, working capital was $4,865,305 compared to the year-end balance of $4,259,064 at August 31, 2008. Cash and cash equivalents were $1,893,489 compared to $1,633,147 at the end of fiscal 2008. Titan does not have any debt except for trade payables.
