TULSA, OK—August 13, 2012 – MacroSolve, Inc. (OTCPK: MCVE) (OTCQB: MCVE) (“MacroSolve” or the “Company”), a company focused on intellectual property licensing and patent enforcement in the mobile app market development space, today announced financial results for its second quarter of fiscal 2012, ended June 30, 2012.
Highlights for Q2 of fiscal 2012 include:

Also, as recently announced, all assets relating to the Illume Mobile business were sold to DecisionPoint Systems, Inc. in a profitable sale for $1,000,000 in cash and stock on July 31, 2012. In addition, MacroSolve may earn up to an additional $500,000 in cash and stock upon certain net revenue milestones being reached by DecisionPoint relating to the Illume Mobile assets;
Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2012 were $572,000 as compared to $219,000 in the quarter ended June 30, 2011. This 161% rise is due to increased intellectual property licensing and increased sales of the Company’s products and services.
Similarly, for the six month period ended June 30, 2012, revenues were $1,426,000 as compared to $335,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2011. This 326% increase in sales is a result of IP licensing, and increased sales of the Company’s products and services.
On June 30, 2012, MacroSolve had an additional $312,000 in backlog that is not included in the reported revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2012. The majority of this unbilled revenue was transferred to DecisionPoint as part of the July 31, 2012 sale of Illume Mobile assets.
Gross profit in the second quarter of fiscal 2012 rose 172% to $329,000 from $121,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 2011. For the six month period ended June 30, 2012, gross profit was up 335% to $827,000 from $190,000 in the first half of 2011.
Operating expenses increased 34% in the three months ended June 30, 2012 to $1,054,000 from $784,000 in the same period of fiscal 2011. The increase was driven by a rise in investments in growth via salaries, marketing, and public relations expenses in support of higher revenues, as well as depreciation and amortization expenses. The resulting loss from operations was $726,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 2012, up 10% over operating loss of $663,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 2011.
Similarly, the loss from operations for the six months ended June 30, 2012 was $(1,331,000), as compared to loss from operations in the same period of the prior year of $(1,141,000). The $170,000, or 15%, increase in loss from operations was primarily due to growth in company personnel in support of additional revenues offset by increased profit for the year to date.
Net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2012 was $(779,000) or $(0.01) per share, as compared to a net loss of $(723,000) or $(0.01) in the three months ended June 30, 2011, an increase of $56,000 or 8%. The rise was primarily due to increasing the Company’s workforce by 11 employees. For the six months ended June 30, 2012 net loss was $(1,484,000) or $(0.01) per share, as compared to a net loss of $(1,230,000) or $(0.01) per share for the six months ended June 30, 2011.
“We’ve just completed our sixth consecutive quarter of revenue increases, clearly demonstrating that our growth strategy is working,” stated MacroSolve Executive Chairman, Jim McGill. “With the sale of Illume Mobile assets, we are focusing on growing our intellectual property portfolio and license sales. We have confidence the next quarter will show strong results due to intellectual property and a unique investment approach that mentors budding developers in the world of mobile technology.”
