Diversinet Reports Third Quarter 2006 Financial Results
Strategic Licensing Agreement Signed In Quarter
Cash Used In Operations Drops From $726,000 In Q2 To $427,000 In Q3
TORONTO, Canada, November 7, 2006 – Diversinet Corp. (OTCBB: DVNTF), a leading provider of mobile-enabled personal authentication and security solutions, today announced financial results for third quarter of 2006. During the quarter Diversinet’s revenues increased, net loss was reduced, and cash used in operations was reduced over the same quarter last year. Diversinet continued its strategic focus on building a distribution network for consumer authentication and related value-added applications by signing a strategic licensing agreement with a leading global identity authentication and protection company serving several million consumers.
Revenues for the quarter were $432,000, up 67 percent compared to $258,000 in the third quarter of 2005. Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 were $1,381,000, up 47 percent from $942,000 in 2005. Diversinet’s strategic licensing agreement signed during the quarter includes an initial license component of $100,000. While this $100,000 portion of the overall contract has been included in ‘deferred revenue’ on the balance sheet we expect to be able to bring it into revenue over the coming quarters. Cash used in continuing operations for the quarter was $427,000 compared to $650,000 in 2005 and $726,000 in Q2 2006. Cash used in continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was $1,559,000 compared to $2,100,000 in 2005. All dollar amounts are in U.S. dollars.
The net loss for the third quarter of 2006 was $932,000, or $0.03 per share, compared to a net loss of $3,323,000 or $0.17 per share in the third quarter of 2005. Included in the third quarter net loss are stock-based compensation, depreciation and amortization of $383,000 ($2,589,000 in Q3 2005 including goodwill and customer asset impairment charges). The net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was $2,401,000, or $0.08 per share, compared to a net loss of $6,080,000 or $0.31 per share for the comparable period in 2005. Included in the nine-month net loss are stock-based compensation, depreciation and amortization of $938,000 ($3,522,000 in 2005 including goodwill and customer asset impairment charges). Cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2006 were $4,790,000 compared to $1,356,000 at December 31, 2005.
Third quarter 2006 company, customer and solution highlights include:
•
Diversinet made significant progress on the development of additional applications extending the functionality of the MobiSecure system and the MobiSecure soft token product for new consumer solutions in the financial services and healthcare sectors. The company is engaged in several proof-of-concept development agreements with major clients in these sectors for secure, wireless delivery of confidential personal information to a personal mobile phone, enabling innovative new customer services to be offered.
•
Diversinet was granted a new patent for its method of establishing secure communications in a digital network by using pseudonymic digital identifiers to secure the identity of users and servers; this is the fourth patent awarded to the company. This method ensures greater security and efficiency for consumer authentication products. The company plans to use this patent in future MobiSecure products and for future IP licensing.
•
As previously disclosed in the second quarter release, on July 26, 2006, Diversinet completed an equity financing through the sale and issue of 1,538,463 units by way of private placement at $0.65 per unit for gross proceeds of $1,000,001. This financing was in addition to the $4.0 million financing completed in the second quarter. Each unit is comprised of one common share and one common share purchase warrant. Each whole warrant is exercisable to purchase one common share at a price of $1.00, for a period of up to two years until July 26, 2008. The proceeds will be used for operations including product packaging, product marketing and sales.
“We are pleased to report another quarter of improved revenue, reduced losses, and a stronger financial picture as we continue on our path to profitability” said Nagy Moustafa, CEO of Diversinet. “We continue to build out our distribution network with the addition of a strategic licensing agreement with a leading global identity authentication and protection company serving several million consumers, and through our new agreements and development work with major financial services and health sector clients. Over the coming quarters we will be focusing on the sales and marketing of our existing and new products.”

During the first quarter of 2005 $392,242 of goodwill relating to the DSS reporting unit was included in the determination of the loss on disposition of discontinued operations. During the third quarter of 2005, a Caradas customer contract expired and accordingly a goodwill and customer asset impairment analysis was performed for the Caradas reporting unit.

Overview
Please find enclosed the unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets as at September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 and the unaudited Consolidated Statements of Loss and Deficit and Cash Flows for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 and the unaudited Notes to Interim Consolidated Financial Statements for Diversinet Corp. Readers should also refer to our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2005. We report our unaudited consolidated financial statements in accordance with Canadian Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). All financial figures are in U.S. dollars unless otherwise noted.
Founded in 1997 and based in Toronto, Canada, Diversinet is a provider of personal authentication and security solutions for the wireless world. Our software and services protect user identity and provide secure access for consumer and business applications using a variety of mobile phones, Personal Digital Assistants and personal computers. Our scaleable, open mobile security platform enables enterprises and service providers to rapidly develop, deploy and manage next-generation wireless security services. Our technology simplifies what had previously been a complex set of technical problems in both information security and wireless data communications. In January 2005, Diversinet began to focus on the evolving protection and trust needs of mobile users. These financial results reflect this shift in focus and the time required to build up a customer base under this new strategy and a rebuilding of the sales and ma rketing strategy of the Company.
Diversinet’s MobiSecure soft tokens and MobiSecure Authentication Service Center (MASC) enable financial service providers, mobile network operators and security service providers to rapidly develop, deploy and manage secure on-line services for mobile device and PC users worldwide. Our MobiSecure soft tokens are securely provisioned and managed by MASC and are available on the leading intelligent mobile device platforms, including Symbian, Microsoft, RIM, Palm and Java-based phones as well as on personal computers running Microsoft Windows.
Diversinet’s combination of client software and wireless provisioning services enables the issuance and management of mobile device authentication tokens and also creates a technology platform from which we can provide an entirely new and powerful set of capabilities in the mobile e-commerce environment in the form of digital identities, digital permissions and wireless wallets. In addition to providing mobile device security and provisioning solutions, Diversinet deploys an experienced professional services team for application development, consulting, training and technical support.
During the first quarter of 2006, RSA Security Inc. (the security division of EMC Corporation) entered into a license agreement under which Diversinet will provide mobile device and PC-based software tokens and integrated provisioning services. The agreement includes licensing, development and revenue-sharing components that will result in revenues of a minimum of $2.2 million to Diversinet over three years. Under this commercial agreement, the Diversinet MobiSecure soft token suite and Diversinet’s MobiSecure Authentication Service Center (MASC) will be integrated into RSA Security’s products and services, enabling the downloading, provisioning, and management of RSA Security’s mobile and PC-based soft tokens. Under GAAP, the revenue from this arrangement will be recognized over its term.
On July 26, 2006, we completed a private placement of 1,538,463 units, at $0.65 per unit, for gross proceeds of $1,000,000 and issued 96,154 units for consulting services related to the private placement. Each unit is comprised of one common share and one common share purchase warrant. The warrant will be exercisable to purchase one common share for each whole warrant at a price of $1.00 and expire on July 26, 2008. This transaction was effected as a private placement in accordance with Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. We will use the net proceeds for working capital and for general corporate purposes.
On June 30, 2006, we completed a private placement of 6,680,001 units, at $0.60 per unit, for gross proceeds of $4,008,000. Each unit is comprised of one common share and one common share purchase warrant. One half of the warrant will be exercisable to purchase one common share for each whole warrant at a price of $0.75, the other half warrant at $0.90, and expire on June 30, 2008. This transaction was effected as a private placement in accordance with Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. We will use the net proceeds for working capital and for general corporate purposes.
On September 26, 2005, we completed a private placement of 5,000,000 common shares for gross proceeds of $2,000,000 and issued 71,250 common share purchase warrants to our placement agent. The warrants expire on September 26, 2008 and are exercisable at $0.40 per share. This transaction was effected as a private placement in accordance with Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
We have incurred operating losses in each of the last nine fiscal years, most recently from our continuing operations of developing security solutions. We have sustained our business during this period through the sale of common shares in a series of private placements, by raising gross proceeds in the past two years of $2.65 million in December 2004, $2.0 million in September 2005 and most recently by raising $5.0 million in June and July of 2006. We cannot provide assurance that we will be able to raise sufficient funds in the future to sustain our operations.
Operating Results
For the three months ended September 30, 2006, we reported revenue of $432,000 compared to revenue of $258,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2005. Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was $1,381,000 compared to $942,000 for 2005. During Q1 2006 we began work on the RSA Security development work and in Q2 2006 we started providing annual support which we are invoicing quarterly at a rate of $75,000. We are applying a zero gross margin percentage of completion method for this development agreement, providing us with $210,000 in Q3 ($846,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006) in both revenues and cost of sales. During Q3 2006 we signed an agreement with a credit management and identity theft prevention company which includes a license component for $100,000. This $100,000 portion of the overall contract has been included in ‘deferred revenue’ on the balance sheet and we expec t to be able to bring it into revenue over the coming quarters. During the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 all of our revenues were derived from consulting services. We continue to focus on the U.S. market; for the three months ended September 30, 2006 we derived 90% (46% for 2005) of our revenues from this marketplace.
Cost of sales for the three months ended September 30, 2006 was $245,000 (or gross margin of 44%) compared with $89,000 (or gross margin of 66%) for the quarter ended September 30, 2005. Cost of sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was $991,000 (or gross margin of 28%) compared with $550,000 (or gross margin of 42%) for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. This represents the direct costs associated with completing the software solutions and providing the consulting services. The lower margins for 2006 are the result of the RSA Security project being reported on a zero margin basis until the engineering work is complete which is anticipated to occur during Q4 2006. Unbilled contract revenues in the amount of $100,000 was recorded to reflect the difference between these costs incurred and the amount invoiced to our client based on the terms of the agreement.
Research and development expenses decreased to $343,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2006 from $351,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2005. Research and development expenses decreased to $515,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2006 from $932,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2005. The decrease is in part due to the allocation of certain R&D staff expenses to revenue generating projects. Starting in Q1 2006, the development department focused a portion of their work effort towards completing modification to our products for RSA Security. In the past, this department’s time has been spent conducting research and developing our products for general availability. As a result, during the first nine months of 2006, product development costs of $730,000 (Q1 - $240,000, Q2 - $303,000, Q3 - $187,000) were reallocated from research and development to cost of sales. Costs w ere further reduced in Q1 of 2006 by $158,000 from the receipt of funds for our scientific research and experimental development (SRED) claim for the 2004 fiscal year. The increase in development costs of $471,000 (before the SRED credit and cost of sales allocation) over 2005 was largely due to an increase of 25% in the head count (from 16 to 20 people) in this department.
Sales and marketing expenses were $112,000 in the third quarter of 2006 compared to $267,000 in the third quarter of 2005. Sales and marketing expenses decreased to $511,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2006 from $936,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2005. The decrease is due in part to the allocation of certain staff expenses to cost of sales for the work effort towards completing modification to our products for RSA Security. In the past, this department’s time have not been allocated to revenue generating projects. As a result, during the first nine months of 2006, $115,000 (Q1 - $47,000, Q2 - $45,000, Q3 - $23,000) was reallocated from sales and marketing expenses to cost of sales. The overall head count in this department decreased by 50% from September 30, 2005 to September 30, 2006 (from 6 to 3 people).
General and administrative expenses were $655,000 for the third quarter of 2006 compared to $536,000 incurred during the similar period of 2005. General and administrative expenses were $1,687,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to $1,798,000 incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2005. Under GAAP the Company is required to estimate the fair value of stock-based compensation granted to employees and to expense the fair value over the estimated vesting period of the stock options and warrant grants. For Q3 2006 we recorded $330,000 ($223,000 - 2005) for stock-based compensation expense. For the nine months ended September 30, 2006 we recorded $742,000 ($804,000 - 2005). Included in the Q3 2006 G&A is a $97,000, in cash and stock, CEO bonus for successful completion of the $5 million financings. Stock-based compensation expense decreased by $62,000 for the nine months ende d September 30, 2006 compared to 2005. Savings of $120,000 were reported in remuneration and travel costs due to reduced headcount in the first quarter of 2006.
Depreciation and amortization expense in the third quarter of 2006 was $43,000 compared to $140,000 in the third quarter of 2005. Depreciation and amortization expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 decreased to $122,000 from $492,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2005. This is consistent with the reduction in net capital assets.
We reported a loss from discontinued operations of $nil for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to net income of $48,000 in the prior year’s comparative period. In February 2005, DSS Software Technologies (“DSS”) completed an agreement whereby it sold the majority of its current assets, capital assets, current liabilities, consultant and customer accounts for $250,000. With the sale of the DSS assets, we have included the results of DSS as a single line item (‘discontinued operations’) in the financial statements. During the first quarter of 2005, with the sale of DSS’ assets, goodwill from the acquisition of DSS of $392,000 has been included in determining the loss on disposition.
We reported a net loss of $932,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2006 compared to a net loss of $3,323,000 in the prior year’s third quarter. The net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was $2,401,000 compared to $6,080,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. The reduced net loss is due in part to the impact of the goodwill impairment charge of $1,895,000 and $331,000 customer asset impairment charged reported in the third quarter of 2005.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments at September 30, 2006 were $4,790,000 compared with $2,570,000 at September 30, 2005. The net increase in cash and cash equivalents and short term investments for the third quarter of 2006 was $577,000 compared to $2,124,000 for the third quarter of 2005.
The cash usage for Q3 2006 is mainly due to operating activities, which used cash in an amount of $427,000. In July, we completed a private placement of 1,538,461 units, at $0.65 per unit, for gross proceeds of $1,000,000. Cash used in Q3 2005 is mainly due to operations, which used cash in the amount of $652,000 ($2,000 used by discontinued operations and $650,000 used in continuing operations). In September 2005, we completed a private placement of 5,000,000 common shares for gross proceeds of $2,000,000 and issued 71,250 common share purchase warrants to our placement agent. The warrants expire on September 26, 2008 and are exercisable at $0.40 per share.
We believe that our cash and cash equivalents and short term investments as at September 30, 2006 of $4,790,000 will be sufficient to meet our short-term working capital requirements for at least the next year. In the future, we will likely need to raise additional amounts to meet our working capital requirements through private or public financings, strategic relationships or other arrangements. However, additional funding may not be available on terms attractive to us, or at all. If we enter into strategic relationships to raise additional funds, we may be required to relinquish rights to certain of our technologies. Our failure to either raise capital when needed or to generate sufficient revenues would leave us with insufficient resources to continue our business.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates are used in determining the allowance for doubtful accounts and revenue recognition. In making such estimates and assumptions, management consults with employees knowledgeable in the area; gathers relevant information; where appropriate, seeks advice from qualified third parties; and, makes judgments, which in the opinion at that time, represent fair, balanced and appropriate conservative estimates and assumptions.
In the third quarter of 2006, we did not make any changes in our internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls over financial reporting. We periodically review our internal controls for effectiveness and conduct an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures each quarter. Other important accounting policies are described in note 2 to our 2005 audited consolidated financial statements.
Risks and Uncertainties
Our Company is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those predicted or anticipated. These risks are described in our F-3 and annual Form 20-F filed with the SEC in the United States atwww.sec.gov and filed on SEDAR in Canada atwww.sedar.com. We encourage you to review these filings in order to evaluate an investment in our securities. Some key risks that could cause actual results to differ materially from those predicted or anticipated are listed below.
Financial resources:
Our ability to continue operations may be dependent on our ability to obtain additional financing. Although we have made progress in developing our solutions and have completed initial consumer deployments, our revenue from operations is not sufficient to cover our operating expenses at present and is unlikely to be sufficient within fiscal 2006. We have obtained funding for operations from private placements in June and July 2006 and in the past, but there is no assurance we will be able to do so again in the near future despite the progress of the business. Our failure to either raise capital when needed or to generate sufficient revenues would leave us with insufficient resources to continue our business.
Our quarterly and annual operating results have varied substantially in the past and are likely to vary substantially from quarter to quarter and year to year in the future due to a variety of factors. In particular, our period-to-period operating results are significantly dependent upon the sale of license agreements and the continued success in providing professional services. In this regard, the purchase of our solutions often requires our customers to make a significant capital investment, which customers may view as a discretionary cost and, therefore, a purchase that can be deferred or cancelled due to budgetary or other business reasons. Furthermore, our ability to continue providing professional services is dependent upon being able to provide value added resources at reasonable rates. Estimating future revenues is also difficult. All revenue reported in the fiscal year ended September 30, 2006 was for prof essional services such as engineering services, maintenance and hosting services. Despite the uncertainties in our revenue patterns, our operating expenses are based upon anticipated revenue levels and such expenses are incurred on an approximately rateable basis throughout the quarter. As a result, if expected revenues are delayed or otherwise not realized in a quarter for any reason, our business, operating results and financial condition would be adversely affected in a significant way.
If our common shares should become ineligible for continued quotation on the OTC BB or a public trading market does not continue for any reason, holders of our common shares may have difficulty selling their shares. In April 2003 our common shares became ineligible for continued quotation on the NASDAQ SmallCap Market and are now trading on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board; therefore holders of our common shares will have difficulty selling their shares.
Our common shares may continue to be penny stock, which may adversely affect the liquidity of our common shares. The United States Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted regulations that define a penny stock to be any equity security that has a market price, as defined in those regulations, of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Our common shares are currently penny stock.
Commercial deployment: The ability of the Company to continue operations is also dependent on the acceptance of its security and identity management solutions and the adoption of transaction-based applications over wireless networks as an accepted method of commerce in sufficient volume for us to generate enough revenues to fund our expenses and capital requirements. The wireless mobile commerce market is in a very early stage and it may not develop to a sufficient level to support our business.
Dependence on key customers; concentration of credit: The loss of any key customer and our inability to replace revenues provided by a key customer may have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition. Our customer base includes large financial institutions and security providers. As a result, we maintain individually significant receivable balances due from them. If these customers fail to meet their payment obligations, our operating results and financial condition could be adversely affected. As of September 30, 2006, two customers accounted for 51% and 10% of our total revenue.
Foreign exchange: Our functional currency is the U.S. dollar. Sales generated outside Canada are generally denominated in U.S. dollars. During the nine months ended September 30, 2006, we incurred a portion of our expenses in U.S. dollars, and in 2005, we also incurred a portion of our expenses in other currencies including Canadian dollars, Pound Sterling and Hong Kong dollars. Changes in the value of these currencies relative to the U.S. dollar may result in currency losses that may have an adverse effect on our operating results. With the completion of our financing in September 2006, we have a portion of our cash resources in U.S. dollars and in Canadian dollars. During 2006 and fiscal 2005 we maintained a portion of our cash resources in both U.S. and Canadian dollar term deposits.
Litigation: Our Company has been named as a defendant in various proceedings arising in the course of our Company’s activities and arising from transactions relating to a previous business operated by our Company. Litigation arising from these matters may be time consuming, distracting and expensive. An adverse resolution to any of these proceedings may have a material adverse impact on our business and financial condition.
