Route1 Inc. (TSX VENTURE:ROI) ("Route1" or the "Company"), a digital security
and identity management company, today announced its financial results for the
three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2012.


Operating results for the three and nine month periods were positively affected
by the proceeds of an arbitration award which was received in January 2012. As a
result, for the three and nine month periods, $0.6 million and $1.8 million of
service revenue were respectively included in the Company's financial statement.


Q3 2012 Financial Results Summary

For the three month period ended September 30, 2012, total revenue increased to
more than $1.9 million from $1.4 million in the third quarter of 2011. Gross
profit increased during the quarter to $1.7 million or 88% of revenue, versus
gross profit of $1.1 million or 81% of revenue during the corresponding period
in the previous year. The improvement in gross profit is attributable to a
decrease in royalties paid on licenses, and increasing sales of higher margin
services revenue as percentage of total sales. As a result, Route1's third
quarter 2012 total comprehensive net income increased to $0.2 million from a
loss of $0.6 million during the same period last year.


Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortization ("EBITDA") during
the three-month period amounted to $0.5 million compared to an EBITDA loss of
$36,000 in the third quarter of 2011.


During the third quarter of 2012, the Company incurred a special charge in the
amount of $69,820 related to engaging a U.S. based investment bank as financial
advisor to identify potential partners to accelerate Route1's strategic business
plan. 


As at September 30, 2012, Route1 had no bank debt and a cash balance of $1.4
million.

Product Development Progress

On September 25, 2012 Route1 announced that it had raised the bar for mobile
device management and enterprise security by introducing the world's first SMART
device, capable of running on both Mac OS X and Windows machines and devices -
the MobiKEY Classic 2 (the "MC2"). 


The MC2:



--  Is a smartcard embedded device that allows subscribers to remotely
    access their office computer, network and other digital resources from
    anywhere at any time; 
--  does not require any pre-installed software to work on a guest computer
    or other remote device; it is completely clientless and driverless; 
--  will never pull or transfer the data they require onto the remote
    computer, thereby completely mitigating any risk of cyber attack or
    potential security breach; and 
--  is the "something you have", while the password, which is verified
    against both the smartcard and the communications service delivery
    platform, is the "something you know". 



Recent Events

On November 13, 2012, Route1 announced it had received a purchase order from a
second component of the United States Department of Defense (the "Client"). The
purchase order for 1,950 MobiKEY users comprises 1,950 MobiKEY Fusion devices
and subscriptions, bringing this Client's MobiKEY paid, active user count and
MobiKEY Fusion device count to 2,000 as at December 1, 2012. This award covers
the service period December 1, 2012 to March 31, 2013. 


On November 20, 2012, Route1 announced that it has received a second purchase
order from the Client. The purchase order is for an additional 2,000 MobiKEY
Fusion devices and 4,000 MobiKEY subscriptions covering the service period April
1, 2013 to March 31, 2014. Route1 shipped the additional 2,000 MobiKEY Fusion
devices on November 21, 2012. The gross value of this award is approximately US
$2 million. 


Also on November 20, 2012, Route1 announced that it expects its European
Government client to reduce its subscriber base effective January 1, 2013.
Route1 expects that the annual gross revenue impact will be approximately CAD
$460,000. 


Outlook

Route1 continues to work on a diverse group of large enterprise and government
client opportunities which are expected to make a material contribution to
Route1's subscriber, revenue and earnings growth in 2013 and beyond.
