EDMONTON, ALBERTA--(Marketwired - Oct. 27, 2016) - Trading of the stock of OneSoft Solutions Inc. (the "Company" or "OSS") (TSX VENTURE:OSS), a North American developer of cloud-based software solutions, was temporarily halted this morning pending clarification of certain information provided in our news release issued on October 26, 2016.
This clarification is in reference to the term "addressable revenue" that we published in our news release on October 26, 2016, which term is not a defined accounting term used in connection with IFRS accounting standards. Our definition of "addressable revenue" is the Total Addressable Market ("TAM"), also sometimes referred to as the Total Available Market, which is a term that is typically used to reference the revenue opportunity available for a software product or service. TAM helps to prioritize business opportunities by serving as a metric of the underlying revenue potential of a given market.
To provide more complete context for our use of these terms in the October 26, 2016 press release, we wish to clarify that the "total potential addressable revenue of approximately USD $168 million annually" and "more than USD $300 million annually" refer to Management's estimate for the TAM for all SaaS software products that provide functionality as envisioned that is equivalent to our intended Phase 1 CIM and subsequent Sprints 2 and 3 functionality, respectively.
We wish to clarify that the "USD $168 million" and "more than USD $300 million annually" are calculated in accordance with a SaaS business model based on 2.8 million miles of pipeline situated within the USA, with a SaaS fees structure based on $60 per mile per year for software functionality similar to the Company's Phase 1 CIM product, and between $90 and $120 per mile per year for functionality similar to the Company's additional Sprints 2 and 3 functionality. We believe that these pricing estimates are achievable, based on discussions we have had with early adopter and prospective customers and other industry followers. We believe the "addressable revenue" figures we have referenced constitute 100% of the potential revenue for all software vendors who may choose to provide software solutions similar to the Company's, within the USA. These revenue estimates were internal estimates of the Company, and while estimates of "addressable revenue" were considered, no costs and/or expenses of supplying those services or generating the "addressable revenue" were similarly estimated. We caution the reader that these numbers do not constitute future oriented financial information ("FOFI") for OneSoft, nor should the TAM be construed as a revenue projection of OneSoft.
