Selling and administrative expenses increased to $3.3 million in the first quarter compared with $3.2 million in the fourth quarter of FY'04 and $2.9 million recorded in the same quarter of the prior year.

The above resulted in positive operating earnings of $0.1 million for the first quarter, down from the $0.2 million recorded in the fourth quarter of FY'04 and down from the $0.7 million recorded in the first quarter of FY'04. Nonetheless, this marks the eighth consecutive quarter of positive operating earnings.

Amortization and interest for the first quarter was $0.5 million, no change from the fourth quarter of FY'04 but down from the $0.6 million recorded in the first quarter of FY'04. As a result, the net loss for the quarter was $0.3 million, no change from the net loss recorded in the fourth quarter of FY'04 but down from the net income of $0.1 million recorded in the same period in FY'04.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2005, OnX reported working capital of $1.6 million and a current ratio of 1.11:1 compared with working capital of $1.9 million and no change in its current ratio of 1.11:1 at the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004. Due to the timing of payments to suppliers and receipts from customers, OnX reported a use of its line of credit of $1.0 million at the end of Q1 compared with cash of $7.8 million at the end of Q4. OnX continues to have available an additional $5.0 million in its operating line of credit.

"It is not unusual for OnX's cash balance to fluctuate significantly during a quarter based on the need to finance large transactions from the Company's Hardware and Software line of business. As a result, we focus more on working capital and our current ratio which did not change significantly during the quarter", stated Daren Selfe C.A., CFO See Chief Financial Officer.  of OnX.
