Optimal Geomatics Inc. (TSX VENTURE:OPG) ("Optimal") announces its financial
results for the first fiscal quarter ending January 31, 2009. Except as
otherwise noted, financial information is reported in Canadian dollars.


Financial Results

Revenue for the first quarter ended January 31, 2009 was $3.4 million, a 7%
decrease compared to revenue of $3.7 million for the comparable period in 2008,
and a decrease of 15% when compared to the prior quarter. Gross margin for the
three month period ending January 31, 2009 was 23%, an increase as compared to
the gross margin of 22% for the comparable three month period in 2008. The
operating loss was $257 thousand for the first quarter of 2009 as compared to an
operating loss of $270 thousand for the comparable quarter of 2008. The net loss
for the quarter ended January 31, 2009 was $290 thousand or $(0.00) per common
share, compared with net loss of $45 thousand or $(0.00) per common share (basic
and diluted) for the three months ended January 31, 2008.


Gross margin for the three month period ending January 31, 2009 was 23%, a
modest increase from 22%, the gross margin for the comparable three month period
in 2008. The increase in gross margin was due to several factors including the
mix of contracts being performed and a decrease in indirect production costs.


The year-over-year increase in quarterly net loss was primarily due to the $257
thousand quarter-over-comparative-quarter reduction in the foreign exchange
gain.


As at January 31, 2009, Optimal had cash and cash equivalents of $1.7 million
with net working capital of $1.3 million, compared to cash and cash equivalents
of $1.6 million with net working capital of $1.4 million as at October 31, 2008.
The decrease in working capital was primarily due to the increase in all
categories of current assets and deferred revenue, partially offset by the
increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities, notes payable and the
current portion of lease obligations.


Subsequent Event

Subsequent to the quarter-end, the noteholder agreed to the deferral to April
30, 2009 of the US $500 thousand, plus interest, payment previously due February
28, 2009.
