VANCOUVER, April 27, 2012 /CNW/ - Santa Rosa Resources Corp today announced its quarterly and annual results for the period ended December 31, 2011.

For the three months ended December 31, 2011, revenue totaled $810K, a 13% increase from $719K in the corresponding quarter in 2010.  This increase in revenue is from higher SaaS Revenue of $103K or 67%, offset by a decline in ISP revenue of $12K, or 2%.   The net loss for the quarter was $709K, a 13% increase from the $628K loss incurred in Q4 2010.  This increase is primarily due to higher debt financing charges, legal transaction costs, and product development personnel costs. David Roberts, President and CEO said "On March 30, 2012, the shareholders of Santa Rosa Resources Corp (formerly Monexa Technologies Corp) voted in favour of the sale of the operating subsidiary Monexa Services Inc.  Shareholders also approved the name change to Santa Rosa Resources Corp.  We are now seeking a new business to vend into the Company". Garth Albright, CFO said "Santa Rosa Resources Corp will operate on a reduced scale as the Board of Directors and management work to arrange a new business opportunity for the Company.  Following the sale of Monexa Services Inc, the debt, the accrued interest payable on the debt, the preferred shares and the accrued dividend payable to preferred shares have all been paid.   This has cleaned up the balance sheet to make the Company suitable for a new business". Achievements in 2011 (before the sale of Monexa Services Inc):  -- Revenues of $3.16M for the year ended December 31, 2011, represent a 2% decrease, or $74.5K, from the $3.23M recognized for the year ended December 31, 2010. -- Gross margin increased to 62% in the current year, as compared to 53% in 2010. -- Operating expenses increased by $69K to $3.2M in 2011 vs. $3.1M for 2010. This was primarily driven by increased expenditures on product development., legal costs in respect to the transaction which were offset by a decrease in marketing spending, -- Net loss of $1.68M increased by 2% over the previous year's net loss of $1.64M. Subsequent Events: At the Company's Annual General Meeting held on March 30, 2012 the Shareholders approved a special resolution and a separate ordinary resolution of disinterested shareholders approving a related party transaction involving the sale of all of the shares help in the capital of Monexa Services inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the company, pursuant to a share purchase agreement dated February 17, 2012.
