Zim Corporation announces first quarter 2009 financial results

    OTTAWA, Aug. 18 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ - ZIM Corporation (OTCBB:
 ZIMCF), a provider of software products and services for the database,
 mobile and IPTV markets; today announced its results for the quarter ended
 June 30, 2008. All figures presented are calculated in accordance with
 generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States and
 presented in US dollars.
 
     Revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 was $439,330, a decrease
 from $538,027 for the same period last year. As previously announced, ZIM's
 decrease in revenue is primarily attributable to the decline in revenue
 from our Mobile segment.
 
     Net loss for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 was $35,411 or a basic and
 diluted loss per share of $NIL. The net loss for the same period last year
 was $97,397 or a basic and diluted loss per share of $0.001. The decrease
 in net loss is a reflection of the Company's reduction in selling and
 general administrative expenses, increased gross margins and an increase in
 revenue from maintenance and consulting services related to our database
 products.
 
     ZIM had cash of $401,525 at June 30, 2008 as compared to cash of
 $299,943 as at March 31, 2008 with no other outstanding debt.
