A struggling publicly traded Ottawa software firm that brought in less than $100,000 in sales last year reported zero revenues in the first three months of 2022 as its struggle to find a market fit continued.
In financial filings last week, Leonovus said it generated no new sales in the first quarter of 2022, compared with revenues of $78,000 in the first three months of 2021. The company posted a net loss of $643,000, up from $615,000 a year earlier.
The latest results come after Leonovus said it received a standing offer from the federal government in March to buy its technology – a move it hopes will resuscitate its flagging fortunes.

Leonovus’s solution distributes and encrypts clients’ stored data across numerous cloud servers rather than a single on-premise location. The company is now selling the platform – which has been rebranded from XVault to Torozo – on a monthly subscription basis.
Leonovus said in last week’s financial filings it landed three new customers for its software following its launch in late April – a law firm, an industrial contractor and a “large police force.”
The company added that it plans to boost its marketing budget for Torozo over the next few weeks.
