TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 04/26/12 -- Automated Benefits Corp. (the "Corporation") (TSX VENTURE:AUT), a software company dedicated to developing applications for the insurance industry in North America and Europe, today reported revenue increased by 36% to approximately $7.95 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011. This compares to revenues of approximately $5.85 million in FY 2010, which represents an increase of approximately $2.1 million.

The net loss for the year ended December 31, 2011 decreased by 64% to approximately $94,000 and represents a basic and fully diluted loss per share of approximately one-tenth of a cent.
