  In this paper we refine the main result of a previous paper of the author
with Grimeland on derived invariants of surface algebras. We restrict to the
case where the surface is a torus with one boundary component and give an
easily computable derived invariant for such surface algebras. This result
permits to give answers to open questions on gentle algebras: it provides
examples of gentle algebras with the same AG-invariant (in the sense of
Avella-Alaminos and Geiss) that are not derived equivalent and gives a partial
positive answer to a conjecture due to Bobi\'nski and Malicki on gentle
$2$-cycles algebras.
