2012 SECOND QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS:


--  Revenue
    --  82% increase in direct leasing revenue from $562,000 in the second
        quarter of 2011 to $1,024,000 in the second quarter of 2012.
    --  31% increase in gross profit from $887,000 in the second quarter of
        2011 to $1,164,000 in the second quarter of 2012.
    --  114 net installations during the second quarter of 2012 at an
        average lease price of $4,250 per annum, representing an increase of
        approximately $500,000 of new recurring revenue per year.

--  Operating Costs
    --  24% increase in operating costs from $1,080,000 in the Q2-2011 to
        $1,342,000 in Q2-2012.
        These costs are explained by the significant increase in
        installations in Asia and the readjustment of operations to support
        growth. Economies of scale will be reached in the third quarter.

--  Cash Flow
    --  During the second quarter of 2012, our cash position decreased by
        $189,000 explained mostly by our negative EBITDA as well as the
        investments in leased equipment and licences for an amount of
        $140,000.

--  Product Installations
    --  As of May 31, 2012, a total of 1,193 products installed directly
        worldwide are currently running and another 337 installed by

          have standardized meaning under IFRS and are unlikely to be
          comparable to similar measures used by other companies.
