Results of Operations for the Three and Nine months ended June 30, 2011

Revenue

Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2011 decreased $34,989 or 3% to $1,024,998 compared with $1,059,987 in the same period last year. Revenue for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 decreased $343,528 or 10% to $3,267,105 compared with $3,610,633 in the same period last year. The decrease in revenue for both periods was due mainly to the stronger Canadian dollar, which negatively impacted revenue for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2011 by approximately $45,000 and $211,000, respectively.

Gross Margin

The gross margin for the three months ended June 30, 2011 increased $13,907 or 3% to $534,090 as compared with $520,183 in the same period last year. The gross margin for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 decreased $197,638 or 11% to $1,642,932 as compared with $1,840,570 in the same period last year. The decrease was due to the lower revenue and foreign exchange.

The gross margin as a percentage of revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2011 increased to 52% compared with 49% in the same period last year, while for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 it decreased to 50% compared with 51% in the same period last year. The changes in the current periods was due mainly to the amount of staffing costs being allocated to cost of sales based on the amount of project work.

General and administration

General and administration expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2011 decreased $2,930 or 1% to $375,761 compared with $378,691 in the same period last year. General and administration expenses for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 decreased $142,969 or 12% to $1,058,902 compared with $1,201,871 in the same period last year. The decrease is principally due to lower staff levels, lower head office rent and a recovery of building operating costs in the second quarter of 2011 of approximately $63,000.

Sales and marketing

Sales and marketing expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2011 increased $2,926 or 1% to $327,524 compared with $324,598 in the same period last year. Sales and marketing expenses for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 increased $93,877 or 12% to $903,497 compared with $809,620 in the same period last year. The increase in both periods is due primarily to the opening of the representative office in China for the new marketing initiatives in China.

Product development

Product development expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2011 increased $35,799 or 31% to $150,484 compared with $114,685 in the same period last year. Product development expenses for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 increased $64,850 or 17% to $447,669 compared with $382,819 in the same period last year. The increases in both periods is due to the development of the Epic Data MES suite of applications, including for the China market, and staffing costs being allocated to product development rather than to cost of sales as a result of less project work in the current periods compared to the same periods last year.

Net loss

Net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2011 increased $59,091 or 19% to $375,807 compared with $316,716 in the same period last year. Net loss for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 increased $195,307 or 26% to $962,652 compared with $767,345 in the same period last year.

Financing Activities

On August 8, 2011 the Company closed a non-brokered private placement of 6,000,000 common shares at $0.20 per share for gross proceeds of $1,200,000. The 6,000,000 common share issued are subject to a four month hold period expiring on December 9, 2011. The proceeds will be used to market the Company's manufacturing operations management software products, to fund product development and for general working capital purposes.

Grant of Stock Options

The Company announces that effective August 30, 2011 it has granted 150,000 stock options to an employee. The term of the options will be 7 years and the exercise price will be the greater of the closing price on August 29, 2011 or $0.10 per share.
