DDS Wireless International Inc., a world leader in providing wireless data
solutions for fleet management for more than 20 years, today reported financial
results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and announced that the
Company's Board of Directors has approved a cash dividend on the Company's
common shares ("Shares"). All financial information is expressed in Canadian
("CDN") dollars and has been prepared in accordance with International Financial
Reporting Standards ("IFRS"), except as otherwise noted.


"The second quarter of fiscal 2012 showed marked improvement from the first
quarter of 2012 in terms of revenue and profitability with revenues of $10.6
million and net income of $0.2 million," stated Vari Ghai, CEO of DDS Wireless. 


"Slower demand in Europe continues to characterize sales in the Taxi business
unit, with enterprise solutions revenues lower than that of 2011. However, our
Transit business unit shows growth due to the significant contracts we signed
with MTA New York City Transit ("NYC Transit") late last year and increasing
sales of MDT's through our partners from a rising adoption of our hardware in
the transit market," continued Mr. Ghai.


(1) Non-IFRS measure. Defined as earnings before interest, taxes, amortization
and share-based compensation. Please refer to the reconciliation of reported
financial results to Non-IFRS measures attached to this press release.


"We remain particularly pleased with the continued growth in subscriptions for
our SaaS offerings to the North American small and mid-size taxi, limousine and
work fleets, both currently underserved markets. TaxiBook(TM) subscriptions in
North America continued to increase apace with growth of 54% in the year to
date. eFleet, our SaaS offering to the limousine and work fleet markets, also
met a milestone of 1,000 subscriptions."


Second Quarter 2012 Financial Results

Revenue declined 5% or $0.6 million compared to the three months ended June 30,
2011 and increased by 22% compared to the immediately preceding quarter.
Revenues are lower compared to the same period last year due to lower revenues
from the Taxi business unit (a decrease of $1.8 million), arising from declines
in European enterprise solutions revenue, offset in part by growth through the
unit's TaxiBook(TM) subscriptions. The Transit unit experienced an increase of
$1.0 million in revenue from its continued activities under its NYC Transit
project and through the additional sale of mobile data terminals ("MDT") to our
partners.


The increase in revenue from the immediately preceding quarter of $1.8 million
was the result of $0.8 million from higher TaxiBook(TM) and eFleet subscriptions
(including the related MDT sales), some increases in Taxi and Transit enterprise
solutions delivery and the above noted increase in the sale of MDT units in the
Transit unit ($0.4 million). 


Gross margin decreased by $1.1 million or 20% to $4.1 million from the same
quarter last year due to a combination of both lower revenues and lower average
margins earned on enterprise solutions projects in both the Transit and Taxi
business units. The gross margin yield in the quarter was 39% compared to 46% in
the same quarter last year and 38% in the immediately preceding quarter.


The decrease in the gross margin of $1.1 million, offset by combined favourable
variances of $0.8 million in operating expenses and tax recoveries in the
period, led to a decrease in net income of $0.3 million compared to the same
period in the prior year. EBITDAS(1) was $0.7 million or 6% of revenue and net
income was $0.2 million or $0.01 per share.


Year-to-Date 2012 Financial Results

Revenue declined 7% or $1.5 million compared to the six months ended June 30,
2011 arising from lower revenues from the Taxi business unit of $2.6 million; a
result of declines in enterprise solutions, offset by growth in its worldwide
TaxiBook(TM) sales and transaction based revenues. The decline in Taxi revenues
was offset, in part, by increases in Transit revenue (through increases in
enterprise solutions and MDT sales) and New Markets. 


Gross margin decreased by $2.1 million or 22% to $7.5 million from the same
period last year due to a combination of both lower revenues and lower average
margins earned on enterprise solutions projects in both the Transit and Taxi
business units, resulting from changing sales mix as well as the NYC Transit
project continuing to be in a lower margin phase of the project. 


The decrease in the gross margin of $2.1 million, offset by combined favourable
variances in operating expenses, foreign exchange and tax recoveries in the
period, led to a decrease in net income of $0.6 million compared to the same
period in the prior year. EBITDAS(1) was $0.3 million or 2% of revenue and net
loss was $0.3 million or $0.02 per share.


(1) Non-IFRS measure. Defined as earnings before interest, taxes, amortization
and share-based compensation. Please refer to the reconciliation of reported
financial results to Non-IFRS measures attached to this press release.


Outlook

In 2011 Taxi experienced strong growth in Europe arising from the upgrade cycle
of our existing customers. There is now uncertainty in that market given the
general economic conditions. The timing of deal flow and foreign exchange trends
together with the production scheduling issues of the first quarter have given
rise to a slow first half of the year. We are maintaining our guidance of 2012
annual revenues to be at least that of 2011. However, this estimate necessarily
incorporates assumptions around currency rates (particularly in our case the US
dollar & Euro), general economic conditions and the timing and delivery of
certain contracts.


Dividend

The cash dividend, in the amount of $0.02 per Share, will be paid on or about
October 15, 2012 to holders of record of Shares as of the close of business on
September 28, 2012. The Company expects to declare dividends on its Shares
quarterly; however, the declaration of any future dividends, as well as the
distribution date and amount of any future dividends, will be determined by the
Board of Directors of the Company immediately prior to each such declaration.
Unless the Company indicates otherwise, the Company's dividends are designated
as eligible dividends for the purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada).


Conference Call

The Company will host a conference call at 4:30 pm Eastern Time today to discuss
the financial results. Please call 416-340-2216 / 866-226-1792 to participate in
the call. A replay of this conference call will be available through August 24,
2012 by dialing 905-694-9451 / 800-408-3053 and entering access code 9491576.


Non-IFRS Measures

The following and preceding discussion of financial results includes reference
to EBITDAS and Adjusted Gross Margin. EBITDAS is a non-IFRS financial measure
which the Company defines as Earnings before interest, taxes, amortization and
share-based compensation expenses. The measure is provided as a proxy for the
cash earnings of the business as net income for the Company includes a
significant amount of non-cash amortization expense primarily related to
acquisitions completed in prior years. Adjusted Gross Margin excludes
amortization expense and share-based compensation expenses. The measure is
provided as gross margin includes significant amortization expense related to
acquired intangibles which management believes may affect the comparability of
gross margin. Please refer to the table attached to this press release for a
reconciliation of non-IFRS measures to reported financial results.
