The Company initiated a global review of its activities in the first quarter with the objective aimed at better meeting the growth and profitability targets that it had established. A detailed analysis of its products, services and market will enable the Company to formulate a plan of action focusing on:

  - Upgrading the Mobicom product to respond better to customer
    expectations with respect to use and functionality.

  - Developing a Mobicom product with tiered services with price and
    functionality attuned to a broader range of prospective clients.

  - Focusing the R&D team's efforts over the next few months to meet the
    goals for upgrading the Mobicom product.

  - Developing a sales strategy to optimize the sales structure and to
    acquire tools needed to maximize Mobicom sales.

  - Reducing operating expenses. (In April 2008, the Company laid off
    employees, resulting in annual savings estimated to be more than
    $600,000. The Company will continue to review all activities to
    optimize costs).

The Company's financial position as at March 31, 2008 is healthy. Datacom had cash and cash equivalents of $4.59 million, compared to $6.12 million as at December 31, 2007.
