LOREX Announces Record Third Quarter 2012 Financial Results

LOREX Technology Inc. ("LOREX" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:LOX) announces
results(i) for the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2012. 


LOREX Technology is very pleased to announce record third quarter revenue and
EBITDA results as well as record revenue and profitability for the first nine
months ending June 30, 2012 of the current fiscal year. Revenue for the third
quarter grew by $4.7 million or 29% over the prior year to $21.2 million; and
the Company's EBITDA grew by $1.0 million over the prior year to $2.4 million.
For the current nine month period, revenue grew by $14.6 million or 33% over the
prior year to $58.7 million; and the Company's EBITDA grew by $2.7 million or
68% over the prior year to $6.6 million.


"We are extremely pleased with our continued record-setting achievements both
during this current quarter and over the first nine months of fiscal 2012,"
stated Reuben Klein, Chairman and CEO of LOREX Technology. "We were able to
continue to grow the business in spite of a slow economy and its associated
competitive business pressures. We were also able to overcome cost increases
that resulted from the worldwide hard disk drive shortage caused by the flooding
in Thailand. Our growth continues to come across all business areas, as both the
Lorex and Digimerge brands continue to gain in demand, awareness and market
share. Our year to date EBITDA as a percentage of revenue improved to 11.2% from
8.9% the prior year and I am proud to say that LOREX has achieved a 15th
straight quarter of profitability. Previously, we updated our projected revenue
guidance for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012 to be in the range of $74
million to $78 million, and LOREX expects to be in the upper end of this
guidance."


"Please be reminded when reading the financial information noted below that $0.6
million of a previously unrecognized loss carry-forward was available and
utilized in the prior year to reduce the tax expense," continued Mr. Klein. "The
result was tax expense for the first nine months of the prior year of $0.6
million, as compared to $2.0 million in the current year. The benefit of North
American loss carry-forwards that reduced tax expense in fiscal 2011 has been
fully utilized." 


Highlights of the three and nine month operating results are as follows:
