has also announced that, in comparison to the previous quarter ended May 31,
2013, its cost of sales have decreased by 12% and the operating expenses have
decreased by 24%. 


"The decline of overall revenues compared to the year prior reflects the
transformation of the company from a services oriented offering towards a
technology offering. Thus, in this quarter, the focus of our sales efforts has
mainly been oriented to sell our proprietary solution #esuite. While we shed
lower margin services, we are increasing the focus on higher margin technology
sales and believe our efforts will lead to a healthier sales mix and overall
growth. We believe this transformation is the right thing for the business and
for shareholders. We also experienced the end of a major contract at the end of
May 2013." said Paul Allard - CEO. 


Cost of sales includes a total of $91K in research and development expenses and
$114K in amortization of intangible assets. Operating expenses also includes
$92K expenses related to the acquisition of Sense Fab in June 2013.
