This license allows Eyelogic to continue to support its Canadian customer base. In accordance with Eyelogic's accounting policies, the Company will value the license granted by 20/20 Vision at fair market value and expects to record an intangible Intellectual Property asset in the third quarter financial statements.

Mark McDonald, President of Eyelogic Systems Inc. had this to say; "We're pleased to hand off the development reigns to 20/20 Vision. Acquiring our core technology will give 20/20 Vision the edge it needs to secure a distinct competitive advantage in the US and beyond. We're looking forward to focusing on serving our significant user base in Canada."

Kristoffer Moen, Chief Financial Officer of Eyelogic Systems Inc. commented; "The sale of assets to 20/20 Vision marks a significant milestone for Eyelogic. It has truly been a pleasure to work with our business partners at 20/20 Vision. I wish them all the best in their efforts to further develop the Eyelogic System."

Charles Scott, Chief Operating Officer of 20/20 Vision, noted, "We are delighted to enter into this transaction with Eyelogic. The Eyelogic Refraction Software is highly complementary to 20/20's current operations. We believe there will be opportunities for improvements from the further development and enhancements of the acquired technology. Through the Eyelogic acquisition there will be opportunities to expand our foot print and capabilities."

The valuations and accounting disclosures discussed in this press release have been developed by Eyelogic for presentation to its stakeholder groups and without input from 20/20 Vision. Consequently these valuations and accounting disclosures should not be relied upon by 20/20 Vision stakeholders.

Currency Fluctuations

All currency conversions have been conducted at 0.7493; the USD to CAD closing price on September 30, 2015. Until the deal is closed and funds received by Eyelogic, exchange rate fluctuations between US to Canadian dollars will have an impact on Eyelogic's financial statements. A 100 basis point strengthening of the Canadian dollar against the United States dollar will decrease cash consideration in Canadian dollars by $9,157. This analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular interest rates, remain constant (a 100 basis point weakening of the Canadian dollar against the United States dollar on deal close would have had the equal but opposite effect).
