"We are pleased to report continuing improvement in the Company's financial performance.

"The Company continues to seek new business partners where we can sell our proprietary programs, as well as work with existing affinity partners on new business opportunities. Recently, we received Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce ("CIBC") approval to expand our existing programs into home décor, and from January, 2013 we expect to expand our new relationship with Canadian Tire Group ("CTG"). Finally, we are attempting to improve the retention of participating merchants in our programs by introducing new services that deliver additional value to merchants such as digital marketing platforms," said Mr. Ambrose.
