Revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 was lower compared to 2015, declining by $1,340,471 and $7,413,413 respectively.

EBITDA for the first six months of 2016 was $1,933,875, a decrease of $3,120,674 when compared to the prior year. This decline was primarily due to the same factors that impacted revenue.

Pricing pressure and workflow reductions continued in the second quarter of 2016. Visibility remains limited for this division's services for the remainder of 2016, and its customers remain cautious. To address these challenges, the Company is streamlining costs where appropriate, however, the Company is committed to certain service standards for its existing clients which management believes to be critical for fostering the Company's longer-term growth. As the Company better understands the economic outlook for the remainder of 2016 and the likely level of demand for its services, it will adjust its internal infrastructure accordingly.

The use of any of the words "could", "expect", "believe", "will", "projected", "estimated" and similar expressions and statements relating to matters that are not historical facts are intended to identify forward-looking information and are based on the Company's current belief or assumptions as to the outcome and timing of such future events.

Non-IFRS Measures

The Company uses International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"). EBITDAS is not a measure that has any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and is therefore referred to as a non-IFRS measure. This news release contains references to EBITDAS. This non-IFRS measure used by the Company may not be comparable to a similar measure used by other companies. Management believes that in addition to net income, EBITDAS is a useful supplemental measure as it provides an indication of the results generated by the Company's principal business activities prior to consideration of how those activities are financed or how the results are taxed. EBITDAS is calculated as net income excluding depreciation, amortization, interest, taxes and stock based compensation.
