Net Loss of $0.302 million, in the period, was down 73% compared to the same
first quarter period in 2008, in which the corporation's Net Loss was $1.105
million. These favourable results further reflect the strategic realignment
initiated by the corporation in 2008.


The Corporation increased its gross margin by 6.3 percentage points to 49.4% in
the first quarter in 2009, compared with 43.1% for the same period in 2008.
While revenues were down due to the closure of the analogue network and the halt
in sales of digital security products, the Corporation managed to increase its
gross margin with effective cost control measures.


The continued impact of the Corporation's realignment efforts in 2008 resulted
in significant reductions in expenses in 2009. The expenses of $1.158 million
where down 43.7% from the $2.055 million for the first quarter of 2008,. The
significant reduction in expenses as a percent of revenue from 93% in first
quarter 2008 to 67% in the same period 2009 reflects the organizations efforts
to better realign revenues and expenses.


As anticipated, sales of Datacom's consumer product Mobiguard were down 12.6%,
when the 2,457 units sold in 2009 are compared with the 2,812 units sold during
the first quarter of 2008.


Overall revenues were adversely affected by $0.469 million or 21% when compared
to the first quarter of 2008. This decrease is mostly due to the loss of
recurring analogue income and the loss of proceeds due to the halt in sales of
Mobilus and Vigil digital products. This decrease is consistent with
Management's forecasts. 


The total number of outstanding shares, as at March 31, 2009 is 27,951,121
