"The statements disclose the impact of transition to IFRS on the Company's reported financial positions, financial performance and cash flows", continued Mr. Gibbs, "in accordance with IFRS and the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB")."

Business Highlights for the Quarter:

During the period, the Company continued to focus on the key elements of its strategy to:

1.  Build revenues and manage costs to achieve sustained profitability and
    positive cash flow;
2.  Strengthen the balance sheet and achieve positive working capital;
3.  Economically resolve outstanding legal claims; and
4.  Continue to seek opportunities to form value creating strategic
    partnerships.

On April 12, 2011, the Company issued an aggregate of 8,707,374 common shares for $0.15 per share through a rights offering for gross proceeds of approximately $1,306. In addition, on May 31, 2011, the Company completed a private placement of 2,772,886 common shares at a price of $0.15 per share, for total consideration of $416.

Subsequent to the quarter end, on August 2, 2011, the Company repaid its outstanding loans to its lenders in the aggregate amount of $250, and is now free of all long term debt.

On August 16, 2011 the Company purchased the fleet assets of a Canadian technology company, which the Company now operates under the name "ResQ Fleet Services, a division of AirIQ Inc.". The purchase adds approximately 1,900 additional units to the Company's subscriber base and also provides the Company with a new software platform and increased sales capability.

In addition, on August 29, 2011 the Company was successful in obtaining an Order for Summary Judgement in respect of a claim filed against AirIQ in the District Court of Harris County, Texas, alleging damages as a result of the installation of a device in a vehicle owned by the plaintiff without their knowledge. Effective October 8, 2011, all claims against AirIQ in this matter will be dismissed with prejudice.

"The Company expects increased sales as a result of acquiring the ResQ Fleet Services software platform, as the system provides enhanced technical capabilities for both existing and new customers", stated Don Gibbs. "The acquisition, combined with the equity raises, debt repayment and legal claim dismissal are key steps towards the Company achieving its strategy as noted above", continued Mr. Gibbs, "and we will continue to focus on these key elements as the Company moves forward."
