"During the quarter the Canadian dollar relative to the US dollar strengthened from an average of $1.10 in the third quarter of this year to an average of $1.04 in the fourth quarter of this year", said Carl Smith, NUVO's Chief Financial Officer.

Despite the total negative impact sequentially of $148,000, we maintained profitable operations and have now recorded seven consecutive quarters of net income."
