Martyn Armstrong, CEO of Open EC States, "We are pleased with our overall Q3
Financial Results and in particular our strong growth of 716% in recurring
subscription revenue contribution from our HealthCare business, the improving
EBITDA measurement over Q2 2012, and reaching a quarterly record of 88% of Total
Revenue that was recurring. The Company's Software Licencing Revenue reductions
in the quarter are partly based on the increased focus on developing new
products, Recurring Revenue contracts, and channel revenue partners. With the
addition of several new HealthCare Software Partners, Billing Service customers,
and with the execution of several strategic partner projects, we expect to
continue to see strong growth in our recurring revenue business going forward.
We are continuing to see an increase in new business opportunities driven by the
US Government HealthCare reform mandate for industry adoption of the new HIPAA
5010 EDI Standards and ICD10 Medical Billing Coding standards. We are looking
forward to more positive financial results in the US HealthCare sector as we
continue to execute our aggressive business expansion strategy".

The reported net loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 was $276,097,
compared to $67,494 last year, an increase of 309%. The increase in loss was
primarily due to amortization of intangible assets and interest costs as a
result of financing the purchase of i-Plexus and increase in general and
administrative expenses.

$1,860,596 with an EBITDA of ($441,604) as compared with revenues of $652,320,
