1 Recurring Monitoring and Response - includes Alarm Response, Digital and Wireless Monitoring and Intelligent Perimeter Protection

2 Adjusted EBITDA - Net income + Income Tax + Depreciation / Amortization + Share Based Payments + Acquisition Costs

Co-CEOs George Rossolatos and Emmanuel Mounouchos announced Avante Logixx Inc.'s results for the year ended March 31, 2015 ("FY15"). During the year, the Company generated revenues of $10,026,343, an increase of 12.2% over the year ended March 31, 2014. Recurring revenues grew by approximately 30%, while non-recurring revenues grew by about 3% as compared to last year. Within recurring revenues, rapid response revenues grew by 12.5% while monitoring revenues (including video analytics) grew by 70%. In addition to organic growth, the acquisition of INTO also helped in the monitoring revenues' growth. The number of clients who subscribe for rapid alarm response increased by 13%. Revenues from new installations grew by 28%, primarily due to the inclusion of revenues from INTO. The Company has a significant pipeline of commercial and installation jobs, which could result in a favourable situation in the fiscal year 2016.

Overall gross profit of $3,880,221 or 39% was 8.5% higher than the $858,464 or 40.0% in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014. This was due to change in the revenue mix, with revenues from certain high margin services like International Security Travel Advisory Services ("ISTAS") decreasing as compared to the prior fiscal year.

Adjusted EBITDA for the year amounted to $1,218,725, or 12.2%, as compared to $1,483,864 or 16.6% for the prior fiscal year. This was due to: a) decrease in gross margin as a percentage of sales from 40.0% last year to 38.7% in FY15; b) planned increase in marketing and advertising expenditure of approximately $200,000; and c) one-time costs incurred in connection with the INTO and LVS acquisitions of approximately $153,000.

Net income before tax for the fiscal year amounted to $508,050, as compared to $2,779,453 for the prior fiscal year. In addition to the reasons expressed above in respect of Adjusted EBITDA, net income decreased primarily due to: a) income tax expense for FY15 of approximately $305,000 as compared to an income tax recovery of $1,387,000 in the prior fiscal year; and b) increase in depreciation of approximately $38,000 and amortization of $101,000 on intangible assets.

As announced following disclosure of the Company's previous quarter's results, cross-selling opportunities between Avante and INTO are gathering momentum. The INTO acquisition will be accretive in the first year of ownership, with synergies expected to materialize over the next year. Order backlog for security systems installations is growing, both in high-end residential and condo / commercial real estate sectors. "With the acquisition of LVS Inc. on April 1, 2015, there will be more opportunities for growth and integration as we continue to pursue our acquisition strategy," said Co-CEO George Rossolatos.

"Management has already integrated certain functions and processes of Avante and INTO. Salespeople and technicians are already cooperating and helping each other out in cross-selling as well as in executing sales", said Co-CEO Emmanuel Mounouchos.

Management is confident that growth in recurring and non-recurring revenues will continue this coming year, as will the identification of other opportunities for the acquisition program.

The Company's balance sheet is strong with over $3,000,000 of cash on hand after the LVS acquisition, which will facilitate the Company's pursuit of other acquisition opportunities. The Company is currently assessing several attractive acquisition opportunities, each of which the Company believes could be strategic and accretive to the extent acquired.

As announced on July 9, 2015, Avante will be hosting a conference call on Monday, July 13, 2015 to discuss the aforementioned quarterly results at 8:30am EST.
