Operating results for the three and nine month period ended September 30, 2012
were positively affected by the proceeds of an arbitration award which was
received in January 2012. For additional information, please see Route1's
September 30, 2013 Financial Statements and Management's Discussion & Analysis.


Q3 2013 Financial Results Summary

For the three month period ended September 30, 2013, total revenue decreased to
$1.5 million from $1.9 million in the third quarter of 2012. The decrease was a
result of recognizing $0.6 million of services revenue from the arbitration
award during the third quarter of 2012.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------



Gross profit decreased during the third quarter to $1.1 million compared from
$1.7 million during the same period in the prior year. The decrease in gross
profit is attributable to $0.6 million recognized from the arbitration award in
the prior year and a $0.1 million write down of MobiKEY Classic devices in the
current quarter.


Operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2013 were $1.15
million compared to $1.24 million for the same period in 2012. The decrease was
primarily a result of a decrease in general administration expense. Professional
fees decreased by approximately $0.1 million for the three months ended
September 30, 2013 as compared to the same period in 2012, as a result of
reducing outsourced human resource and investor relations activities.


As a result, Route1's third quarter 2013 total comprehensive net loss was $0.06
million compared to total comprehensive net income of $0.16 million during the
same period in the prior year. Adjusted earnings before interest, income taxes,
depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, restructuring and other
costs (Adjusted EBITDA) during the three-month period amounted to $22,000
compared to an Adjusted EBITDA of $0.5 million in the third quarter of 2012.


As at September 30, 2013, Route1 had no bank debt and a cash balance of $1.4
million.

Year-to-date 2013 Financial Results Summary

For the nine month period ended September 30, 2013, total revenue decreased to
$3.9 million from $6.8 million in the first nine months of 2012. Gross profit
also decreased for the nine month period ended September 30, 2013 to $3.1
million from $5.7 million during the same period in the prior year. The decrease
in total revenue and gross profit is primarily a result of the arbitration
award.


Operating expenses for the nine month ended September 30, 2013 were $3.3 million
compared to $3.5 million for the same period in 2012. The reduction in operating
expenses was driven by lower professional fees, an increase in the SR&ED tax
credit amount, and lower salaries and benefits costs.


As a result, Route1's year-to-date 2013 total comprehensive net loss was $0.3
million compared to total comprehensive net income of $1.6 million during the
same period in the prior year.
