quarter and the purchase of the MobiKEY application software service by a second
component of the United States Department of Defense.

---------------------------------------------
The decrease in MobiKEY subscribers, between Q1 2014 and Q4 2013, is primarily
attributable to the loss of its European Government client's remaining users.
The loss of the account was first announced by Route1 on November 20, 2012 and
is due to budget cutbacks.
Business and Market Commentary
-- Route1 renewed its two largest accounts, both with the U.S. government,
between March 15, 2014 and April 30, 2014.
-- Route1 will realize revenue growth in "Revenue from Subscribers" and per
subscriber in Q2 2014 compared to Q1 2014 as a result of a stronger U.S.
dollar exchange rate at the time of renewing U.S. based accounts in late
Q1 and early Q2 2014.
-- Leveraging U.S. government reciprocity rules and the installed
accredited infrastructure, Route1 has a growing number of pilots with
new U.S. DoD prospect clients.
-- Route1 is actively working to have the MobiKEY technology added to the
U.S. Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) Approved Products List.
-- Continued business development focus on the Canadian Federal Government
and selective commercial enterprise opportunities.
-- The macro digital security environment is changing in a way that should
benefit Route1 as board and corporate executives of potential Enterprise
clients now face increased scrutiny over the loss of client or employee
data and their own intellectual property. We are in the midst of a sea
change with respect corporate accountability, specifically the C-Suite,
as evidenced by:
-- The departure of Target's CEO and CIO over the last 120 days after a
very public data breach affecting over 70 million customers was
announced in Q4 2013;
-- The U.S. District Court of New Jersey's affirmation on April 7, 2014
that the Federal Trade Commission could proceed with its USD $6.5
million lawsuit against Wyndham Worldwide Corp. after the company
experienced a data breach stemming from inadequate security
methodology, setting a precedent for federal litigation against
major organizations that fail to protect sensitive information; and
-- More than 60% of Internet services were affected by the Heartbleed
Bug that drew worldwide attention in April 2014. It is expected that
organizations will search for alternatives to browser-based mobile
access solutions and look to implement easy-to-use multifactor
authentication technologies.
-- Route1 will be releasing MobiKEY 4.4 releasing - audio support - in
early June 2014.
