The Company's second quarter fiscal 2010 revenue was $21.4 million, representing a decrease of 24% as compared to revenue of $28.3 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2009. On a year-to-date basis, the Company's revenue of $45.4 million declined by 19% as compared to revenue of $56.1 million in the first six months of fiscal 2009.

The Company recorded non-GAAP operating earnings of $43,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 2010, representing a decline of $957,000 relative to the non-GAAP operating earnings of $1.0 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2009. Non-GAAP operating earnings during the first six months of fiscal 2010 improved by $664,000 to $496,000 from the non-GAAP operating loss of $168,000 incurred in the first six months of fiscal 2009.

The Company incurred a net loss in the second quarter of fiscal 2010 of $1.0 million, or $0.06 per share, which is equivalent to the net loss incurred in the second quarter of fiscal 2009. Net loss for the six months ended October 31, 2009 improved by $2.0 million to $1.5 million or $0.09 per share as compared to the net loss of $3.5 million or $0.20 per share in the six months ended October 31, 2008.

"The fundamentals of the business are sound, as evidenced by improved gross margin and lower operating expenses, so we expect improved profitability once revenue levels recover," said Peter Strom, President and CEO of March Networks.

    Second Quarter 2010 Financial Highlights

    -   Operating expenses down 11% and 19% in the second quarter and first
        six months of fiscal 2010 respectively, as compared to the same
        periods in fiscal 2009.

    -   Generated over $6 million in operating cash flow in the second
        quarter of 2010 including a $3.4 million reduction in inventory.

    -   Cash and short-term investments improved to $51.0 million.

"The Company's lower operating cost structure has allowed the Company to stay on course for improved profitability in fiscal 2010 despite the decline in revenue," said Ken Taylor, CFO of March Networks.

    Certain statements included in this release constitute forward-looking
statements, including those identified by the expressions "anticipate",
"believe", "plan", "estimate", "expect", "intend" and similar expressions to
the extent they relate to the Company or its management. The forward-looking
statements are not historical facts but reflect the Company's current
assumptions and expectations regarding future results or events. These
forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties
that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from current
assumptions and expectations. Assumptions made in preparing the
forward-looking statements contained in this release include, but are not
limited to, the following:

    -   Under-stable economic conditions, the market for the Company's
        products will grow by greater than 10% annually.
    -   The Company will successfully reduce product costs to improve the
        Company's gross margin and/or avoid any margin erosion associated
        with competitive pricing pressure.
    -   The average fiscal 2010 exchange rates for US dollars and Euros to
        Canadian dollars will be US$1.00=CDN$1.10 and Euro 1(equal
        sign)CDN$1.60.
    -   The Company will develop and deliver new products on time in order to
        satisfy the demands of current and potential customers.
    -   The Company's new investments in certain international markets will
        contribute to near-term profitability.
    -   Annual operating expenses, excluding stock-based compensation and
        amortization of acquired intangibles, will approximate fiscal 2009
        levels.
    -   The Company will have adequate component supply to meet customer
        demand.
    -   The Company will continue to demonstrate its potential to generate
        sufficient profits in future fiscal years to realize the value of its
        future tax assets.

    Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from expected
results include, but are not limited to, the following:

    -   The Company's ability to forecast revenue and profitability is
        impaired by unexpected delays in closing large projects in its sales
        pipeline; increased pricing pressure; and instability in the global
        economic environment leading to higher potential for delay or
        cancellation of sales opportunities.
    -   Shifts in value of the Canadian dollar relative to billing
        currencies.
    -   Weaker than expected success versus competitors in new customer and
        vertical market opportunities and/or loss of existing customers to
        competitors.
    -   Delays in product development programs for new products and new
        product features which lead to cost overruns and /or missed customer
        opportunities.
    -   The Company may experience difficulty in developing the sales
        channels, technology partnerships and support infrastructure required
        to compete successfully in new vertical markets.
    -   Higher than targeted product costs and/or higher than expected
        declines in market pricing for the Company's products.
    -   Product issues that result in increased costs to the Company and/or
        lost revenue opportunities.
    -   Changes in the mix of revenues between fixed and mobile
        transportation solutions.
    -   The Company may have to write down the value of certain future tax
        assets if it is unable to demonstrate its ability to generate
        sufficient future profits to realize the value of these assets.

    Additional risks are discussed herein and under "Risk Factors" in the

"After evaluating a number of competitive offerings, it was clear that the March Networks solution delivers the reliability and robust video management we require to more effectively protect our operations," said Jairo Gonzalez, Director of Security, BCSC. "In addition, we expect to reduce losses significantly using March Networks' integrated video and ATM transaction data application."

Since entering the Colombian market three years ago, March Networks has quickly emerged as the country's preferred provider of financial surveillance solutions based on the strength of its enterprise-class products and industry-specific applications. Recognized for their proven reliability and scalability, the company's networked video management systems are currently used by many of Latin America's largest financial institutions, including top banks such as HSBC Mexico, Scotiabank Inverlat, Banorte, Banco de Chile and recently announced Banco de Occidente.

"Our extensive experience working with financial institutions worldwide has allowed us to evolve our IP video portfolio to address the specific requirements of this industry," said Peter Strom, President and CEO, March Networks. "ATM skimming alone, which costs banks billions of dollars each year, can be reduced significantly using our integrated video and data analytics. In addition, our VideoSphere(R) solutions allow customers to deploy our high-definition IP cameras and video analytics immediately as part of a strategic and cost-effective migration to advanced IP video networking."
