-Gatekeeper expands XFORCETM product line with new high definition body worn recorder and camera system for the global law enforcement market.

-Notable sales, implementation, expansions, during the quarter include: FLIR Systems, a world leader in the design, manufacture, and marketing of infrared sensor systems, began taking delivery of Viperfish(R) Digital Marine Recorders; completion of phase one installation of stop arm camera systems on Cook Illinois Corporation school buses in Chicago, Illinois; the State of North Carolina has approved Gatekeeper High Speed License Plate Reading System for State Funding Support for School Districts; and Mid Columbia Bus, one of the largest school bus contractors in the United States west coast, has approved Gatekeeper's solid state video systems.

"Our second quarter is traditionally our slowest revenue quarter each year, however this year in particular, a significant part of our customer base in the United States northeast and east coast regions have been hampered with extreme winter weather conditions. These conditions have led many school districts in the regions to delay previously planned new systems implementations", said Gatekeeper's President and Chief Executive Officer Doug Dyment. The Company continues to build its sales funnel with its core product lines, as well stop arm camera projects. Gatekeeper's stop arm camera technology received major press coverage through news features on ABC News Chicago, Illinois and Fox News Salt Lake City, Utah. Doug Dyment continues, "Gatekeeper's high speed license plate reading system is proving to provide reliable imaging and we are optimistic that the business model of using our Ticket Infraction Management software ("TIMS"), combined with license plate reading technology for the school bus market will be successful this year." During the quarter, Gatekeeper launched a new XFORCETM product line, PR-104, a high definition body worn recorder and camera system, for the law enforcement market. With Gatekeeper's wearable device, law enforcement will now have high definition video and audio capability for providing evidence from crime scenes, highway patrol or specific field operations. Gatekeeper estimates approximately 30 million law enforcement officers and security personal are active globally.

Summary of Financial Results and Information

Revenues

Revenues for the three and six month period ended February 28, 2014 were $515,000, and $2,089,000, respectively, compared to $830,000 and $1,618,000, respectively, during the same periods in fiscal 2013. Revenues during the second quarter of fiscal 2014 declined 28% as a result of extreme winter weather conditions throughout most regions of the United States forced school districts to shut down or operate with limited staff causing delays in a significant amount of sales activities. In addition, numerous orders were delayed because of timing of school district board meetings and project approval delays. Year-to-date revenues for the nine month period are 29% higher than the same period in fiscal 2013. The increasing trend is a direct result of the Company's sales force aggressively marketing and selling Gatekeeper's new G series products. The new features from the G series products, such as the intelligent wireless system, bundled with its solid state bus video and GPS technology, and the recording of high resolution video, while streaming live video, has been widely accepted by new and existing customers.

Gross Margins

Gross margins for the three and six month period ended February 28, 2014 was 44% and 43%, respectively, compared to 25% and 29%, respectively during the same periods in fiscal 2013. Higher gross margins are largely due to product sales mix, and managing of costs. The sale of the G series products have generally a higher margin compared to the Company's older GSX and NiTRO products. The cost of sales components are comprised of the cost of materials, labour and overhead, inventory obsolescence provisions and write-offs, warranty expense, transportation and other supply chain costs.

Operating Expenses

Sales and marketing expenses for the three and six months ended February 28, 2014 were $294,000 and $589,000,respectively, compared to $318,000 and $564,000, respectively, during the same periods in fiscal 2013. The overall 29% increase during six months ended February 28, 2014, compared to the same period in fiscal 2013, represents a greater number of sales staff as well as higher levels of business development and marketing activities for our new products. Sales and marketing expenses generally remained consistent between the first and second quarters of fiscal 2014. Management generally expects sales and marketing expenses to be approximately 20% of sales revenue. The higher percentage experienced during the second quarter is largely due to lower sales activities for the three months ended February 28, 2014.

R&D expenses increased 91% and 85% during the three and six months ended February 28, 2014 largely due to product commissioning costs of the Company's new wireless network system. R&D costs remain consistent quarter-on-quarter during fiscal 2014.
