"At our AGM this year we outlined our strategy to focus on selling the software we developed and use to manage our managed services customers as a stand alone-hosted software solution," said Phil Weaver, NUVO's President and CEO. "We are pleased with the progress we have made to date and the traction and early acceptance in the market that MAXadvantage is gaining."

"MAXadvantage is an integrated suite of tools for monitoring, managing, reporting and analyzing an organizations network and systems," added Mr. Weaver. "During the quarter we expanded our marketing and sales programs for MAXadvantage and have received a lot of positive feedback and interest from our customers and potential customers. We believe the combination of a suite of tools that allows a customer the option to manage and maximize performance of their IT investments internally or outsource the management to us, sets Nuvo apart from other software only or managed services only providers."

"During the quarter the Canadian dollar relative to the US dollar strengthened from an average of $1.17 in the second quarter of this year to an average of $1.10," said Carl Smith, NUVO's Chief Financial Officer. "Sequentially, this had a negative impact on revenue of $160,000 and a positive impact on costs of $50,000. It also resulted in realized and unrealized foreign exchange losses of $78,000. Despite the total negative impact sequentially of $188,000, we maintained profitable operations and have now recorded six consecutive quarters of net income."
