The complete financial statements and MD&A can be found on the Company's SEDAR profile at www.sedar.com.

Financial Highlights for the Three Month Period Ended April 30, 2017 compared to the Three Month Period Ended April 30, 2016:

• Revenues increased 22% or $1.3 million to $7.2 million for the three month period ended April 30, 2017 from $5.9 million for the three month period ended April 30, 2016;

• Net income increased $145,000 to $625,000 for the three month period ended April 30, 2017 from $480,000 for the three month period ended April 30, 2016. The increase in net operating income and in net income is attributable to an increase in the number of customer transactions resulting from the addition of three new CXI branches as well as 63% growth in wholesale banknote transacting locations since April 30, 2016;
• During the three-month period ended April 30, 2017, transactional activity between the Company and its customers increased 57% to 212,000 transactions from 135,000 for the three month period ended April 30, 2016; and
• Since April 30, 2016, the Company has added 365 new wholesale banknote relationships representing 2,777 new transacting locations as well as three new branch locations.

Financial Highlights for the Six Month Period Ended April 30, 2017 compared to the Six Month Period Ended April 30, 2016:

• Revenues increased 16% or $1.9 million to $13.3 million for the six month period ended April 30, 2017 from $11.4 million for the six month period ended April 30, 2016;
• Net operating income decreased $340,000 to $1.7 million for the six month period ended April 30, 2017 from $2.1 million for the six month period ended April 30, 2016;
• Net income decreased $239,000 to $539,000 for the six month period ended April 30, 2017 from $778,000 for the six month period ended April 30, 2016. The decrease in net operating income and net income was primarily due to one-time executive replacement costs; one-time fees for the new wholly-owned subsidiary bank, Exchange Bank of Canada, related to membership in certain payments associations to support development of the payments business, and professional fees; and higher recurring expenses for compliance, sales, and shipping. Shipping fees are up due to a large increase in transaction volume; and
• During the six month period ended April 30, 2017, transactional activity between the Company and its customers increased 59% to 412,000 transactions from 259,000 for the six month period ended April 30, 2016.

Selected Financial Data

*Restatement made in Fiscal Year 2015 to correct the presentation of a gain on foreign exchange along with its corresponding income tax impact which was required to be presented under IFRS as other income. The foreign exchange gain was previously disclosed under comprehensive income with no corresponding tax provision. The restatement does not impact the Company's revenues, operating expenses, or net operating income.

Seasonality is reflected in the timing of when foreign currencies are in greater or lower demand. In a normal operating year there is seasonality to the Company's operations with higher revenues generated from March until September and lower revenues from October to February. This coincides with peak tourism seasons in North America when there are generally more travelers entering and leaving the United States and Canada.
