"Last year we integrated the two businesses acquired in 2004 and launched our services on the GSM platform. Although we were confronted with several unforeseen challenges during the year, we expect a very strong first quarter of unit shipments which will demonstrate that the challenges are behind us now."

With strength in all market sectors, AirIQ expects to deliver approximately 30,000 units in the first quarter of 2006, a record for the company.

"In the past year we surpassed 200,000 subscribers, a significant milestone and ensured our technical platform continues to deliver a competitive advantage," Mr. Simmonds continued.

 accounts. These actions were taken after repeated attempts to resolve the overdue accounts. This unusual churn resulted in lower than expected net active subscriber additions in the quarter. The Company does not expect churn levels experienced in the fourth quarter to continue in 2006.

Revenue Increased

Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2005, increased 83.9 per cent to $40.0 million from $21.8 million in 2004. The increase in revenues resulted from subscriber additions and the integration of the Aircept and Boatracs businesses acquired in 2004. For the three months ended December 31, 2005, revenues increased by 10.1 per cent to $10.0 million from $9.0 million for same period last year and decreased by approximately $300,000 from the previous three months ended September September: see month.  30, 2005, largely due to the strengthening Canadian-U.S. dollar exchange rate and competitive pricing of hardware units.

Gross Profit Improved

Gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2005, was $14.8 million, an increase of 69.3 per cent compared to gross profit of $8.7 million for 2004. Excluding the write-down Write-Down

Notes:

 of inventory due to technology change, gross profit for the year was $16.9 million. For the three months ended December 31, 2005, gross profit was $4.2 million (before inventory write-down), a decrease of approximately $185,000 from the previous three months ended September 30, 2005. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue for the fourth quarter of 2005 was 42.1 per cent (before inventory write-down), compared to 42.6 per cent for the three months ended September 30, 2005.

Expenses

Expenses for the year ended December 31, 2005, totaled $22.6 million, compared to $15.8 million for 2004. The increase is primarily due to a full year's operational costs generated by the integrated Aircept and Boatracs businesses. In the fourth quarter of 2005, expenses were $6.9 million or 68.9 per cent of revenue, compared to $5.8 million or 64.6 per cent of revenue in the same period last year, reflecting an increase in bad debt provisions and professional fees related to legal activities regarding a potential acquisition and a new financing that did not have sufficient merit to proceed.

The Company announced in January 2006, that it has made a workforce reduction of approximately 13% which is planned to reduce operating expenses Operating expenses

 by approximately $2 million on an annualized basis.

Net Loss per Share

The net loss for the year ended December 31, 2005, was $13.1 million, or $0.11 per share, compared with a net loss of $11.3 million or $0.13 per share for 2004. For the three months ended, December 31, 2005, net loss was $5.7 million or $0.05 per share, compared to a net loss of $3.8 million or $0.03 per share for the same period last year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As at December 31, 2005, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $1.4 million and negative adjusted working capital of approximately $7.9 million. Amounts owing under the bank financing and the earn-out commitment are included in the calculation of working capital. The working capital position will be improved through the closing of the recently announced financings.

On March 24, 2006, the Company announced that it had entered into a commitment agreement with Paradigm Capital pursuant to which Paradigm Capital agreed to purchase on a bought deal private placement basis 26,545,455 special warrants for gross proceeds of $5,309,091. The proceeds of this financing are to be used to satisfy the earn-out commitment. In addition, on the same day the Company announced that it had entered into an agreement in principle for a $4 million five year term loan with certain existing shareholders. The proceeds of this financing are to be used to reduce the amount outstanding on the bank financing. Both financings are expected to close on or about April 4, 2006.

The Company expects the bank financing will be amended a·mend
