(1) Adjusted earnings before income taxes, depreciation and amortization (" 
Adjusted EBITDA") is a non-GAAP financial measure. The reconciliation of    
Adjusted EBITDA to Net Income (Loss) is provided at the end of this release.

For the third quarter of fiscal 2013, total revenue was $7.1 million, down 2% from $7.3 million in the prior year. IDC Systems revenue declined 54%, while IDC Products revenue increased by 24%.

This increase in revenues from the IDC Products segment was driven by higher sales for our SuperFlex(TM) and STAR Pro Audio product lines resulting from large contracts in France and in Thailand. The decline in revenues from the IDC Systems segment was largely due to the completion of the first phase roll-out of the Direct-to-Home (DTH) Broadcasting project in Kenya in the first quarter of fiscal 2013.

IDC generated positive adjusted EBITDA of $782,000 during the current quarter, up from $59,000 from the comparable prior period. This improvement in EBITDA was largely due to lower operating expenses including a 19% reduction in Selling, General and Administration and a 32% decrease in Research and Development costs.

"IDC is actively reviewing and revising our global sales and distribution strategy," stated Del Lippert, Interim CEO and Chairman of the Board. "For example, our new Digital Tattoo(TM) offering is a prime DTH and IPTV product that is very relevant to emerging markets such as Asia and Africa. By reallocating and expanding key resources to meet the needs of Master Distributors and OEM customers in these target regions, we believe that we can directly enhance our market position and in turn stimulate the growth that our shareholders expect from IDC."

"We are pleased with the progress made in Q3 FY2013. Delivering solid revenue and margins combined with reduced operating costs translated to a net profit in the quarter and break-even for the first nine months of the fiscal year 2013," stated Rick Clements, Chief Financial Officer, IDC.

In this release, IDC has presented Adjusted EBITDA, which is a "non-GAAP financial measure" and accordingly it is not an earnings measure recognized by IFRS and does not carry standard prescribed significance. Moreover, IDC's method for calculating Adjusted EBITDA may differ from that used by other companies using the same designation. Accordingly, we caution readers that Adjusted EBITDA should not be substituted for determining net income (loss) as an indicator of operating results or as a substitution for cash flows from operating and investing activities.

We believe Adjusted EBITDA is a meaningful and useful financial metric to investors and analysts for measuring and predicting its operating performance by excluding income taxes, depreciation and amortization as well as unusual charges (shareholder dissent, and incremental external business acquisition costs), and restructuring.
