1 NIGHTINGALE REPORTS FISCAL 2014 RESULTS Markham, ON, July 31, 2014 Nightingale Informatix Corporation ( Nightingale or the Company ) (TSX-V: NGH), an application service provider (ASP) of electronic health record (EHR) software and related services, announces its financial results for the three months and year ended March 31, Q4 Fiscal 2014 Financial and Operational Summary Revenue was $4.0 million, down 24% compared to $5.2 million in Q4 F2013, and up 4% from $3.8M in Q3 F2014. The variance from F2013 primarily reflects a decrease in software license revenues from enterprise contracts as well as a decrease in professional services revenues. Gross profit was $3.6 million, or 90% of revenue, compared to $4.7 million, or 91% of revenue, in Q4 F2013 and $3.4 million, or 88% of revenue, in Q3 F2014. Operating Expenses, excluding stock based compensation, depreciation and amortization costs were $3.2 million compared to $4.3 million in Q4 F2013 and $3.2 million in Q3 F2014. Adjusted EBITDA 1 was $0.4 million, 10% of revenue, down from $1.0 million or 20% of revenue in Q4 F2013 and up from $0.1 million or 4% of revenue in Q3 F2014. Net loss was $0.6 million compared to net income of $0.9 million in Q4 F2013 and net loss of $1.4 million in Q3 F2014. Cash provided by operations was $1.5 million compared to cash used by operations of $0.7 million in Q4 F2013. Total deferred revenue was $4.8 million down from $5.9 million at March 31, Fiscal 2014 Financial and Operational Summary Revenue was $15.3 million, down 27% compared to $20.9 million from F2013, primarily reflecting a decrease in software license revenues from enterprise contracts. Gross profit was $13.5 million, or 88% of revenue, compared to $18.6 million, or 89% of revenue for F2013. Operating Expenses, excluding stock based compensation, depreciation and amortization costs were $12.6 million compared to $15.5 million for F2013. Adjusted EBITDA 1 was $0.9 million, or 6% of revenue, down from $3.7 million, or 18% of revenue for F2013. Net loss was $3.0 million compared to net income of $2.0 million for F2013. Cash provided by operations was $0.9 million compared to cash used in operations of $1.7 million in F2013. This past fiscal year was effectively a transitional year for the Company, reflecting the large investment in our next generation product, the negative impact the product delays had on our perpetual licence revenues and the shift to a SaaS based sales model for the SMB space, said Sam Chebib, President and

2 CEO. We are at the tail end of this transition, and with the bulk of the investment in Nightingale EHR ( Nexia ) behind us, we will be reducing our spending on research and development. Nexia will be initially sold in the US and Ontario market, and in other Canadian provinces later in the year. Going forward we will be focusing our energy on sales and marketing as we are very optimistic about the impact Nexia will have on our market position and consequently, our ability to drive incremental recurring revenues and increase the predictability of our business model. Fiscal 2014 Fourth Quarter and Annual Financial Review The Company s results are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and in Canadian dollars unless otherwise stated. Revenue for Q4 F2014 was $4.0 million, a decrease of $1.2 million from $5.2 million for Q4 F2013. F2014 revenue was $15.3 million compared to $20.9 million for F2013. These decreases are primarily associated with a decrease in software revenues from enterprise contracts (which can vary significantly from quarter to quarter) as well as a decrease in revenues from professional services. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in recurring revenues from the Company s Nightingale On Demand EHR. Recurring Revenue 2 for Q4 F2014 was $2.8 million (70% of revenue), an increase of $0.2 million, or 8%, from $2.6 million (50% of revenue) in Q4 F2013. Recurring revenue for F2014 was $11.0 million (72% of revenue), an increase of $0.4 million, or 4% from $10.6 million (51% of revenue) for F2013. The increase in Recurring Revenue in Q4 was primarily the result of an increase in revenues from the Company s Nightingale On Demand EHR product which was partially offset by a decrease in revenue from the Company s low-margin transcription business. In the YTD period, decreases in revenues from the Company s low-margin transcription business and a decrease in transaction based revenues on the Company s US based product lines offset the increase in recurring revenues from the Company s EHR product. For Q4 F2014, gross margin was 90% ($3.6 million gross profit) compared to 91% ($4.7 million gross profit) for Q4 F2013. For F2014, gross margin was 88% ($13.5 million) compared to 89% ($18.6 million) for F2013. Operating expenses for Q4 F2014 decreased 26% to $3.2 million (79% of revenue), excluding charges for stock based compensation and depreciation and amortization, compared to operating expenses of $4.3 million (83% of revenue), excluding charges for stock based compensation and depreciation and amortization, for Q4 F2013. Operating expenses for F2014 decreased 19% to $12.6 million (82% of revenue), excluding charges for stock based compensation and depreciation and amortization, compared to operating expenses of $15.5 million (74% of revenue), excluding charges for stock based compensation and depreciation and amortization, for F2013. For Q4 F2014, Adjusted EBITDA was $0.4 million (10% of revenue), compared to $1.0 million (20% of revenue) in Q4 F2013. For F2014, Adjusted EBITDA was $0.9 million (6% of revenue), compared to $3.7 million (18% of revenue) for F2013. The impact of fluctuations in the rate of exchange between the US Dollar and Canadian Dollar on Q4 F2014 EBITDA were negligible. The $0.5 million loss from foreign currency in F2014 is predominantly the result of the re-measurement of the Company s term loans (denominated in US Dollars) into Canadian Dollars.

3 Included in net loss for F2014 is a financial loss of $0.7 million. The financial loss is predominantly related to the write off of a portion of the financial derivative asset that is embedded in the Company s Series B convertible debentures. The Company wrote off a significant portion of the financial asset in Q3 F2014 when a substantial number of debenture holders (85%) converted their investment to common shares or transferred their investment to the Company s Series C convertible debentures. For Q4 F2014, net loss was $0.6 million compared to net income of $0.9 million in Q4 F2013. For F2014, net loss was $3.0 million compared to net income of $2.0 million for F2013. Cash and cash equivalents on March 31, 2014 were $0.5 million, a decrease of $3.0 million, or 85%, from March 31, 2013, of which $3.5 million was for product development costs related to the Company s long-term strategic growth initiatives. At March 31, 2014, total common shares issued and outstanding were 94,758,915.

Adjusted EBITDA Adjusted EBITDA is a non-ifrs measure that management believes is a useful measurement to evaluate the performance of the Company. Investors should be cautioned, however, that Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an alternative to net earnings as determined in accordance with IFRS. The Company's method of calculating Adjusted EBITDA may differ from the methods used by other companies and, accordingly, it may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before other loss (income), interest, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation, and business acquisition, integration and other costs. Management believes it is useful to exclude these items as they are either non-cash expenses, items that cannot be influenced by management in the short term, or items that do not impact core operating performance, and Management uses this information internally for forecasting and budgeting purposes.

Investors should be cautioned, however, that recurring revenue and non-recurring revenue should not be construed as an alternative to revenue as determined in accordance with IFRS. Recurring Revenue is comprised of utilization fees, hosting, support and maintenance revenue, data management and transcription services and transactional fees. Non-Recurring Revenue is comprised of revenues generated from sales of perpetual software and systems licenses and related training, data conversion and installation services.
