Prosys Comments Third Quarter Results
Friday May 9, 5:00 pm ET

MONTREAL, QUEBEC, CANADA--(MARKET WIRE)--May 9, 2008 -- Prosys-Tech Corporation ("Prosys" or the "Corporation")(CDNX:POZ.V - News), announces that, during the course of the third quarter, the sales of the Corporation were $9 million compared with $18 million in 2007, a decrease of $9 million. This decrease in sales is mainly due to a reduction in sales to various governmental departments.

Following this unexpected seasonal decrease, Prosys' management implemented an internal restructuring and cost cutting process. To that end, the Corporation proceeded with cutting approximately thirty jobs across Canada. These cuts will enable Prosys to save approximately $1,500,000 annually.

Furthermore, pursuant to what was announced on April 7, 2008, Prosys still intends, subject to regulatory approval to issue 8,333,333 common shares at a price of $0.24 per share in order to convert $2,000,000 of its $3,000,000 subordinated loan with the Business Development Bank of Canada into common shares of Prosys. This conversion will enable Prosys to save approximately $450,000 per year in interest fees.

Mr. Georges Hebert, President and Chief Executive Officer stated: "We have just finished a difficult quarter with lower government sales. However, the job cuts and the conversion of the subordinated loan with the BDC will enable the Corporation to be considerably closer to the break-even point and will ensure the Corporation's future."
