"Our Q3 results demonstrate the strength and profitability of our core retail technology platform," said Mr. Tom Douramakos, President and CEO, GuestLogix. "We expect this to be a main growth driver for us going forward as we work to further expand our footprint in new geographic regions and other travel verticals."

"We made progress on the merchandising front in the third quarter, launching OnTouch® Box Office onboard a large international carrier," Mr. Douramakos added. "The program needs to gain further momentum before it has a material impact on our results, but the initial passenger response is encouraging. We are seeing average transactions in the range of $145 and $170. We have a promising merchandising deployment pipeline, with another 12 programs to go live. We expect to launch some in Q4, with the larger proportion now planned for fiscal 2012. Our Mobile Concierge and Destination Deals technology platforms, as well as the potential to integrate our retailing and merchandising platforms with other technologies, such as in-flight entertainment systems, represent additional growth opportunities for fiscal 2012."
