The Corporation generated revenues of $1,199,358 during the quarter ended April

The Corporation has historically reported on EBITDA, since management believes
its use provides more insight into the assessment of the Corporation's
performance. EBITDA is defined herein as earnings before income tax benefit
(expense), interest income (expense), depreciation and amortization and non-cash
stock-based compensation expense. EBITDA does not have any standardized meaning
prescribed by IFRS and therefore may not conform to the definition used by other
companies. EBITDA for the quarter ended April 30, 2012 was $93,919, as compared
to negative $219,326 in the corresponding quarter ended April 30, 2011. For the
nine month period ended April 30, 2012, the Corporation generated EBITDA of
$339,903 as compared to negative $547,416 in the corresponding period ended
April 30, 2011. 


The Corporation generated a net profit of $19,158 or $0.001 per share during the
quarter ended April 30, 2012, as compared to a net loss of $306,499 or $0.026
per share for the quarter ended April 30, 2011. The profit is attributed to an
increase in sales of the ActiveMine(TM) product, combined with increased product
margins while obtaining a significant decrease in operating expenses for the
quarter.


For the nine month period ended April 30, 2012, the Corporation generated a net
profit of $115,225, as compared to a net loss of $1,065,376 for the
corresponding period ended April 30, 2011. 


Priorities for the business in fiscal 2012 continue to include new PowerCart
opportunities, geographic expansion into new mine markets, a continued focus on
product development initiatives, with the objective of reducing product and
operational costs. Active is pleased with its continuing trend of generating
positive cash flow and operating results and expects this trend to continue
throughout fiscal 2012.
