OPERATING RESULTS

Revenue

Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2008 2007 % increase
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
EMS division $4,315,181 4,453,287 (3%)
EMR division 2,206,183 1,440,397 53%
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total revenue $6,521,364 5,893,684 11%
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Revenue increased by $627,680 in 2008 of which approximately $450,000
was attributable to the acquisition of Clinicvault in September 2008 and
to the full year impact of the acquisition of National Medical Solutions
Inc. in August 2007.

A key part of the Company's strategy is to build recurring revenues, and
these had reached approximately $4,800,000 on an annualized basis at
year-end, compared to $3,800,000 last year.

Operating expenses

Operating expenses in 2008 were $5,907,204 compared to $5,363,368 in
2007, an increase of 10%.

Operating expenses for the year ended
December 31, 2008 2007 % increase
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Service costs 3,112,410 2,878,409 8%
Selling and administrative expenses 2,794,794 2,484,959 12%
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total operating expenses $5,907,204 5,363,368 10%
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Service costs were $3,112,410 for 2008, an increase of 8% over last
year. Service costs were reduced by investments tax credits recoverable
of $247,000. Service costs before deducting the ITCs increased by
$481,000 compared to last year. The increase was the result of the
Clinicvault acquisition and additions to staff to support the growth of
the Company. Gross margin for 2008 was 52% compared to 51% last year.

Selling and administrative expenses were $2,794,794 for 2008, an increase
of 12% over last year. The acquisition of Clinicvault accounted for
approximately 40% of the increase and the remainder was the result of the
full year cost of salaries for employees hired during the previous year,
an increase in investor relations activity and higher legal and audit
costs associated with running a public company.

Net earnings

Net earnings for the year ended December 31, 2008 were $253,627 compared
to $212,555 for 2007. Although revenue grew by $628,000 during 2008,
expenses grew by slightly more before tax credits. Much of the increase
in expenses was to position the Company for future growth and management
expects that 2009 will see an increase in earnings based on acquisitions
made and organic growth of the Company's two divisions.

OUTLOOK FOR 2009

On January 19, 2009 QHR announced the acquisition of the financial
software division of Momentum Healthware, Inc. ("Momentum"), a privately
held Manitoba based company. The acquisition was effective January 15,
2009 and the purchase completed on January 27, 2009. The acquired
business was merged with the Company's HR division to form a new
Enterprise Management Software ("EMS") division. Management considers
that this acquisition gives QHR the opportunity to become a market leader
in providing a comprehensive enterprise management software solution to
the healthcare/social services market.

Management expects to achieve growth in revenues and earnings during
2009. Revenues are expected to exceed $10,000,000 based on the
acquisitions reviewed above and on an acceleration of activity in both of
the Company's divisions. The EMS division has a strengthening pipeline of
opportunities and the EMR division is in the final stages of
qualification as an approved vendor in both Saskatchewan and Manitoba.
Successful qualification in those provinces should enable the EMR
division to achieve revenue growth in the second half of 2009.

Growth of the Company's EMR division depends on the actions of provincial
governments and their funding policies. Delays in implementing funding
models in each province could restrict revenue growth. Also, sales in the
EMS division are subject to the long procurement processes of public
institutions and this could result in significant variations in quarterly
revenues, depending on when new sales are closed. Provided QHR meets its
targets for revenue growth, the profitability of the Company should
continue to improve because it has the capacity to add new revenues at
low marginal costs.
