  GUELPH, ONTARIO, May 27 (MARKET WIRE) -- 
Texada Software Inc. ("Texada") (TSX VENTURE: TXS), the premier provider
of equipment rental and mobile asset management software, announces today
its unaudited interim financial results for the three months ended March
31, 2009.

    For the quarter ended March 31, 2009, the Company generated total
revenues of $1.19 Ml. and a net income of $0.03 Ml. Adjusted EBITDA
(defined as income (loss) for the period adjusted for amortization,
accretion on convertible debt, interest expense, foreign exchange losses,
severance payments, stock based compensation expense, lease closure
expenses and gain on sale of asset) was $0.10 Ml. These results compare
to total revenues of $1.34 Ml., a net loss of $0.07 Ml. and an Adjusted
EBITDA of $0.19 Ml. in 2008. 

    Revenue for 2009 was 11.5% lower than revenue recorded in the first
quarter of 2008 reflecting a reduction in the sale of new licenses in the
quarter compared to 2008. Operating expenses declined by more than $0.17
Ml. during the quarter. A reduction in interest expense and accretion on
convertible debentures of some $0.57 Ml. in 2009 offset by a gain on sale
of a domain name realized in 2008 of $0.40 Ml. resulted in an overall
decline in non-operating expenses of $0.19 Ml. in the quarter compared to
Q1 2008. 

    The three month period ended March 31, 2009 was the first full quarter
for Texada's new senior management team, led by President & Chief
Executive Officer Brian Spilak. During the quarter, management completed
a detailed review of the Company's entire business model, spent
considerable time reconnecting with key customers and focused on expense
and cash management.

    "We are pleased with our financial results for Q1 2009", noted Brian
Spilak. "In what we expect to be a challenging year, we are excited to be
able to get off with a positive start. We have completed our review of
the Company's operations and developed a sound plan for 2009. The Texada
team remains focused on Meeting and Exceeding Customer Expectations and
we will continue to devote substantial time on maintaining and enhancing
our key customer relationships for the balance of the year."

    The Company's financial results for the quarter are presented below:
