Business Review

The Company has made a number of major changes in its global Sales, Marketing, Business Development and other operating functions around the world. These changes were initiated in order to get closer to the end user and allow the Company to more quickly react to local needs and opportunities in the markets in which HaloSource operates. As a result of these changes, the Company successfully executed several new partnerships, launched new products, and revived partnerships with key players in certain markets.

HaloKlear (Environmental Water Remediation)

The HaloKlear business saw significant growth in 2012 (160%) driven largely by new partnerships with SIGSA (Latin America and Spain), RST (New Zealand and Australia) and Stormtec (Canada). Additionally, the Company continues to find new partners and new applications for its environmental water solutions in the United States. Innovation continues to be a factor as the Company remains focused on "green" technologies which, in many instances, are higher performing and more cost effective than existing applications.

In 2012, the Company signed four new supply agreements for HaloKlear products, including its first supply agreement related to treatment of municipal water in Malaysia. HaloSource expects more new partnerships in the near future and sees significant opportunities for growth in a variety of industries, including municipal water treatment, construction, oil and gas and mining, each of which produces significant amounts of water requiring remediation before recycling or returning it to the environment.

HaloPure® (Drinking Water Purification)

Water Purification revenues increased by 58% driven primarily by newly signed partnerships in China (Perfect), Brazil (Pentair) and India (Tupperware) as well as reinitiating growth with Eureka Forbes in India. 2012 also included a one-time fee related to a standstill agreement with a large multi-national corporation for exclusive rights to gravity-based water purification devices using HaloPure® technology in China.

SeaKlear (Recreational Water)

Revenues in the U.S. pool and spa industry, sold primarily under the SeaKlear® brand, were down 4%. The Company believes this is attributable primarily to inventory management initiatives with some of the Company's key distributors who are focused on optimising their inventory levels. Despite the challenges of an industry with marginal growth, the Company is very positive regarding its ability to gain market share through new product introductions and innovation, such as its Mighty Pods, launched in late 2012. Additionally, the Company is focused on driving deeper, more meaningful partnerships in the segment while focusing on consumer and end user needs and effectively building awareness for the SeaKlear brand and suite of offerings.

Outlook

The Company made significant progress in 2012 and successfully executed in a number of areas under its strategic initiatives, including the addition of several new global partners and the introduction of a new, innovative product in the SeaKlear segment. Additionally, the pipeline for growth continues to expand through new customers, new markets and new innovation as the Company is able to attract potential new users to its unique line-up of water technology products. The accomplishments achieved in 2012 are significant building blocks to sustained future growth. With these core partnerships and products in place, the Company expects to accelerate its growth trajectory in 2013.

HaloSource's CEO, Martin Coles, commented: "We are extremely pleased with our progress and internal execution against the core elements of our strategic plan; and most importantly the reception and application of our solutions from key business partners and end users.

Our innovative suite of water purification solutions clearly resonates with the market needs for greener solutions, increasing efficacy and lowering total cost of ownership, and simplicity in application/dosing. We are witnessing significant strengthening of demand for HaloSource powered solutions across all lines of our business and our growth trajectory is ramping sequentially both year-on-year and with each successive half yearly reporting cycle.

We are clearly gaining momentum behind innovation in our core technologies and the application of our scientific solutions in partnership with key industry players."
