EDMONTON, ALBERTA -- (Marketwire) -- 07/30/12 -- Wavefront Technology Solutions Inc. ("Wavefront" or the "Corporation") (TSX VENTURE: WEE) (OTCQX: WFTSF), a pioneer in fluid injection optimization for improved performance and profitability in the oil and environmental sectors, announces its financial results for the third quarter ending May 31, 2012.
Financial results include:
-- Revenues for the three months ended May 31, 2012 were up 28% to
$1,396,410, an increase of $306,737 over the comparative period in 2011;
-- Revenues attributed only to Powerwave were $1,025,096, an increase of
$358,044 (or 54%) from the comparative period ended May 31, 2011 of
$667,052; and,
-- For the three months ended May 31, 2012 Powerwave revenues related to
well workover and stimulations increased by 1,427% to $442,109 over the
comparative period in 2011.

The basic and diluted net and comprehensive loss for the three months ended May 31, 2012 increased by $606,034 to $1,533,505 (or $0.02 per share), compared to $927,471 (or $0.01 per share) in 2011. The increase in losses during the third quarter principally related to sales and marketing expenditures as well as research and development initiatives.
The above financial highlights should be read in conjunction with the unaudited consolidated financial statements and management discussion and analysis of results which have been filed on SEDAR.
The following key events occurred during and subsequent to the third quarter 2012. The Company believes these initiatives will bolster market opportunities related to Powerwave Enhanced Oil Recovery ("EOR") and well stimulation.
1. Wavefront received notice of allowance of a new Australian patent
related to the placement of fluids in the ground by pulse-injection.
2. The Company completed development of a Powerwave modular rotary pulsing
system known as the "Man-of-War" that is driven by a rotary topside
drive. The modular component allows for incremental 1-metre sections to
be added permitting an increasing length of perforated interval to be
stimulated. A key advantage of the Man-of-War includes the capacity to
stimulate the entire perforated interval simultaneously thereby reducing
the time of the stimulation.
3. Wavefront successfully completed an initial four of six Powerwave
stimulations with Weatherford at the Pemex operated Chicontepec field in
Mexico.
4. The Company entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with VeruTEK
Technologies Inc. ("VeruTEK", VTKT: OTC US) a U.S. based manufacturer of
high performance, plant-based chemical solutions for the oil and gas and
environmental sectors. Under the terms of the Memorandum of
Understanding VeruTEK may introduce Powerwave and Primawave as a highly
differentiated alternative for injection and will provide assistance to
Wavefront efforts to secure clients who use VeruTEK products and
services. Wavefront will identify and engage prospects interested in a
joint VeruTEK/Wavefront solution for enhanced oil recovery, well
stimulation, and environmental applications. In the oil sector,
Wavefront will resell co-branded VeruTEK products.
5. Wavefront received a 28-tool Powerwave expansion order from an existing
Powerwave Enhanced Oil Recovery project.
6. The Company received notice of allowance of a new patent in Mexico
related to the placement of fluids in the ground by pulse-injection.
7. Wavefront completed initial testing of the Powerwave surface pulsing
system known as the, "Surface Hammerhead", that is designed to create
fluid pressure pulses at the surface versus downhole. The advantages of
creating a fluid pressure pulse at surface include opening a larger
number of well candidates for Powerwave deployment as well as reducing
the overall cost of Powerwave installation. The Company is on track for
initial pilot field testing in the first fiscal quarter of 2013.
8. The Company developed a new "Staged Pulse System" to be integrated into
conventional drill strings and/or coiled tubing to overcome operational
constraints encountered in extended reach programs. The Staged Pulse
System creates a "variable" pressure pulse that eliminates static
friction in horizontal wellbores and concurrently removes cuttings
proximal to the bit which enables higher Rate of Penetration and
effective wellbore cleaning.
