TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwired) -- 11/15/13 -- Unique Broadband Systems, Inc. ("UBS") (TSX VENTURE: UBS) today reported its operating and financial results for the year ended August 31, 2013.
Operating and financial highlights included the following:
-- UBS continues to operate under the court approved Company Creditors

-- On February 19, 2013, UBS sold 12,430,000 multiple voting shares and
14,630,000 subordinate voting shares of ONEnergy Inc. for $0.14 per
share, or $3.8 million, generating a gain of $0.45 million.
-- On May 21, 2013, the Honourable Madam Justice Mesbur released Reasons
for Decision, pursuant to the claims submitted by Mr. McGoey and Jolian
Investments Ltd. As a result, the Company reversed $2.0 million of
accrued restructuring liabilities due to related parties, and accrued an

October 31, 2013, UBS was granted leave to appeal the decision of
enhanced severance and is currently proceeding with the appeal.

process, and the expiration of the Management Services Agreement with
ONEnergy Inc. on May 19, 2012.
