TECSYS Signs Letter of Intent to Acquire PointForce

MONTREAL, November 18, 2003 — TECSYS Inc. (TSX: TCS), a leading Supply Chain Management (SCM) software company announced today it has signed a Letter of Intent to acquire PointForce Inc., a leading provider of enterprise software to the giftware and home decorations distribution industry. The closing of this transaction, which is expected to occur in January 2004 is subject to due diligence, regulatory approval and the completion of a definitive purchase agreement. The cash purchase price will be a maximum of $4.2M CDN.

"We made the decision over a year ago, to pursue a multiple platform technology by adding a distribution-focused windows offering to our portfolio" said Dave Brereton, Executive Chairman and Co-CEO of TECSYS Inc. "PointForce will continue to grow and expand in its Toronto location and to develop and enhance the WinSol™ product line but now with the added expertise of TECSYS in web-based architecture. PointForce is profitable and we expect this transaction to be accretive to earnings."

Headquartered in Markham, Ontario, PointForce has been in business for twenty-three years and is the number one software provider in North America to the giftware and home decorations market. The company is also in the top position as a software provider in Canada to the office products market. PointForce has been ranked in the top sixty (60) software and services companies in Canada in April 2003 on the Branham Top 300 Listing. The company has approximately two hundred sixty (260) clients and fifty-seven (57) employees. PointForce sells and implements software solutions throughout North America, and its trailing twelve months revenue has been approximately $6.65M CDN.

"The two companies are very similar in their business models of direct-to-client service, have complementary products and services, as well as corporate cultures," said Kevin Tribe, President of PointForce Inc.

"We expect that this will be a smooth transition and a great opportunity for us to leverage our mutual strengths. This transaction would also allow us to enhance our product and service offerings to our clients and our target markets."

PointForce primarily targets companies with revenues of up to $50M. This is complementary to TECSYS' target markets of $50M and higher. While 67% of its revenue is from Canada, increasingly, PointForce has focused its sales efforts on the wholesale-to-retail market in the U.S. This compares to TECSYS, which generates approximately 75% of its revenues from the U.S. Together, the two companies will have access to approximately 67% of the total distribution market from a technology standpoint, with PointForce bringing the Windows solution and TECSYS focused on the Linux/UNIX market.
