Lions Gate Metals Inc. Enters Into Agreement to Acquire the Whitford Lake Uranium Project, Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan

Lions Gate Metals Inc. (TSX VENTURE:LGM) ("Lions Gate" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has entered into an option agreement (the "Agreement") with an arm's-length vendor, by which the Company can earn a 100-per-cent (100%) interest in the Whitford Lake uranium project, which covers 67 hectares in the Athabasca Basin, in Saskatchewan (the "Property"). The Whitford Lake Project is located, some 21km SE of the Cigar Mine on the eastern edge of the Athabasca Basin, the most productive uranium region in the world. Other claimholders in the area include Fission Energy, Purepoint Uranium, Denison Mines and Cameco Corporation. The primary target at Whitford Lake is two northeast, parallel magnetic contacts, between which lies a zone of subsurface resistivity, with a strike length of roughly 750m. Drilling at Whitford Lake by Cameco in 1995 identified a zone of altered sandstone, beginning 30m above the unconformity, enriched with chlorite and illite, which is indicative of hydrothermal activity. In addition, elevated lead levels below the unconformity have also been identified. All of these enrichments are key exploration indicators for uranium exploration in the Athabasca basin.
Under the terms of the Agreement, the Company can earn a 100-per-cent (100%) interest in the Property by paying $100,000 initially and issuing two million five hundred thousand (2,500,000) common shares to the vendor. 1,000,000 shares will be issued within 5 days of regulatory approval with the balance being distributed under an escrow agreement over the next 18 months (500,000 share increments ever six months). The Company must make additional payments of $1,150,000 and complete $3,000,000 in exploration expenditures on the Property within the next 4 years. A 1-per-cent (1%) net smelter royalty has been granted to the vendor, of which a half per-cent (0.5%) may be purchased by the Company for $750,000. The Agreement is subject to regulatory approval.
"As we advance the option agreement on the Poplar Copper, Silver, Gold deposit the company has been looking for additional opportunities for expansion featuring geographical and commodity diversification. Our Lions Gate team has the skill sets and contacts in the Uranium Sector. The company's management is of the mindset that the Uranium sector will see renewed interest as the market realizes the supply and demand delta is widening. Management also feels asset values have 'bottomed-out' and at this stage projects such as Whitford Lake represent excellent value for money," commented CEO & Chair, Arni Johannson.
About Lions Gate Metals
Lions Gate is a public Canadian based, junior resource company focused on the exploration, development, and acquisition of both advanced and early stage mineral projects.
Sincerely on behalf of the Board of Directors,
Arni Johannson, Chairman and Interim President and CEO

SoundBite Communications Reports Fourth Quarter and Year End 2012 Financial Results

SoundBite Communications, Inc., a provider of customer experience management solutions, today announced its financial results for the fourth quarter and full year 2012. Fourth quarter revenues, computed in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), were $13.9 million, an increase of 16% compared to the same quarter in 2011. On a full year basis, GAAP revenues for 2012 were $48.1 million, a 15% increase over 2011. GAAP operating income for the fourth quarter of 2012 was $433,000. GAAP net income for the fourth quarter of 2012 was $469,000, or $0.03 per share, versus net income of $391,000 or $0.02 per share in the fourth quarter of 2011.

On a non-GAAP basis, after excluding non-cash stock-based compensation expense, amortization of intangible assets, a present value adjustment related to the SmartReply contingent consideration, and a tax benefit, net income was $1.1 million or $0.07 per share in the fourth quarter compared to $1.0 million or $0.06 per share in the same quarter in 2011.

We are very pleased with our strong fourth quarter financial performance, exceeding our original forecast as well as our preannouncement in January. These results were driven by a seasonally strong performance in our mobile marketing business and increased demand in our hosted contact center business, stated Jim Milton, president and CEO of SoundBite Communications. The fourth quarter was also an important and successful quarter by other business measures. SoundBite took a clear leadership position for our industry; championing efforts resulting in a positive declaratory ruling from the FCC for confirmatory opt-out text messages. As a result, our TCPA related class action cases have been dismissed. And based on the improving confidence in our business, we paid a special one-time dividend in December of $0.50 per share.

Milton continued,We continued our transformation in 2012 - growing our mobile channel, delivering improving financial results, and expanding offerings in the marketing, proactive customer care and collections and payments lifecycles. For 2013, I am optimistically looking forward to continuing our momentum across the lifecycle, expanding our global reach, building our channel partnerships, reaching sustainable profitability, and enabling our clients to deliver the best customer experience possible.

Recent Highlights

Released an enhanced multi-channel compliance suite for contact centers, enabling organizations to mitigate risks and meet compliance requirements.
Secured a favorable Declaratory Ruling from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) on confirmatory opt-out text message compliance.
Announced a complaints solution for financial services organizations striving to meet the U.K. Financial Services Authority (FSA) regulatory and compliance requirements.
Declared a special dividend to stockholders, paid in December 2012, of $0.50 per share.
Announced a positive end to the class action law suits against GameStop, and Bank of America/SoundBite related to confirmatory opt-out text messages.

Quarterly Results

GAAP Results
Gross margin for the fourth quarter of 2012 was 63.4% versus 61.2% in the fourth quarter of 2011. Operating expenses were $8.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2012 and as a percentage of revenues were 60.3% versus 57.8% in the year-earlier period.

Operating income for the fourth quarter was $433,000, compared to $397,000 in the same quarter last year.

Net income was $469,000 for the fourth quarter of 2012 versus net income of $391,000 in the fourth quarter of 2011. Net income per share for the fourth quarter of 2012 was $0.03, versus $0.02 in the same quarter of 2011.

Non-GAAP Results
Fourth quarter 2012 non-GAAP net income was $1.1 million or $0.07 per share, compared to a non-GAAP net income of $1.0 million or $0.06 per share for the same period in 2011. Non-GAAP net income computations exclude amortization expense, stock-based compensation expense, a present value adjustment of the contingent consideration related to the SmartReply earn-out, and a tax benefit. A reconciliation of GAAP net income to non-GAAP net income is included with the financial tables at the end of this release.

Non-GAAP free cash flow, calculated as cash flow from operating activities, less payments, if any, of contingent purchase price related to the Mobile Collect and SmartReply acquisitions, and purchases of property and equipment, for the fourth quarter resulted in a negative free cash flow of $819,000. A reconciliation of GAAP cash flows (used in) generated from operating activities to non-GAAP free cash flow is included with the financial tables at the end of this release.

Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) for the fourth quarter of 2012 was $1.5 million versus $1.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2011, reflecting an 8% increase over prior year. Adjusted EBITDA reflects EBITDA excluding the effects of stock-based compensation expense and present value adjustments of the contingent consideration related to the SmartReply earn-out in the fourth quarter 2012 and 2011. A reconciliation of net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA is included with the financial tables at the end of this release.

First Quarter Guidance

Based on information available as of February 21, 2013, SoundBite is issuing guidance for the first quarter 2013 as follows:

SoundBite currently projects revenues in the range of $11.1 million to $11.8 million and gross margin in the range of 59% to 61% for the first quarter of 2013. Operating expenses are expected to be approximately $8.4 million. The projection for GAAP net loss is in the range of $1.3 million to $1.8 million and on a per share basis is a net loss of $0.08 to $0.11 for the first quarter of 2013.

The non-GAAP projections are for a non-GAAP net loss of $400,000 to $900,000, or $0.03 to $0.06 per share. Non-GAAP estimates exclude the effects of the amortization of intangible assets of approximately $400,000 associated with the Companys acquisitions of SmartReply and 2ergo Americas, estimated stock-based compensation expense of approximately $250,000, severance expenses of approximately $200,000, and a present value adjustment of the contingent consideration related to the SmartReply earn-out of approximately $40,000. On an adjusted basis, SoundBite is projecting earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization to be breakeven to a loss of $600,000. These projections assume a basic weighted share count of approximately 16.5 million shares for the first quarter of 2013. SoundBite expects capital expenditures to be approximately $350,000 and depreciation expense to be approximately $400,000.

Webcast and Teleconference Information
The Company will host a conference call today at 5:00 pm. ET to discuss its financial results. A live and archived webcast of the event will be available at ir.soundbite.com. A live dial-in is available in the U.S. at + 1 866 362 4666 and outside the U.S. at +1 617 597 5313, and using the passcode: 23977065.

Non-GAAP and Adjusted Measures
To supplement its statements of operations information presented in accordance with GAAP, SoundBite presents information with respect to non-GAAP net income (loss), non-GAAP free cash flow and Adjusted EBITDA. SoundBite has included in this release reconciliations of GAAP net income (loss) to non-GAAP net income (loss), GAAP cash flows (used in) generated from operating activities to non-GAAP free cash flow, and GAAP net income to Adjusted EBITDA. SoundBite believes these supplemental measures are often used by investors as measures of financial performance in evaluating technology companies such as SoundBite and also believes these financial measures can enhance investors overall understanding of SoundBites historical financial performance. The presentation of these supplemental financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, SoundBites financial results reported in accordance with GAAP. SoundBite may compute these supplemental financial measures differently from other companies, which would reduce their usefulness as comparative measures.

OSC Approves Release of Academy's Shares from Escrow

ACADEMY EXPLORATIONS LIMITED ("Academy" or the "Company"). On August 31, 2012, the Ontario Securities Commission approved the Company's request in Ontario to amend an existing escrow agreement among the Company, its transfer agent and certain security holders of the Applicant entered into on May 25, 1977 (the Escrow Agreement). The Company's request for approval is made pursuant to section 3 of the Escrow Agreement. The Commission advised that, based upon the representations contained in the request for approval correspondence, the Director of the Ontario Securities Commission, as principal regulator, approves of the amendment to the Escrow Agreement whereby the following common shares of the Company will be released from escrow (the Escrow Shares):

Ronpaul Investments Limited		168,750 Common Shares
Rae Appleby		461,250 Common Shares

The Commission's approval of the amendment to the Escrow Agreement is based on the following conditions:
1. the Company issues a news release, notifying the market of and setting out the date of the release of escrow securities, at least 60 days before the release of the escrow securities; and
2. the release date of the Escrow Shares is at least 60 days after the news release.
In accordance with the Commission's approval, the escrowed securities set out above will be released from escrow on April 26, 2012. The Commission's approval does not constitute an exemption from the provisions of Canadian securities laws which may require a shareholder to comply with certain terms and conditions prior to or after any sale of its shares.
ABOUT ACADEMY
Academy is presently not trading on any exchange and does not currently carry on any active business. Management's strategy is to stay liquid while searching for an appropriate opportunity with a private corporation that is looking to expand its operations by acquiring control of, or investment capital from, a publicly owned company such as Academy. Management has decided to invest in public and private mutual funds without jeopardizing liquidity with the potential to earn greater income albeit with higher risk than investing solely in guaranteed investment certificates Academy has looked at some prospective deals. In all cases the private corporation was not yet mature enough or the amount to be invested was too great relative to our capital resources. By mature, the Company means their length of time in business was greater than two years, their latest annual gross revenue was greater than one million dollars, and latest annual net profit was greater than 5%.
All shareholders have the ability to receive a hard copy of the Escrow Agreement and the Commission's approval free of charge upon request. Should you wish to receive these documents, in hard copy, or for further information, please contact the Paul Appleby, CFO of the Company at 416-530-0070, or e-mail 007@pathcom.com.
Caution Regarding Forward-Looking Statements - This news release contains certain forward-looking statements, including statements regarding the business and anticipated financial performance of Academy. These statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially from results contemplated by the forward-looking statements. When relying on forward-looking statements to make decisions, investors and others should carefully consider the foregoing factors and other uncertainties and should not place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements. Academy does not undertake to update any forward looking statements, oral or written, made by itself or on its behalf.
