GUELPH, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 05/07/12 -- Texada Software Inc. ("Texada", or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:TXS), is pleased to announce record revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2012 as outlined above.

The Company continues to recognize the year ending December 31, 2011 as a critical jumping-off point for Texada and demonstrates through its record 2012 first quarter revenues the accelerated trajectory of increasing customer satisfaction, growth and shareholder value.

"All operating business units experienced strong revenue growth during the first quarter," said Willie Swisher, the Company's Chief Executive Officer. "The rental business unit experienced elevated time utilization rates during this period, even considering that we added additional rental fleet late in the fourth quarter of 2011. The software business unit continues to see success in the recently launched "Software as a Service" ("SaaS") deployment option, as more and more businesses are turning to in the cloud models for many of their software options. Based on our preliminary results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2012, our expectations are to continue to see our initiatives show success throughout the balance of the year. We take the recently completed quarter as market confirmation of our vision, initiatives and direction and we will continue to forge our path forward, together, as a team."

In further expanding the breadth of the Company's expertise, Texada announced that it is pleased that Ron Schwarz, CFA, has accepted the Board's invitation to stand as a nominee to join the Board of Directors at the Company's annual general meeting scheduled for June 28, 2012.

Mr. Schwarz's background is as an independent investor and capital markets professional with over 20 years of experience as a senior executive within equity research, wholesale banking and asset management. He recently served as Executive Director and Small Cap Portfolio Manager with UBS Global Asset Management Canada, where he managed a Canadian small cap fund. Previously, Mr. Schwarz was CIBC's Managing Director and Head of Canadian Cash Equities, which encompassed the bank's equity sales, trading, research and prime brokerage businesses. Mr. Schwarz's expertise is centered on capital markets and corporate strategy.

"As we continue executing multiple strategic initiatives, including existing and new business expansion," said Nabil Kassam, Executive Chairman, "Ron's participation will significantly catalyze our ability to continue building a remarkable and enduring company."
