HDX Announces Revised Financial Results for the Second Quarter 2010 Resulting
in Net Loss Decreasing by $156,041

TORONTO, Aug. 27 /CNW/ - Hosted Data Transaction Solutions Inc. ("HDX") announced today it is restating its financial results for the three-month period ending June 30, 2010. The financial statements are being restated to more properly reflect the impact of certain accounting policies related to acquisitions made by HDX in the period. The restatement results from review work performed by HDX's auditor. The re-assessment of the impact of accounting policies as applied to acquisitions by HDX during the quarter resulted in a reduction of the write-off of goodwill and closing consideration recognized in respect of the acquisitions and reflects an improvement to the net loss of $156,041 for the second quarter of 2010.

Additionally, the Company announced that it has filed an amended business acquisition report dated August 26, 2010 (the "Amended Business Acquisition Report"), relating to the acquisition of Posera Inc. by HDX. The Amended Business Acquisition Report replaces and supersedes the previous business acquisition report of HDX filed on August 4, 2010 (the "Previous Business Acquisition Report"). Following the date of filing of the Previous Business Acquisition Report, HDX's auditors performed a review of its quarterly financial statements, which resulted in the Company updating the valuation information with respect to Posera Inc., which has been utilized in the preparation of the Amended Business Acquisition Report. The inclusion of this information has been reflected in the Amended Business Acquisition Report by updating the information for Posera.

HDX is listed on the TSX under the symbol "HDX".

Paul Howell, CEO reports:

While achieving commendable sales and service revenues, the Company completed the acquisition of two established point of sale solution companies in the second quarter of 2010. The acquisition of A&A Point of Sale Solutions Inc. ("A&A") was completed on April 5th 2010 and the acquisition of Posera Inc. ("Posera") was completed on May 5th 2010.

Integration efforts are well underway and complimentary business activities have already resulted in new revenue opportunities for the combined entity. The company operated as a combined entity for 56 days in the quarter and total combined revenue for the quarter was $3,620,892.

In Q2 2010, HDX incurred one-time expenses and non-cash expenses such as accounting costs associated with the acquisitions and prospectus, amortization of equipment, amortization of intangibles, impairment to intangibles and goodwill, and legal costs associated with acquisitions. These items negatively impacted net income by a total of $704,900. Without these items, the Company would have had a net income of $216,488.

Michel Cote, formerly General Manager of Posera Inc., has been named President of the Company and at the Company's annual general meeting held on June 24th 2010, shareholders approved changing the name of the Company to Posera-HDX Inc.

HDX also provides system hardware integration services, merchant staff training, system installation services, and post sale software and hardware support services.

HDX leading edge technology also includes prepaid stored value payments solutions, customer self serve kiosks and "line buster" mobile point of sale terminals.

Posera Inc. develops, deploys, and supports a restaurant point-of-sale software know as "Maitre'D" which has been deployed in over 20,000 locations worldwide in eight different languages. Posera sells and services its clients directly, as well as through a network of approximately 140 value added reseller partners in 25 countries with approximately 1,100 representatives selling, supporting & installing its software. The Posera transaction provides HDX with technology, relationships, and revenue that is designed to facilitate further growth through acquisition. Posera employs approximately 70 people in offices in Seattle, Montreal, Glasgow (U.K.) and Paris (France).

HDX Post-Transaction:

On a pro-forma basis, assuming HDX, A&A and Posera had merged already, based on each of their most recently completed fiscal year-ends, the combined entity would have had revenue of approximately $18.1 million and breakeven EBITDA.
