Toronto - March 15, 2004 - MISC, the leading provider of outdoor solutions today announced the Canadian Government has recognized its technology as groundbreaking and leading edge. The government's Scientific Research and Experimental Development (SR & ED) program has found Charting Pro's development has successfully met their criteria.

The SR&ED program is a federal initiative to encourage businesses to conduct research and development (R&D) that will lead to new, improved, or technologically advanced products or processes. Work must advance the understanding of scientific relations or technologies, address scientific or technological uncertainty, and incorporate a systematic investigation by qualified personnel.

"Our development of Charting Pro was carefully planned and thought out from the beginning," says Brent McCaw, Vice President of Research and Development. "We wanted to take advantage of the latest technology and leverage it into a powerful framework on which we could develop our applications. In doing so, Charting Pro provides our clients with an extremely flexible and powerful application that can be built upon and extended into other environments such as the Internet."

Charting Pro is MISC's industry leading software system, with a proven track record for helping outdoor operators manage their businesses effectively and profitably. Over 80% of the top outdoor operators in North America today have automated their systems using Charting Pro.
