In many ways, the beginning of Legend's Fiscal year was the beginning of its transition from a startup entity to a growth stage company. The Company has a strengthened balance sheet, the product is a strong performer offering appreciable value, and the five pillars required to support a growth stage company are now in place. The five pillars are:

1. Having the right people;
2. Sufficient capital to fuel growth;
3. The operational capacity to support growing sales;
4. A proven product that meets or exceeds customer expectations; and
5. Demonstrable customer success with anticipated sales growth.

The primary operational initiatives Legend Power is focused on are:

• Methodical sales growth -- introduction of Legend to new geographical regions
  • Implement major account management methodology
  • Leverage marketing plan as an enabler and accelerator of sales
  • Develop and introduce a professional "reseller franchise" offering
• Increase profitability
  • Proactive cost management
  • Margin improvement for installation component of sale
• Manage working capital requirements
• Improve field service levels to shorten sales cycle and increase customer satisfaction
• Deliver next generation product on time and on budget

¹ Committed orders is a non-IFRS measure, which is a supplementary indicator of sales activity.

We are presenting this measure because we believe it provides the reader a clearer and more current understanding of the Company's sales activity which is typically not apparent until much later when components of a sale have achieved minimum revenue recognition criteria.

The measure does not have any standardized meaning under IFRS and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. The Company defines committed orders as the total number of units committed for purchase by customers, evidenced by either a purchase order, purchase agreement or both as at the date of this MD&A, which had not been recognized in revenue during the proceeding financial periods.
