Contracted Backlog
Contracted backlog for the licensing division is defined as undelivered contractual commitments, other than
minimum royalty obligations, and assumes that in cases of multi-year/multi-facility commitments by licensees,
subsequent facilities match the industrial technology configured for the first facility. Contracted backlog for
the structural products division is defined as the undelivered portion of signed construction contracts. The
timing of these contractual commitments into revenue is uncertain and the possibility exists that contractual
commitments can be de-booked.
A breakdown of the Company's contracted backlog is as follows:
- Total backlog as at September 30, 2008 was approximately $49,000,000,
representing a 48% increase over backlog of approximately $33,000,000
as at September 30, 2007.
- Backlog for the licensing division as at September 30, 2008 was
approximately $20,000,000. This excludes minimum royalty obligations.
- Backlog for the structural products division as at September 30, 2008 was
approximately $29,000,000.
Business Update
Licensing Division

$304,000, and net income of $139,000 for the third quarter of fiscal 2008;
- Operating expenses, excluding corporate reorganization costs, decreased by
19% as a result of cost cutting initiatives;
- Signed its fourth license agreement in 2008 with UAB Baltic Light Steel

one quarter ahead of target. The Company's Ireland office was successful
in securing this transaction;
- Backlog increased to $20,000,000, compared to $4,000,000 for the third
quarter of 2007;
- Completed the development, testing and manufacturing of its newest
Material Optimization Technology ("MOT") series, MOT 6000, for its central
Russia licensee, Greenford Trading, which was shipped in July 2008; and
- Expanded its process patent filings for its Coil-to-Panel ("CTP")
manufacturing line to markets in Dubai, Turkey, Russia, Ukraine, China,
India, Australia, and the European Union.
Structural Products Division
- Commenced on-site installation of four new projects;
- Signed contracts for new vertical building markets to provide light steel
framing to schools, portable buildings, and government assisted-living
affordable housing;
- the Genesis Solution can now be applied to structures eight storeys and
under, an increase of two storeys;
- Completed remedial work relating to defective products and services
provided by third party vendors in the previous quarter, incurring total
costs of $300,000 for the quarter.
- Expanded utilization of its MOT to produce roof solutions;
- Backlog was $29,000,000, which was consistent with the third quarter of
2007; and
- Operating expenses decreased by 13% as a result of cost cutting
initiatives.
Corporate Division
- Announced the appointment of its new Chief Financial Officer, Greg Kent.
"During the third quarter of 2008, the Company's licensing division, GenesisTP Inc., signed a new license
agreement for the Baltic region. This brings the total number of new license agreements for the 2008 fiscal
period to four, achieving the Company's fiscal year 2008 target one quarter early," stated Vince Mifsud,
Genesis' President and Chief Executive Officer. "We are also pleased to report that this division achieved
operating profit in the quarter."
Mr. Mifsud continued, "The Company's structural products division, KML Building Solutions, continued to enter
new vertical building markets, such as schools, portable buildings, and government assisted-living affordable
housing. During the quarter, this division completed the remedial work incurred as a result of what the Company
believes were defective products and services provided by third party vendors. With these costs behind us, the
deployment of MOT and a strong backlog, we believe that this division has a clear road map to achieving
operating profits."
