OTTAWA--(Marketwire - November 26, 2008) - Plaintree Systems Inc. (Plaintree) (CNSX: NPT) (OTCBB: [ PTEEF ]) today reported results for the second quarter of fiscal 2009 ended September 30, 2008, representing the second quarter of combined results following the completion of the amalgamation of Plaintree with Hypernetics Limited and the Triodetic Group of Companies.

Consolidated revenue for all three product divisions of the Company for the second quarter of 2009 was $5,044,416. The consolidated financial statements of the new company include the accounts of Plaintree, Hypernetics and Triodetic Group of Companies. The company has adopted the continuity of interest method, whereby the current and comparative results are presented as if the companies have always been combined.

The net income attributed to common shares for this period was $1,290,071, or 0.10 cents per share.

"This has been our second quarter since the amalgamation and it has been our second quarter of stellar results," said David Watson, CEO. "The excellent reputation and reliability of all of Plaintree's divisions has helped us to maintain great results even during a period when the global economy was slowing. I wish, however, to advise shareholders that revenue and earnings figures in the new Plaintree are expected to fluctuate from quarter to quarter as Plaintree and Triodetic both sell on a contract basis which results in uneven income dispersal throughout the year."

During the quarter, Plaintree completed the listing of its common shares on the Canada National Stock Exchange (CNSX) (formerly the Canadian Trading and Quotation System Inc. (CNQ)) to again give the Company's shareholders a Canadian market on which to trade their shares. Plaintree's shares are traded under the symbol "NPT." Shareholders and Investors can access Company information on CNSX's website and receive full Company disclosure monthly.

"Plaintree is pleased to again be trading on a Canadian exchange and I would encourage shareholders to use the CNSX for trading purposes," added David Watson, CEO and President.
