Carmanah Releases Preliminary Financial Results for Q1 2015 Victoria, British Columbia (FSCwire) - Carmanah Technologies Corporation (TSX: CMH) (the Company or Carmanah) today releases preliminary selected financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2015. As is the Companys normal practice, this preliminary release includes revenue guidance and commentary respecting order backlogs and gross margins. Full financial statement disclosure is scheduled to be made on or about May 13, 2015. Revenues in the first quarter of 2015 were approximately $11.3 million, up about 24 per cent from revenues of $9.1 million in the first quarter of 2014. Order backlog as at March 31, 2015, was approximately $10.7 million, up $1.7 million from $9.0 million at the beginning of the year and up more than $8.0 million from March 31, 2014. The growth in backlog was attributable in part to the growth in orders received in all Divisions and to contracts in hand at December 31, 2014 in Carmanahs On-Grid Power Division which were completion delayed as a result of inclement weather in Eastern Canada. The majority of the order backlog, including weather delayed contracts, are expected to complete in the second quarter. Gross margin percentages in the first quarter of 2015 improved over the comparable quarter in 2014. Each of the Companys three Divisions generated gross margin improvements with the overall gross margin improvement also the result of a favorable sales mix in the quarter. "We are extremely pleased with all aspects of our first quarter 2015 results," said John Simmons, Chief Executive Officer. "In the quarter the high value of orders that we received combined with the backlog at the beginning of the quarter would have resulted in record quarterly revenues if not for unavoidable weather delays. In addition, and of perhaps greatest significance, is that our program to improve margins through cost management and more disciplined operating rigor is beginning to show results. After full financial statement disclosure on or about May 13, 2015, the Company will hold an analyst conference call on or about May 14, 2015. Details respecting the analyst call will be released approximately one week prior to the call.

Carmanah Files Civil Lawsuit against Royal & Sun Alliance Insurance Company of Canada and Integro (Canada) Ltd. Victoria, British Columbia (FSCwire) - Carmanah Technologies Corporation (Carmanah or the Company) announces that it has filed a civil lawsuit in the Supreme Court of British Columbia against Royal & Sun Alliance Insurance Company of Canada (RSA) and Integro (Canada) Ltd. (Integro) operating as Integro Insurance Brokers. The lawsuit has been filed in an effort to obtain coverage under one or more of the Companys insurance policies, underwritten by RSA, for costs associated with defending a US lawsuit filed against the Company in July 2013. The underlying lawsuit, which the Company has been defending on its own, is a civil action initiated by R.D. Jones, Stop Experts, Inc., and RRFB Global, Inc. in the United States District Court of the Southern District Florida (the Stop Experts Lawsuit), which alleges patent infringement with respect to a specific flash pattern used in the Companys solar powered flashing beacons for the traffic safety market and claims relating to advertising and business practices. The Company continues in its belief that the Stop Experts Lawsuit is without merit. The decision to file a lawsuit against RSA and Integro was made after negotiations with RSA failed to produce an acceptable settlement for repayment of the costs incurred by the Company. The lawsuit seeks to recover legal expenses and damages. To the end of December 31, 2014, the Company has incurred approximately $1.1 million defending the Stop Experts Lawsuit. ### About Carmanah Technologies Corporation Since its founding in 1996, Carmanah has become one of the most trusted names in solar technology, delivering reliable and cost-effective solar powered products and systems for industrial applications worldwide.
