VANCOUVER, Jan. 29, 2016 /CNW/ - Legend Power Systems Inc. (TSXV – LPS) is pleased to provide a Fiscal 2015 highlight summary of our progress in the Ontario, Canada marketplace to support our financials and MD&A for the year ended September 30, 2015.

Legend Power continues to build a solid reputation for pioneering, leading patented energy saving technologies that reduce energy consumption in commercial buildings. Our energy saving Harmonizer received strong support from Ontario based utilities and "key influencers" who provide expertise and services to our target markets.

Energy costs continue to increase every year and building owners, tenants and energy providers are focused on ways to reduce commercial building energy costs. Ontario's industry incentives to implement energy saving technologies are well funded beyond 2020.

The shift for Legend during the second half of 2015, was from "does the product work?" to "how much energy will the Harmonizer save in my building?" Achieving wide spread product acceptance was the key accomplishment for the year and was the base to establish our first dedicated sales force and the catalyst for growing sales.

Legend reports in Canadian dollars in accordance with IFRS

Fiscal 2015 Financial Highlights

• Achieved sales of $626,524 including Q4 sales of $208,707; the first complete quarter with our new sales team in place
• Margins for the period increased to 69% from 28% the previous year
• During Q4, the Company additionally delivered Harmonizers with an invoice amount of $189,980, revenue from which was not recognized in fiscal 2015 as it did not then fully meet IFRS Revenue Recognition criteria. The revenue will be recognized during fiscal 2016.
