Quebec City, September 23, 2014 – (TSXV: HEO) – H2O Innovation Inc. ("H2O Innovation" or the "Company") announces its 
--->results for the fourth quarter and 2014 fiscal year ended June 30, 2014. H2O Innovation's fiscal year 2014 results sho
--->wed revenues of $34.8 M down from $36.1 M for fiscal year 2013, a 3.6% reduction year over year. Despite the small dec
--->line in revenues, the Company has shown a significant increase of 134% of its new bookings of water treatment projects
--->, pushing the order backlog to a record-high of $38.3 M as at June 30, 2014. The Company also solidified its business 
--->model through the acquisition of  Piedmont Pacific Corporation [http://www.piedmontpacific.com/] ("Piedmont"), a world
--->-known manufacturer of specialty couplings, adding to the portfolio of specialty products and services. The Company's 
--->gross profit before depreciation and amortization improved over the year from 25.6% in fiscal year 2013 to 26.6% in fi
--->scal year 2014, due to business mix and improved project execution.

The Company's new bookings for water treatment projects secured increased by 134% from $17.9 M during fiscal year 2013
---> to $41.8 M during current fiscal year. As at June 30, 2014, Company's sales backlog stands at $38.3 M compared to $14
--->.1 M as at June 30, 2013. The bookings over revenues ratio of the Company's stood at 2.4 for fiscal year 2014, compare
--->d to 0.78 for fiscal year 2013. "This is a good indicator that we will assist to an increase of revenues derived from 
--->water treatment projects in the coming fiscal year. Such solid order backlog at the beginning of this new 2015 fiscal 
--->year gives us the ability to better plan the allocation of our resources and growth", stated Frédéric Dugré, President
---> and Chief Executive Officer of H2O Innovation Inc.

The decline of 3.6% in revenues in fiscal year 2014 is mainly attributable to the lower level of revenues from water t
--->reatment projects deliveries and projects progress, caused by delays beyond our control. However, these projects will 
--->be delivered during the next fiscal year. The decline was partly offset by the higher level of revenues from sales of 
--->specialty products and services, further pushed by the acquisition of Piedmont in the course of the year.

In fiscal year 2014, revenues from water treatment projects stood at $17.6 M compared with $22.9 M in fiscal year 2013
--->, while revenues from specialty products and services reached $17.2M in fiscal year 2014 compared with $13.2 M in fisc
--->al year 2013. The decline of revenues from water treatment projects was partly offset by the higher level of revenues 
--->from sales of specialty products and services. For the year ended June 30, 2014 sales from specialty products and serv
--->ices, which are of recurring nature, accounted for 49% of total revenues, while this proportion was 37% in the previou
--->s fiscal year. "The increase of 30% of revenues from sales of specialty products and services is the result of a strat
--->egic decision to acquire Piedmont, and strengthening our relationship with our customers, providing a steady stream of
---> revenues and creating a direct value to our shareholders", stated Frédéric Dugré.

The acquisition of Piedmont completed on December 5, 2013, is part of this strategy to generate greater revenues from 
--->specialty products. Additional efforts aimed at increasing the organic growth associated with our maple syrup producti
--->on equipment and products and our specialty chemical products have also paid off. Indeed, our distribution network for
---> maple syrup production equipment now has a total of 30 distributors covering the province of Quebec and the Northeast
---> of the United States, an addition of 3 distributors over the current fiscal year. Furthermore, the additions made to 
--->the  Professional Water Technology [http://www.pwtchemicals.com/] ("PWT") sales force of specialty chemical products a
--->lso supported the growth of recurring revenues from specialty products and services.

This strategy for organic growth of revenues from sales of specialty products and services is proven to be winning sin
--->ce it minimizes the impact of revenue volatility associated with revenues derived from water treatment projects, reinf
--->orces long-term relationships with its customers and maintain a higher gross profit.

The Company's ratio of selling, operating and administrative expenses ("SG&A") as a whole over revenues amounted to 25
--->.8% for fiscal year 2014, up from 21.4% for the previous fiscal year. This increase is attributable to a higher level 
--->of SG&A expenses, especially selling expenses to support our business plan aimed at increasing our water treatment sys
--->tems' sales in North America, combined to a lower level of revenues derived from water treatment projects sales. With 
--->the acquisition of Piedmont, management aims to reduce the SG&A ratio to a level similar to last year through an incre
--->ase of revenues and tighter management of SG&A expenses

Adjusted EBITDA for fiscal year 2014 was $77,155 compared to $1,584,252, for fiscal year 2013. The adjusted EBITDA has
---> significantly varied in fiscal year 2014 due to the severe decline of revenues derived from water treatment projects 
--->and the increase of SG&A expenses.

Net cash used by operating activities amounted to ($2,486,316) in fiscal year 2014 compared to $1,053,500 of net cash 
--->generated by operating activities during the previous fiscal year. This deterioration is attributable to the significa
--->nt net loss in fiscal year 2014 compared to a net earnings fiscal year 2013. This significant deterioration is also at
--->tributable to a negative change in working capital items, such as:

Higher volume of activities toward year-end reflected in an increase of the level of accounts receivable as of June 30
--->, 2014 compared to June 30, 2013; This higher volume of activities has also increased the level of accounts payable an
--->d accrued liabilities in fiscal year 2014 compared to fiscal year 2014; A timing difference within the projects produc
--->tion phases affecting the invoicing milestones reached and therefore affecting costs incurred in excess of billings an
--->d billings in excess of costs incurred.

Financial results for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2014

Revenues for the fourth quarter were up by 17 % to $7.9 M from $6.8 M for the same quarter of the previous fiscal year
--->. The increase is explained by the increase of $1.7 M in revenues from specialty products and services, coming in part
---> from the acquisition of Piedmont in December 2013 and, to lesser extent, to higher level of sales of maple syrup prod
--->uction equipment. It was toned down by a decrease of $0.6 M of revenues from water treatment projects which suffer fro
--->m lower volume of projects execution.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2014, the gross profit before depreciation and amortization remained stable at 26.8%.

The fourth quarter SG&A expenses were somewhat stable and similar to the first three quarters of fiscal year 2014. The
--->y stand at $2.4 M in this current quarter compared to $2.0 M in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2013. The increase i
--->s mainly due to the integration completion of Piedmont to our Vista's office and hiring to support its operations and 
--->the increase of selling expenses related to bookings secured during the quarter.

Strategic outlook for fiscal year 2015

We begin this fiscal year 2015 with confidence. We have a record high order backlog of water treatment projects standi
--->ng at $38.3 M as at June 30, 2014 and our revenues from specialty products and services, which are recurring in nature
--->, reached $17.2 M during fiscal year2014. It means that the strategic investments we have made in fiscal year 2014 are
---> paying off and we intend to continue towards this direction." stated Frédéric Dugré.

During fiscal year 2014 the Company has made significant steps in its water treatment projects sales' business develop
--->ment:

Secured, for a second mandate, the supply of a modular plant to produce drinking water and wastewater sanitation for a
---> major oil & gas company worker's camp in Alberta; Granted a $10 M contract to design, manufacture and deliver of reve
--->rse osmosis units for the municipality of Monterey, the second largest desalination plant unit in California; Selected
---> by the City of Montevina, California for providing an ultrafiltration system with a capacity of 30 million gallons of
---> water, ultrafiltration largest ultrafiltration project ever undertaken to date by the Company;  Successfully marketed
---> to several Northwestern United States municipalities, its new design frame Fiberflex for membranes MF/UF made to acco
--->mmodate several types of microfiltration membranes and different ultrafiltration.

All these important milestones accomplished during fiscal year 2014 will certainly contribute to the revenues of the n
--->ext fiscal year but will also position favorably the Company for future wins. Indeed, the current pipeline of water tr
--->eatment projects sales remains rich in opportunities which should allow the Company to renew its order backlog and sup
--->port its revenue growth. With an enlarged sales team compared to 2013 fiscal year, we maintain high bidding activities
---> and business development mainly in Canada and United Sates while supporting our network of international distributors
---> and agents to ensure organic growth for our specialty products.

The increase of revenues from specialty products and services is mainly due by the revenues coming from the acquisitio
--->n and the successful integration of Piedmont. In fiscal year 2015, we intend to continue to maximize cross-selling act
--->ivities between the distinct networks of PWT and Piedmont. We will also continue the expansion of our distribution net
--->works for specialty chemical products PWT as well as for our Piedmont flexible couplings.

All of these growth initiatives established during fiscal year 2014 allow us to begin the 2015 fiscal year with confid
--->ence.

--->s, coming in part from the  acquisition of Piedmont in December 2013 and, to lesser extent, to higher level  of sales 
--->of maple syrup production equipment. It was toned down by a decrease  of $0.6 M of revenues from water treatment proje

        <li>Secured, for a second  mandate, the supply of a modular plant to produce drinking water and wastewater  sa
