MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

This Management's Discussion and Analysis ("MD&A") for Computer Modelling Group Ltd. ("CMG," the "Company," "we" or "our"), presented as at August 7, 2012, should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes of the Company for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and the audited consolidated financial statements and MD&A for the years ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 contained in the 2012 Annual Report for CMG. Additional information relating to CMG, including our Annual Information Form, can be found at www.sedar.com. The financial data contained herein have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") and, unless otherwise indicated, all amounts in this report are expressed in Canadian dollars and rounded to the nearest thousand.

FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

Certain information included in this MD&A is forward-looking. Forward-looking information includes statements that are not statements of historical fact and which address activities, events or developments that the Company expects or anticipates will or may occur in the future, including such things as investment objectives and strategy, the development plans and status of the Company's software development projects, the Company's intentions, results of operations, levels of activity, future capital and other expenditures (including the amount, nature and sources of funding thereof), business prospects and opportunities, research and development timetable, and future growth and performance. When used in this MD&A, statements to the effect that the Company or its management "believes", "expects", "expected", "plans", "may", "will", "projects", "anticipates", "estimates", "would", "could", "should", "endeavours", "seeks", "predicts" or "intends" or similar statements, including "potential", "opportunity", "target" or other variations thereof that are not statements of historical fact should be construed as forward-looking information. These statements reflect management's current beliefs with respect to future events and are based on information currently available to management of the Company. The Company believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking information are reasonable, but no assurance can be given that these expectations will prove to be correct and such forward-looking information should not be unduly relied upon.

With respect to forward-looking information contained in this MD&A, we have made assumptions regarding, among other things:

-- Future software license sales

-- The continued financing by and participation of the Company's partners

in the DRMS project and it being completed in a timely manner

-- Ability to enter into additional software license agreements

-- Ability to continue current research and new product development

-- Ability to recruit and retain qualified staff

Forward-looking information is not a guarantee of future performance and involves a number of risks and uncertainties, only some of which are described herein. Many factors could cause the Company's actual results, performance or achievements, or future events or developments, to differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking information including, without limitation, the following factors which are described in the MD&A of CMG's 2012 Annual Report under the heading "Business Risks":

-- Economic conditions in the oil and gas industry

-- Reliance on key clients

-- Foreign exchange

-- Economic and political risks in countries where the Company currently

does or proposes to do business

-- Increased competition

-- Reliance on employees with specialized skills or knowledge

-- Protection of proprietary rights

Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements prove incorrect, actual results, performance or achievement may vary materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking information contained in this MD&A. These factors should be carefully considered and readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking information, which speaks only as of the date of this MD&A. All subsequent forward-looking information attributable to the Company herein is expressly qualified in its entirety by the cautionary statements contained in or referred to herein. The Company does not undertake any obligation to release publicly any revisions to forward-looking information contained in this MD&A to reflect events or circumstances that occur after the date of this MD&A or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as may be required under applicable securities laws.

NON-IFRS FINANCIAL MEASURES

This MD&A includes certain measures which have not been prepared in accordance with IFRS such as "EBITDA", "direct employee costs" and "other corporate costs." Since these measures do not have a standard meaning prescribed by IFRS, they are unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. Management believes that these indicators nevertheless provide useful measures in evaluating the Company's performance.

"Direct employee costs" include salaries, bonuses, stock-based compensation, benefits, commission expenses, and professional development. "Other corporate costs" include facility-related expenses, corporate reporting, professional services, marketing and promotion, computer expenses, travel, and other office-related expenses. Direct employee costs and other corporate costs should not be considered an alternative to total operating expenses as determined in accordance with IFRS. People-related costs represent the Company's largest area of expenditure; hence, management considers highlighting separately corporate and people-related costs to be important in evaluating the quantitative impact of cost management of these two major expenditure pools. See "Expenses" heading for a reconciliation of direct employee costs and other corporate costs to total operating expenses.

"EBITDA" refers to net income before adjusting for depreciation expense, finance income, finance costs, and income and other taxes. EBITDA should not be construed as an alternative to net income as determined by IFRS. The Company believes that EBITDA is useful supplemental information as it provides an indication of the results generated by the Company's main business activities prior to consideration of how those activities are amortized, financed or taxed. See "EBITDA" heading for a reconciliation of EBITDA to net income.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

CMG's revenue is comprised of software license sales, which provide the majority of the Company's revenue, and fees for professional services. Total revenue increased by 3% in the current quarter, compared to the first quarter of the previous fiscal year, due to an increase in software license sales driven by the growth in annuity/maintenance license sales. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in fees for professional services earned during the quarter.

SOFTWARE LICENSE REVENUE

Software license revenue is made up of annuity/maintenance license fees charged for the use of the Company's software products which is generally for a term of one year or less and perpetual software license sales, whereby the customer purchases the-then-current version of the software and has the right to use that version in perpetuity. Annuity/maintenance license fees have historically had a high renewal rate and, accordingly, provide a reliable revenue stream while perpetual license sales are more variable and unpredictable in nature as the purchase decision and its timing fluctuate with the customers' needs and budgets. The majority of CMG's customers who have acquired perpetual software licenses subsequently purchase our maintenance package to ensure ongoing product support and access to current versions of CMG's software.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Total software license revenue grew by 6% in the current quarter, compared to the first quarter of the previous fiscal year, due to the increase in annuity/maintenance license revenue related to increased sales to new and existing customers. This increase was substantially offset by a decrease in perpetual sales.

CMG's annuity/maintenance license revenue increased by 46% during the three months ended June 30, 2012, compared to the same period of last year. This increase was driven by sales to new and existing clients as well as an increase in maintenance revenue tied to our strong perpetual sales generated in the previous two fiscal years. Part of the increase is due to the inclusion of a payment received from one of our large customers for whom revenue recognition criteria are fulfilled only at the time of the receipt of funds. The payment was received for the licenses and services provided for two quarters of the previous fiscal year (see the discussion about revenue earned in the current period that pertains to usage of products in prior quarters above the "Quarterly Software License Revenue" graph). Given our long-standing relationship with this client, and the multi-year nature of the contract, we expect to continue to receive payments under this arrangement, however, the amount and timing are uncertain and will continue to be recorded on a cash basis which may introduce some variability in our reported quarterly annuity/maintenance revenue results. If we were to exclude revenue received from this particular customer from the current quarter's recorded revenue to provide a normalized comparison, we would note that the annuity/maintenance revenue increased by 24% in the current quarter.

Despite some variability introduced by the described arrangement, it should be noted that our annuity/maintenance license sales, representing a recurring revenue stream, have continued to experience consecutive quarterly increases over the past several fiscal years, and this trend has continued in the first quarter of fiscal 2013.

We can observe from the table below that the exchange rates between the US and Canadian dollars during the current quarter compared to the first quarter of the previous fiscal year, had no measurable impact on our reported annuity/maintenance revenue.

Software license revenue under perpetual sales decreased by 62% or $3.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012, compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year. In the first quarter of the previous fiscal year, we reported an amount associated with a multi-million perpetual contract in the Eastern Hemisphere which contributed significantly to the revenue growth in the first quarter of the previous year. Even though perpetual sales increased in the Canadian market in the current quarter, we have generated fewer perpetual license sales across all other regions. Software licensing under perpetual sales is a significant part of CMG's business, but may fluctuate significantly between periods due to the uncertainty associated with the timing and the location where sales are generated. For this reason, even though we expect to achieve a certain level of aggregate perpetual sales on an annual basis, we expect to observe fluctuations in the quarterly perpetual revenue amounts throughout the fiscal year. It should be further pointed out, that strong perpetual sales in the previous quarters contributed to the increase in our recurring maintenance revenue in the current quarter.

We can observe from the table below that the exchange rates between the US and Canadian dollars during the current quarter compared to the first quarter of the previous fiscal year, had virtually no impact on our reported perpetual revenue.

(1) Includes Europe, Africa, Asia and Australia.

On a geographic basis, total software license sales increased across all regions with the exception of the Eastern Hemisphere which experienced a decline of 50%.

The Canadian market (representing 36% of the current quarter's total software revenue) experienced healthy increases in both annuity/maintenance and perpetual license sales with the recorded increases of $1.2 million and $0.5 million, respectively. These increases were supported by the sales to both new and existing clients. The Canadian market continues to be the leader in generating total software license revenue and, particularly, in generating the recurring annuity/maintenance revenue as evidenced by the consecutive quarterly increases of 49%, 51%, 40% and 17% recorded in the first, second, third and fourth quarters of the previous fiscal year, creating a trend which has continued into the first quarter of the current fiscal year.

The US market (representing 18% of the current quarter's total software revenue) grew the annuity/maintenance revenue stream by $0.4 million in the current quarter compared to the first quarter of the previous fiscal year, offset by a slight decrease in perpetual sales. Similar to the Canadian market, we have continued to see successive increases in the annuity/maintenance license sales in the US as evidenced by the increases of 19%, 19%, 20% and 26% recorded during the first, second, third and fourth quarters of the previous fiscal year. This growth trend has continued into the first quarter of the current fiscal year.

South America (representing 24% of the current quarter's total software revenue) experienced strong growth in annuity/maintenance revenue mainly due to the inclusion of the significant amount on the long-term contract for which revenue is recognized on a cash basis. The current quarter includes the revenue amount associated with licenses and services provided in two quarters of the previous fiscal year. If we were to adjust current quarter's revenue for the described amount, we would notice that South America grew annuity/maintenance revenue by more than 30% as a result of the sales to both new and existing clients. The increase in annuity/maintenance license sales was offset by a decrease of 29% in perpetual license sales.

Eastern Hemisphere (representing 22% of the current quarter's total software revenue) grew annuity/maintenance license sales by $0.2 million, which was offset by a decrease of $3.6 million in perpetual sales. A large perpetual sale made during the first quarter of the previous fiscal year, contributed significantly to the revenue growth in the comparative period.

The movements in perpetual sales across the regions are indicative of the unpredictable nature of the timing and location of perpetual license sales. Overall, our recurring annuity/maintenance revenue base continues to be strong and growing across all regions. We will continue to focus our efforts on increasing our license sales to both existing and new clients and, supported by our product suite offering and our customer-oriented approach, we will endeavor to continue expanding our market share globally.

As footnoted in the Quarterly Performance table, in the normal course of business CMG may complete the negotiation of certain annuity/maintenance contracts and/or fulfill revenue recognition requirements within a current quarter that includes usage of CMG's products in prior quarters. This situation particularly affects contracts negotiated with countries that face increased economic and political risks leading to revenue recognition criteria being satisfied only at the time of the receipt of cash. The dollar magnitude of such contracts may be significant to the quarterly comparatives of our annuity/maintenance revenue stream and, to provide a normalized comparison, we specifically identify the revenue component where revenue recognition is satisfied in the current period for products provided in previous quarters.

DEFERRED REVENUE

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Deferred revenue at:

March 31 21,693 16,755 4,938 29%

June 30 18,779 15,326 3,453 23%

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

CMG's deferred revenue consists primarily of amounts for pre-sold licenses. Our annuity/maintenance revenue is deferred and recognized on a straight-line basis over the life of the related license period, which is generally one year or less. Amounts are deferred for licenses that have been provided and revenue recognition reflects the passage of time.

The increase in deferred revenue year-over-year as at June 30 and March 31 is reflective of the growth in annuity/maintenance license sales. The variation within the year is due to the timing of renewals of annuity and maintenance contracts that are skewed to the beginning of the calendar year which explains the decrease in the deferred revenue balance at the end of the first quarter (June 30) compared to fiscal year-end (March 31). Deferred revenue at June 30, 2012 increased compared to the same period of prior fiscal year due to both renewal of the existing and signing of the new annuity and maintenance contracts in the quarter.

PROFESSIONAL SERVICES REVENUE

CMG recorded professional services revenue of $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012, representing a decrease of $0.3 million from the amount recorded for the same period of the previous fiscal year. The first quarter of the previous fiscal year included $0.3 million in a grant received from the CMG Reservoir Simulation Foundation ("Foundation CMG") for the DRMS project which was fulfilled during that same quarter. Refer to the discussion under "Commitments, Off Balance Sheet Items and Transactions with Related Parties." The completion of this funding is the main contributor to the decrease in professional services revenue in the current quarter compared to the first quarter of the previous fiscal year.

Professional services revenue consists of specialized consulting, training, and contract research activities. CMG performs consulting and contract research activities on an ongoing basis, but such activities are not considered to be a core part of our business and are primarily undertaken to increase our knowledge base and hence expand the technological abilities of our simulators in a funded manner, combined with servicing our customers' needs. In addition, these activities are undertaken to market the capabilities of our suite of software products with the ultimate objective to increase software license sales. Our experience is that consulting activities are variable in nature as both the timing and dollar magnitude of work are dependent on activities and budgets within client companies.

(i)Includes salaries, bonuses, stock-based compensation, benefits and

CMG's total operating expenses increased by 22% for the three months ended June 30, 2012, compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year due to increases in both direct employee and other corporate costs.

DIRECT EMPLOYEE COSTS

As a technology company, CMG's largest area of expenditure is for its people. Approximately 79% of the total operating expenses in the three months ended June 30, 2012 related to staff costs, compared to 81% recorded in the comparative period of last year. Staffing levels for the first three months of the current fiscal year grew in comparison to the same period of previous fiscal year to support our continued growth. At June 30, 2012, CMG's staff complement was 164 employees, up from 144 employees as at June 30, 2011. Direct employee costs increased during the current quarter compared to the first quarter of the previous fiscal year due to staff additions, increased levels of compensation, commissions and related benefits.

OTHER CORPORATE COSTS

Other corporate costs increased by 37% for the three months ended June 30, 2012, compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year, mainly due to inclusion of the costs associated with CMG's biennial technical symposium which took place during the current quarter. Exclusive of the technical symposium costs, other corporate costs would have only increased by 21%. The remainder of the increase is attributable to the costs associated with the expansion of our office space which occurred in the third quarter of the previous fiscal year. These costs comprise additional office rent, increased computing resources and increased depreciation associated with capital spending on the new space.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

CMG maintains its belief that its strategy of growing long-term value for shareholders can only be achieved through continued investment in research and development. CMG works closely with its customers to provide solutions to complex problems related to proven and new advanced recovery processes.

The above research and development includes CMG's proportionate share of joint research and development costs on the DRMS system development of $0.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 (2011 - $0.7 million). See discussion under "Commitments, Off Balance Sheet Items and Transactions with Related Parties."

The increase of 21% in our gross spending on research and development for the three months ended June 30, 2012 demonstrates our continued commitment to advancement of our technology which is the focal part of our business strategy. Research and development costs, net of research and experimental development ("SR&ED") credits, increased by 16% during the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year, due to increased employee compensation costs, investment in computing resources and facilities costs associated with the newly leased office space.

At the same time, we had an increase in SR&ED credits driven mainly by the increases in our direct employee costs as well as the increase in the eligibility of our expenses for SR&ED credits.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Total depreciation 318 274 44 16%

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The current quarter's increase in depreciation, compared to the first quarter of the previous fiscal year, reflects the increase in our asset base, mainly as a result of increased spending on computing resources and expansion of the office space in the third quarter of the previous fiscal year.

Interest income increased in the three months ended June 30, 2012, compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year, mainly due to investing larger cash balances.

CMG is impacted by the movement of the US dollar against the Canadian dollar as approximately 68% (2011 - 75%) of CMG's revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2012 is denominated in US dollars, whereas only approximately 23% (2011 - 21%) of CMG's total costs are denominated in US dollars.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

CMG recorded a foreign exchange gain of $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012, compared to $0.04 million foreign exchange gain recorded in the same period of last year.

We have observed increased volatility in the foreign exchange rates between the US and Canadian dollars in the first quarter of the current fiscal year compared to the first quarter of the previous fiscal year, increasing the foreign exchange gain recorded in the current quarter.

Income and Other Taxes

CMG's effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2012 is reflected as 29.0% (2011 - 27.9%), whereas the prevailing Canadian statutory tax rate is now 25.0%. This is primarily due to a combination of the non-tax deductibility of stock-based compensation expense and the benefit of foreign withholding taxes being realized only as a tax deduction as opposed to a tax credit.

The benefit recorded in CMG's books on the SR&ED investment tax credit program impacts deferred income taxes. The investment tax credit earned in the current fiscal year is utilized by CMG to reduce income taxes otherwise payable for the current fiscal year and the federal portion of this benefit bears an inherent tax liability as the amount of the credit is included in the subsequent year's taxable income for both federal and provincial purposes. The inherent tax liability on these investment tax credits is reflected in the year the credit is earned as a non-current deferred tax liability and then, in the following fiscal year, is transferred to income taxes payable.

The operating profit as a percentage of total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2012 was at 49%, compared to 57% recorded in the same period of the previous fiscal year. The first quarter of the prior fiscal year included a large perpetual sale which had a positive impact on last year's operating profit. If we were to exclude this sale from the comparative number, we would notice that the operating profit margin held consistent between the two periods which demonstrates effective management of corporate costs.

Net income as a percentage of revenue decreased to 37% for the three months ended June 30, 2012, compared to 42% recorded in the same period of the previous fiscal year, mainly as a result of the decrease in operating profit offset by the positive effect of the changes in foreign exchange rates recorded in the current quarter.

We have continued to maintain our profitability by focusing our efforts on increasing license sales while, at the same time, effectively controlling our operating costs. Managing these variables will continue to be imperative to our future success.

EBITDA decreased by 10% for the three months ended June 30, 2012, compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year. Consistent with the operating profit, the inclusion of the large perpetual sale in the first quarter of the previous fiscal year also had a positive effect on EBITDA recorded in the comparative period. If we were to remove revenue from this perpetual sale from the previous year's first quarter revenue, we would notice that EBITDA recorded in the current quarter increased in comparison to the first quarter of the previous fiscal year, which provides further indication of our ability to keep growing our recurring annuity/maintenance license sales while effectively managing corporate costs in relation to this base.

OPERATING ACTIVITIES

Cash flow generated from operating activities increased by $3.8 million in the three months ended June 30, 2012, compared to the same period of last year, mainly due to the timing differences when the sales are made and when the resulting receivables are collected offset by a decrease in net income and an increase in tax payments made during the quarter.

FINANCING ACTIVITIES

Cash used in financing activities increased by $4.0 million in the three months ended June 30, 2012, compared to the same period of last year, as a result of paying larger dividends and buying back common shares.

During the three months ended June 30, 2012, CMG employees and directors exercised options to purchase 176,000 Common Shares, which resulted in cash proceeds of $1.2 million.

In the three months ended June 30, 2012, CMG paid $9.7 million in dividends, representing the following quarterly dividends:

On August 7, 2012, CMG announced the payment of a quarterly dividend of $0.16 per share on CMG's Common Shares. The dividend will be paid on September 15, 2012 to shareholders of record at the close of business on September 7, 2012. On August 7, 2012, the Board of Directors also approved the issuance of 995,000 options to purchase CMG's Common Shares in accordance with CMG's stock option plan.

On April 6, 2011, the Company announced a Normal Course Issuer Bid ("NCIB") commencing on April 7, 2011 to purchase for cancellation up to 1,636,000 of its Common Shares. During the year ended March 31, 2012, 33,000 Common Shares were purchased at market price for a total cost of $438,000.

On April 16, 2012, the Company announced a NCIB commencing on April 18, 2012 to purchase for cancellation up to 3,416,000 of its Common Shares. During the three months ended June 30, 2012, a total of 91,000 Common Shares were purchased at market price for a total cost of $1,551,000.

INVESTING ACTIVITIES

CMG's current needs for capital asset investment relate to computer equipment and office infrastructure costs, all of which will be funded internally. During the three months ended June 30, 2012, CMG expended $0.4 million on property and equipment additions, primarily composed of computing equipment and leasehold improvements, and currently has a capital budget of $2.1 million for fiscal 2013.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At June 30, 2012, CMG has $51.5 million in cash, no debt and has access to just over $0.8 million under a line of credit with its principal banker.

During the three months ended June 30, 2012, 1,897,000 shares of CMG's public float were traded on the TSX. As at June 30, 2012, CMG's market capitalization based upon its June 30, 2012 closing price of $17.37 was $649.5 million.

Commitments, Off Balance Sheet Items and Transactions with Related Parties

The Company is the operator of the DRMS research and development project (the "DRMS project"), a collaborative effort with its partners Shell International Exploration and Production BV ("Shell") and Petroleo Brasileiro S.A. ("Petrobras"), to jointly develop the newest generation of reservoir and production system simulation software. The project has been underway since 2006 and, with the ongoing support of the participants, it is expected to continue until ultimate delivery of the software. The Company's share of costs associated with the project is estimated to be $4.0 million ($1.9 million net of overhead recoveries) for the current fiscal year. CMG plans to continue funding its share of the project costs associated with the development of the newest generation reservoir simulation software system from internally generated cash flows.

CMG has very little in the way of other ongoing material contractual obligations other than for pre-sold licenses which are reflected as deferred revenue on its statement of financial position, and contractual obligations for office leases which are estimated as follows: 2013 - $1.5 million; 2014 to 2016 - $2.0 million per year; and 2017 - $1.0 million.

Business Risks and Critical Accounting Estimates

These remain unchanged from the factors detailed in CMG's 2012 Annual Report.

Common Shares 37,434

On July 13, 2005, CMG adopted a rolling stock option plan which allows the Company to grant options to its employees and directors to acquire Common Shares of up to 10% of the outstanding Common Shares at the date of grant. Based upon this calculation, at August 7, 2012, CMG could grant up to 3,743,000 stock options.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures and Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures ("DC&P") and internal control over financial reporting ("ICFR") as defined under National Instrument 52-109. These controls and procedures were reviewed and the effectiveness of their design and operation was evaluated in fiscal 2012 in accordance with the COSO control framework. The evaluation confirmed the effectiveness of DC&P and ICFR at March 31, 2012. During our fiscal year 2013, we continue to monitor and review our controls and procedures.

During the three months ended June 30, 2012, there have been no significant changes to the Company's ICFR that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the company's ICFR.

Outlook

The beginning of fiscal 2013 showed continued growth in our annuity/maintenance revenue stream with increases experienced across all geographic regions. Over 70% of our software license revenue is derived from our annuity and maintenance contracts, and with a strong renewal rate, we expect to see continued growth in this revenue base.

CMG continues to focus its resources on the development, enhancement and deployment of simulation software tools relevant to the challenges and opportunities facing its diverse customer base. While oil prices continue to fluctuate, they remain at levels that should allow our customers to move forward on projects involving various types of unconventional reserves and advanced recovery processes. The greater challenges have been with natural gas prices, which have not fared as well, and petroleum producers are faced with uncertainty related to the fears of another worldwide economic recession, political unrest in several petroleum producing countries and environmental issues that have threatened to increase the costs of development and production.

CMG's joint project to develop the newest generation of dynamic reservoir modelling systems ("DRMS Project") continued to make progress in the first quarter of fiscal 2013. The problems encountered during the stabilization period, prior to the beta release, have been identified and are currently being resolved. It is still our expectation that a beta release can be completed later this year. Additionally, we are pleased to report that Rob Eastick has been promoted to the position of Vice President, DRMS and Visualization, and will be taking on the role of Project Manager for the DRMS Project. To assist Rob with his new duties, Peter Sammon has assumed the role of Senior Representative for CMG on the Joint Venture Senior Representative Team. With these changes and the tireless efforts of the entire DRMS team, we anticipate a limited commercial release of the software by the end of calendar 2013. CMG and its partners remain committed to funding the ongoing development and to the future success of the project.

We will continue to extend our reach globally and focus our efforts on increasing our license sales to both existing and new clients. The excellent reputation behind our Company and its product suite offering will continue to enable us to grow and sustain a healthy market share while generating solid software license revenue. With our strong working capital position, we are well positioned to continue to invest in all aspects of our business to continue to grow and diversify our revenue base and to ultimately return value to our shareholders in the form of regular quarterly dividend payments and growth in share value.

The condensed consolidated financial statements as at and for the three months ended June 30, 2012 comprise CMG and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the "Company"). The Company is a computer software technology company engaged in the development and licensing of reservoir simulation software. The Company also provides professional services consisting of highly specialized support, consulting, training, and contract research activities.

Basis of Preparation:

(a) STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE:

These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"), and using the accounting policies disclosed in note 3 of the Company's annual consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended March 31, 2012.

These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis in accordance with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34, Interim Financial Reporting. Accordingly, the condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the Company's most recent annual consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended March 31, 2012.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as at and for the three months ended June 30, 2012 were authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors on August 7, 2012.

(b) BASIS OF MEASUREMENT:

The condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is the functional currency of CMG and its subsidiaries. All financial information presented in Canadian dollars has been rounded to the nearest thousand.

(d) USE OF ESTIMATES, JUDGMENTS AND ASSUMPTIONS:

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies, the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue, costs and expenses for the period. Estimates and underlying assumptions are based on historical experience and other assumptions that are considered reasonable in the circumstances and are reviewed on an on-going basis. Actual results may differ from such estimates and it is possible that the differences could be material. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected. In preparing these condensed consolidated financial statements, the significant judgments made by management in applying the Company's accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty are the same as those applied in the annual IFRS consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2012.

3. Significant Accounting Policies:

The condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's annual financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2012 prepared in accordance with IFRS applicable to those annual consolidated financial statements.

On May 23, 2012, the Board of Directors considered the merits of renewing the Company's shareholder rights plan on or before the third-year anniversary of shareholder approval of the plan and determined that it was in the best interest of the Company to continue to have a shareholder rights plan in place. Upon careful review, the Board of Directors agreed to approve an amended and restated rights plan (the "Amended and Restated Rights Plan") between the Company and Valiant Trust Company, which is similar in all respects to the existing shareholder rights plan, with the exception of certain minor amendments. The Amended and Restated Rights Plan was approved by the Company's shareholders on July 12, 2012.

(d) STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLAN:

The Company adopted a rolling stock option plan as of July 13, 2005, which was reaffirmed by the Company's shareholders on July 7, 2011, which allows it to grant options to acquire Common Shares of up to 10% of the combined outstanding Common and Non-Voting Shares at the date of grant. Based upon this calculation, at June 30, 2012, the Company could grant up to 3,739,000 stock options. Pursuant to the stock option plan, the maximum term of an option granted cannot exceed five years from the date of grant. The outstanding stock options vest as to 50% after the first year anniversary, from date of grant, and then vest as to 25% of the total options granted after each of the second and third year anniversary dates.
