TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - November 10, 2010) - Novadaq® Technologies Inc. (TSX: NDQ), a developer of real-time medical imaging systems for use in the operating room, today announced 2010 third quarter revenues of $7,570,000 compared to revenues of $1,723,000 in the third quarter of 2009 and $2,646,000 in the second quarter of 2010. Recurring SPY revenues were $1,056,000 compared to $659,000 to the same period last year and $916,000 in Q2-2010, representing an increase of 60% over Q3-2009 and a 15% increase over Q2-2010. Sales of SPY® products in Q3-2010 included $5,000,000 for completing all milestones associated with the License and Development Agreement with Intuitive® Surgical, Inc.

Q3- 2010 Highlights


--  Signed a North American Sales and Marketing Agreement for SPY with
    LifeCell™ Corporation. Received $4,000,000 in fees and $1,000,000 in
    private placement funds in exchange for exclusive rights in plastic
    reconstructive, gastrointestinal and head and neck surgery. As a result
    of the agreement, going forward Novadaq will only recognize net revenues
    received from LifeCell. 

--  Restructured sales and marketing overhead resulting in approximately 15
    people being either transferred to LifeCell or reduced where
    redundancies existed. 

--  Completed the final milestone associated with the Intuitive Surgical
    License and Development Agreement to integrate SPY imaging into the da
    Vinci robot and received the final $500,000 milestone payment. According
    to the company's completed contract method of revenue recognition,
    achieving the final milestone resulted in recognizing $5,000,000 in
    completed contract sales. 

Highlights Subsequent to Quarter End

--  Executed the definitive Asset Purchase Agreement to essentially purchase
    all of the TMR assets from PLC Medical Systems, Inc., ensuring product
    supply and expanding the company's presence in international markets.

About Novadaq Technologies Inc:

Novadaq Technologies develops and markets real-time fluorescence imaging technologies for use in the operating room. The Company's primary core technology platform, SPY Imaging, provides clinically relevant, anatomic and physiologic images during a wide variety of complex open and minimally invasive surgical ("MIS") procedures. SPY empowers surgeons treating life-threatening illnesses such as breast, colon and other cancers and cardiovascular disease to more effectively treat vascular blockages and assess tissue perfusion. More than 40 peer-reviewed publications demonstrate that SPY Imaging leads to fewer post-operative complications and reduced hospital costs. The SPY Imaging System is cleared by the United States Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") for real-time use during open surgical procedures and the endoscopic implementation of SPY Imaging ("SPY Scope") is FDA cleared for real-time use in MIS. The endoscopic SPY System combines all of the capabilities of SPY Imaging with state-of-the-art high definition ("HD") white light visualization offered by conventional endoscopes. The Company's key markets include plastic reconstructive, gastrointestinal, cardiac and general surgery. To realize the full potential of its SPY Imaging technology platform, Novadaq explores technology alliances. Novadaq announced its first alliance with Intuitive, in January 2009, to integrate SPY Imaging into the 3-D HD imaging capabilities of the da Vinci® Surgical Robotic System. In addition, Novadaq entered into an exclusive, North American sales and marketing alliance with LifeCell Corporation ("LifeCell") in plastic and reconstructive, gastrointestinal and head and neck surgery in September 2010. Novadaq is the exclusive United States distributor of PLC's CO2 HEART™ LASER SYSTEM, which is used in the same cardiac procedures as the SPY System.
