Friday, September 19, 2008 - QI Systems Inc. (PinkSheets: Qiii ) announces that it has ceased operations as a going concern.

QI Systems Inc. (PinkSheets: Qiii ) announces that it has ceased operations as a

going concern. Since the resignation of Mr. Garman in July the company has reduced expenditures and

reviewed business operations with a view of creating a go forward strategy. No viable strategy was

found to allow the company to continue business operations.

The company has been in severe financial distress and day-to-day survival was doubtful. Current and

pending obligations exceeded $2 million, market capitalization is less than $100,000 and viable AR is

below $10,000. Current company obligations include defaults on payment of taxes and other statutory

charges. The company has been unable to pay and retain personnel critical to business survival.

Company operation could not be continued.

The company also announces that all its business assets have been surrendered to creditors in partial

settlement of company obligations. Assets at the corporate head office in Dallas were surrendered to

the landlord for settlement of unpaid rent. All other business assets have been surrendered to secured

creditors. The company has no current assets to apply toward settlement of remaining debts or

obligations.

Although QI has failed, customers and products of the company will not be abandoned. A core group

from the original team has resolved to continue support for customers and products of the company.

Working with the secured creditors, the team will continue product support and development. Since

contact details like phone numbers may change please address inquiries to

products@qisystemsinc.com.

The company cannot meet its reporting obligations per SEC regulations and will not attempt to do so.

At this point QI Systems Inc. is listed and trading only on PinkSheets. The above referenced team has

also made some financial commitments to QI Systems Inc. and is discussing a potential ongoing

relationship with the company. Inquiries about the company should be sent by email to

info@qisystemsinc.com.

The company web address at www.qisystemsinc.com will be retained and future announcements about

the company will be linked to that site.
