| We’ve Heard Your Feedback |
 |

 |
| |
We appreciate all the feedback from last year’s User Conference survey. Our customers have consistently
said that although attendance at past conferences have been very valuable a more hands on approach would be beneficial. So this years conference will take on a whole new format. Not only will this years conference spread out over several days, it will also offer users a more hands on approach with a focus on user training. Our training room will be set up with workstations or you can bring a laptop for yourself if you prefer.
So mark your calendars. Minotaur’s annual User Conference will be held on November 5, 6 and 7 at our
Headquarters in Brampton, Ontario.
As always, this event is covered under your annual support agreement and is open to all members of your
organization.
Whether it is new features, training or networking with other Minotaur customers, we will do our best to ensure
your attendance is rewarding and enjoyable.
Registration will take place by phone and email later in the summer. Space will be limited so be sure to reserve
your seat. |

| Ecology Taxes
Tracking Fees Based on the Packaging of Items |
 |
| |
| Do you charge your customers 15¢ per case of bottled juice when shipping to Alberta but another fee
when shipping to Newfoundland? Don’t manage this manually... |
| |
| For customers who need to charge and remit tax based on the packaging of the items being shipped, we offer
an ecology tax configuration. Items are assigned an ecology stub. When an order is entered, the system will
automatically add tax based on the province of the ship to customer and the ecology stub of the item being
sold. This tax will be accrued in a liability account similar to the handling of PST. For more information on
adding this configuration to your system, please contact your project manager. |

Case Labels — Skid Labels — Warehouse Racking Labels |
| |
Printing labels with scannable barcodes is a giant step towards increasing warehouse efficiencies,
improving inventory management and product traceability control.
In order to use hand held abilities fully in an automated warehouse, all items need to be
barcoded. Some of your items may already be arriving with appropriate barcodes. For
other items, you may need to print barcoded labels. In Minotaur, labels can be printed at receiving,
work order entry, production in addition to other areas. Once product is properly labeled you
can utilized Minotaur’s hand held abilities to receive, ship and transfer product, scan raw materials
to work orders or finished goods into inventory in addition to performing inventory counts. |
 |
|
| |
At Minotaur we continue to strive to bring you solutions to handle all aspects of your business.
For some time now, we have been offering solutions involving the generation of labels containing
barcodes, graphics and product information. While we can work with other label printers, we have found
Datamax Printers offer the functionality and reliability our customers count on. Now as part of the Value Partner
Program, Minotaur can offer you exceptional pricing as well as the continued high level of service you deserve.

| Whether you need to replace an existing printer or improve an existing process through the introduction of label
printing, Minotaur can help. For process inquires, please contact your project manager. For current printer pricing,
please call Vince Cappello. |
