Enablence Technologies Inc. ("Enablence" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:ENA), a leading supplier of fibre-to-the-home (FTTH) equipment for triple-play residential and business services and optical components and subsystems for access, metro and long haul markets, announced today that it has filed a preliminary short form prospectus with the securities regulatory authorities in the Provinces of British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick in connection with a best efforts offering of common shares of the Corporation (the "Offering"). The net proceeds of the Offering are for working capital, particularly to strengthen the Corporation's balance sheet, expansion of product lines, vertical integration and for general corporate, research and development, and marketing activities.

The Offering will be led by Paradigm Capital Inc. with a syndicate comprised of Haywood Securities Inc. and Raymond James Ltd. (collectively, the "Agents").

"The Corporation has the necessary financial resources to execute on its current activities. This Offering, however, will take Enablence to the next level in the Company's growth" says Arvind Chhatbar, the Corporation's Chief Executive Officer. "Although current market conditions are difficult, they present several opportunities for growing and strengthening Enablence's position in several product areas and geographical markets. This financing will provide us with the means to augment the initiatives and growth of the last few quarters by broadening our customer and market reach in FTTH systems and components" adds Mr. Chhatbar.

The Offering is subject to regulatory approval including approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
