NORTHCORE ANNOUNCES NEW KUKLAMOO STRATEGIC RELATIONSHIP

Family deal portal secures partnership with KnotGenie Canada

Toronto, Ontario - Sept 12, 2012 - Northcore Technologies Inc. (TSX: NTI; OTCBB: NTLNF), a global provider of asset management and social commerce solutions is pleased to announce a new strategic partnership between its portfolio company, Kuklamoo.com ("Kuklamoo") and KnotGenie.
Kuklamoo is a family information Web destination and national deal site. Its goal is to provide young families with relevant, current, lifestyle information and access to specially curated, high- value deals with savings averaging between 30 and 90 percent.
KnotGenie is a unique grooming product that has received wide acclaim through regional and national media. It has been featured in US Weekly, on the Today Show with Hoda Kotb and Kourtney Kardashian and most recently on the Marilyn Denis show: http://www.marilyn.ca/mobile/segment.aspx?segid=37335.
The partnership is expected to expand to include other items that will be introduced under the
KnotGenie banner in the near future.
"Knot Genie Canada is pleased to announce the long term partnership with Kuklamoo and Shops of Kuklamoo" said Ian Bain Vice President Sales and Marketing. "Our first featured deal was the strongest promotional program offered to date in Canada. The Knot Genie will be a regular item on Shops of Kuklamoo and is available in all colours and sizes. Working with team at Kuklamoo has been a pleasure. The execution of the promotion was handled professionally and we look forward to developing this relationship."
"As we continue to grow Kuklamoo, it is important that we align ourselves with high quality partners and products ," said Amit Monga, CEO of Northcore Technologies. "We believe that the partnership with the team at KnotGenie is consistent with this goal. The family deal segment has been underserved and Kuklamoo will help remedy this problem. We will keep our Stakeholders apprised of our progress as we continue to build this exciting new property. "
The growth opportunity for a family focused daily commerce site is significant, with it currently representing only a small portion of the overall segment sales of over $3 billion dollars annually. The market has taken notice of this potential, with family focussed daily deal site Zulily recently
