Cymat reports results for Q1 of fiscal 2008

Listing: TSX

Symbol: CYM

TORONTO, Sept. 10 /CNW/ - Cymat Technologies Ltd. is pleased to report quarterly revenue of $696,213 for the first quarter of fiscal 2008 ended July 31, 2007 compared with revenue of $141,615 for the same three-month period in the prior fiscal year.

This quarterly revenue increase of approximately 400% was mainly attributable to the large order from Isaria, the supplier to Audi showrooms as well as other architectural projects throughout Europe and North America.

This revenue represents only 2 of 3 months production due to a scheduled plant shutdown to reline our induction furnaces in May. Notwithstanding this shutdown, production and related revenue returned to normal levels. Revenues are expected to grow in the next quarter with our increased capacity and newly announced orders.

The net loss for the three-month period was $1,533,278 or $0.03 per share, compared with $1,459,277 or $0.03 per share for the same period in the prior year. The net loss includes non-cash items relating to stock-based compensation of $406,055 and depreciation expense of $453,434. Excluding these non-cash items the net loss declined by 21% compared to the quarter ended July 31, 2006 and is attributable to the contribution margin resulting from increased revenue and cost containment initiatives.

Highlights for the quarter are:

-   Change in strategic focus from a research to revenue-based commercial
    operation continues to yield results with significant quarter-on-
    quarter revenue growth.
-   Plant operational improvements have yielded shorter product delivery
    times and improved productivity.
-   Automotive initiatives are promising.
-   Blast mitigation initiatives begin to gain momentum.
-   Major exclusive distribution contacts secured in Spain and Israel.

Chris Skillen, Cymat's President and CEO noted that "Cymat's strategy to
transition from research to a revenue-focused enterprise continues to yield
good results as revenues are up significantly year-over-year. The additional
Audi order and Cymat's new distribution relationships are key to growing the
company's architectural business. Progress has been made in the blast
mitigation market and we are also encouraged by progress in automotive uses
for our material."
