Inventronics Announces 2007 Q3 Results

Devalued US Dollar Creates Loss - New One Year Sales Contract Eliminates

Foreign Exchange Risks

CALGARY, Nov. 15 /CNW/ - Inventronics Limited (IVX:TSXV), a designer and manufacturer of metal enclosures for the communications, electronics and other industries in North America, today announced its 2007 third quarter financial results.

Inventronics reported sales of $5.155 million for the third quarter of 2007, which is 7% lower than the third quarter sales of $5.563 million in 2006. These sales reflect the strong telecommunications market and growing sales to new customers. However, the value of the sales was significantly reduced by the devaluation of the United States dollar. 75% of sales in the quarter were denominated in US dollars.

The net loss for the quarter ended September 30, 2007 was $327,000 or seven cents per share, compared to net earnings of $269,000 or six cents per share for the same quarter in 2006.

"The third quarter would have been a good quarter but for the dramatic negative effect of foreign exchange," said Dan Stearne, President and CEO. "On October 15 we commenced a new one year contract with our major US customer which raises our prices and sets them in Canadian currency. This eliminates virtually all of the Corporation's foreign exchange risk."
