EX-99.1 CHARTER 2 impresoinc8k77727.htm IMPRESO, INC. PRESS RELEASE Exhibit 99.1

Impreso Reports Earnings per Share Up 58% in FY2004

COPPELL, TX -- 12/15/2004 -- Impreso, Inc. (NASDAQ: ZCOM), which through its subsidiaries is involved in (1) the manufacture and distribution of paper and film hard copy imaging products for commercial and home office applications; (2) the development of eCommerce initiatives; (3) the natural spring bottled water business, today announced sales and earnings for FY2004.

Net income increased 64% to approximately $1 million, or $0.19 per share, in the most recent fiscal year, compared with $618,000, or $0.12 per share, in FY 2003, and $1.7 million, or $0.32 per share, in FY 2002. Gross profits decreased approximately 1% to $13.7 million in FY2004, versus approximately $13.8 million in the year ended August 31, 2003. Net sales for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2004, decreased approximately 11.3%, to $104 million, compared with net sales of $117 million in the previous fiscal year.

For the three months ended August 31, 2004, the Company lost $78,900 or $0.02 per share, on net sales of $26 million. These results compared with net loss of $228,000, or $0.04 per share, and net sales of $28 million, in the corresponding period of the prior year.

Earnings per share for Fiscal 2004 increased 58% partially due to a non-reoccurring event, a deferred tax benefit resulting from the sale of the Company's California buildings. Other contributing factors were a reduction in interest expense due to materially reduced inventory, and a lower SGA as a percentage of net sales, due to a cost savings plan implemented in September 2003 which included expense and commission reductions; layoffs; a hiring and wage freeze; reduced vacation and 401(k) benefits; and a prohibition on overtime.

"In the stock tab paper converting segment of our business, we have experienced some significant customer losses with the increasingly competitive atmosphere of this mature and declining portion of our sales. Subsequent to Fiscal year end 2004, September, October, and November 2004, purchases by our largest customer decreased significantly. The reduction is expected to be equivalent to approximately $20 million in annual sales," commented Marshall Sorokwasz, President and Chief Executive Officer of Impreso, Inc.

"Looking forward to Fiscal 2005, I am very excited about the start of production at our water bottling facility in the Ouachita Mountains near Mt. Ida, Arkansas," continued Mr. Sorokwasz. "This is especially significant as we begin the diversification of our product offerings out of hard copy imaging supplies. The introduction of water into our paper business is an ideal companion sale as the distribution model for our water products is very similar to our hard copy imaging products. Many customers who are currently purchasing from us also buy bottled water. The weight and dimensions of a pallet of water and paper, and therefore the costs, are comparable. Since we are already delivering our customers the paper products they require, we can piggyback a second sale of water on the same truck. Bottled water sales should expand our revenue from our existing customers."

"The bottled water business has experienced phenomenal growth in the past few years. We plan to effectively compete in the wholesale market by offering a quality product at a competitive price point," concluded Mr. Sorokwasz.
