Impreso, Inc. Reports Second Quarter FY2005 Results of Operations

COPPELL, TX -- 04/19/2005 -- 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, and (3) natural spring water bottling and distribution, today announced sales and earnings for the second quarter of Fiscal 2005.

Net sales for the three months ended February 28, 2005 were $18.6 million, as compared to net sales of $25.8 million in the three months ended February 29, 2004, a decrease of $7.1 million, or 27.7%. Net income decreased to a loss of $1.2 million, or $(0.23) per share, in the most recent quarter, compared with net income of $262,200, or $0.05 per share, in the prior-year period.

For the six months ended February 28, 2005, the Company reported a net loss of $2 million, or $(0.37) per share, on net sales of $38.6 million. These results compared with net income of $744,000, or $0.14 per share, on net sales of $52.5 million, in the first half of FY2004.

"Our results of operations for the first half of fiscal 2005 were very disappointing as a result of the decrease in continuous forms purchases by a significant customer. In January we began downsizing our operations and implemented cost savings measures, the full effects of which should impact our future results," stated Marshall Sorokwasz, President and Chief Executive Officer of Impreso, Inc. The timing of this reduction of sales combined with the simultaneous start up of our spring water bottling operations contributed to the material adverse affect on our financial statements. However, the long term investment in the bottled water business will maximize the efficiency of our selling force, administration, and distribution infrastructure due to opposite seasonal cycles of consumption, in summer when we may experience a slowdown in sales of paper products, the bottled water business is at its peak," concluded Mr. Sorokwasz.
