Impreso Reports First Quarter FY 2006 Sales and Earnings

COPPELL, TX -- 01/17/2006 -- 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 first quarter of Fiscal 2006.

Net sales decreased to $18 million in the First Quarter of Fiscal 2006, from $20 million in the prior year period, a decrease of $2.1 million or approximately 10.7%.

Gross profit increased from $980,000 in the three months ended November 30, 2004 to $1.6 million in the First Quarter 2006. Our gross profit margin increased to 9 % in the three months ended November 30, 2005, as compared to 4.9 % in the prior corresponding period.

Net loss decreased to ($334,787), or ($0.06) per share in the most recent quarter, compared with ($760,037), or ($0.14) per share, in the prior-year period.

"The increase in gross profit and gross profit margin for the three month period ended November 30, 2005, as compared to the prior year period, was a result of successful implementation of significant portions of the cost reduction savings plan, including a finished goods price increase in the third quarter of Fiscal 2005, a further reduction in inventory, selling a plant, and a leaner workforce," stated Marshall Sorokwasz, President and Chief Executive Officer of Impreso, Inc. "From the quarter ended February 29, 2005, we have successively reduced our net losses each quarter, and are encouraged by these results since we have not completed implementation of all the elements of the plan, such as selling our West Virginia buildings. Subsequent to this reporting period, in December 2005, another element was accomplished by the subleasing of space at our Chambersburg, PA facility."
