Impreso, Inc. Reports Second Quarter FY2006 Results of Operations

COPPELL, TX -- 04/12/2006 -- 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 second quarter of Fiscal 2006.

Net sales for the three months ended February 28, 2006 were $16.1 million, as compared to net sales of $18.6 million in the three months ended February 28, 2005, a decrease of $2.5 million, or 13.5%. Net sales for the six months ended February 28, 2006 were $34 million, as compared to net sales of $38.6 million in the six months ended February 28, 2005, a decrease of $4.6 million, or 12%.

Net loss decreased to $616,000, or $(0.12) per share, in the most recent quarter, compared with a loss of $1.2 million, or $(0.23) per share, in the prior-year period. For the six months ended February 28, 2006, the Company reported a net loss of $951,000, or $(0.18) per share, on net sales of $34 million. These results compared with a net loss of $2 million, or $(0.37) per share, on net sales of $38.6 million, in the first half of FY2005.

"Our results of operations for the first half of fiscal 2006 reflect the company's continuing struggle to stabilize as a result of the decrease in purchases by a significant customer in Fiscal Year 2005," stated Marshall Sorokwasz, President and Chief Executive Officer of Impreso, Inc. "Although a substantial number of elements in the company's recovery plan have been completed, a few of the longer lead time activities, such as subleasing portions of our unused real estate, have been consummated in Calendar 2006."

"The paper market has tightened dramatically since January 2006, which has boosted profit margins," continued Mr. Sorokwasz, "and our bottled water business is entering its busiest season of the year. This will be the first full season that our operations and marketing personnel are fully prepared to aggressively market our new product segment. We are also introducing new packaging options in the bottled water division, such as a sport top and thicker bottle, for certain end-user convenience."
