Impreso, Inc. Reports Third Quarter FY 2006 Results of Operations

COPPELL, TX -- 07/17/2006 -- 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 reported its third quarter operating results.

Net sales for the three months ended May 31, 2006, were $18 million, as compared to net sales of $20 million in the three months ended May 31, 2005, a decrease of $2 million, or 10%. Net sales for the nine months ended May 31, 2006 were $52 million, as compared to net sales of $58 million in the nine months ended May 31, 2005, a decrease of $7 million, or 11.4%.

Net loss decreased to $53,000, or $(0.01) per share, in the most recent quarter, compared with a net loss of $574,000, or $(0.11) per share, in the prior-year period. For the nine months ended May 31, 2006, the Company reported a net loss of $1 million, or $(0.19) per share, on net sales of $52 million. These results compared with a net loss of $2.5 million, or $(0.48) per share, on net sales of $58 million, in the nine months ended May 31, 2005.

"The decrease in net sales for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2006, as compared to the corresponding periods of the prior year, were attributable to the shrinking market in the continuous business forms segment of our industry and loss of customers resulting from our increased finished goods pricing," stated Marshall Sorokwasz, President and Chief Executive Officer of Impreso, Inc. "Raw material paper prices rose significantly in 2006, and we passed those increases in finished goods pricing to our customers. Competitors with larger inventories manufactured when raw material costs were lower were able to capture some of our customers with attractive pricing, but that advantage, we believe, is for the short term. We have, however, significantly decreased net losses with our higher profit margins.

"Our water bottling facility doubled its revenue in the three months ended May 31, 2006, as compared to the three months ended February 28, 2006. Except for a revised increased allocation of expenses, the water division would have had a positive cash flow in the Third Quarter 2006, and we expect we will achieve that goal in our Fourth Quarter," continued Mr. Sorokwasz. "In one month, June 2006, we increased new private label projects by approximately 24% from the prior twelve month period. Projects increased by 46% in the three months ended May 31, 2006, as compared to the twelve months ended February 28, 2006. The margins on our bottled water have been stable, and we have added the new business without discounting or disrupting the profit margins on the product."
