EX-99.1 2 v057515_ex99-1.txt ALLIANCE DISTRIBUTORS HOLDING INC. REPORTS THIRD QUARTER 2006 FINANCIAL RESULTS Year-to-Date Sales Increased 15% over Previous Year For Immediate Release New York, New York - November 14, 2006 - Alliance Distributors Holding Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: ADTR), a distributor of interactive video games and gaming products, announced its financial results for the third quarter of 2006. Net sales for the quarter increased 14% to $15.4 million compared to $13.6 million in the third quarter of 2005. The company incurred a net loss of $283,000, or $0.01 per share, compared to net income of $222,000, or $0.00 per share, in the 2005 period. Approximately $100,000 of the pre-tax loss is attributable to a litigation settlement and approximately $150,000 is associated with the relocation of the Company's headquarters, warehouse and showroom, as well as the opening of a new warehouse and showroom in Florida. The Company's profit margin was reduced by extensive sales incentives to drive traffic to its new showroom facilities in advance of the holiday sales season. For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, net sales increased 15% to $42.0 million, compared to $36.7 million for the same period in 2005. The company incurred a net loss of $304,000, or $0.01 per share, compared to a net loss of $243,000, or $0.01 per share in the 2005 period. The net loss for the 2006 period reflects a $257,000 charge in the first quarter for transaction costs of a proposed acquisition that was not consummated, as well as the events referred to in the preceding paragraph. The loss was partially offset by approximately $105,000 of pre-tax income from insurance proceeds recognized in the second quarter for assets in excess of the book value of these assets. Jay Gelman, Chairman and CEO, said, "During the quarter we completed the relocation of our corporate offices, wholesale showroom, and warehouse to 1160 Commerce Ave in the Bronx. The new facility gives us almost 10,000 additional square feet of operating space, and allows us to be more efficient in selling to and servicing our growing customer base. We tripled the size of our wholesale showroom and gave our customers more product selection and better presentation." "We also expanded into a new market by opening our new facility at 2310 NW 102nd Pl. Miami, Florida. This new location includes a wholesale showroom, warehouse and offices. Although the Florida location has only been operational since mid September we are excited to see that a strong base of potential business is already developing."
