Mindready Solutions Reports Third Quarter 2006 Results

Mindready Solutions Inc. (TSX: MNY), a leading supplier of innovative solutions for test and embedded systems, today reported its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2006.

Sales for the third quarter of 2006 were $5.1 million, an increase of $1.9 million compared to $3.2 million for the same period in 2005. This increase is mainly driven by the sales generated by the businesses acquired during fiscal 2005, Specialized Test Engineering Inc. in Colorado and Radical Systems, Inc. in Alabama, sales from our newly launched product, the Universal Radio Tester (URT), and the increase in sales generated by Mindready's subsidiary based in Northern Ireland.

The third quarter of 2006 ended with operating losses before amortization, interest, exchange gains, stock-based compensation and non-recurring items of $34,000 compared to operating losses of $561,000 for the corresponding period in 2005. This improvement is mainly driven by the cost reduction efforts undertaken the last year, which brought sales and administrative expenses from 44% to 28% of sales. However, the third quarter of 2006 ended with a net loss of $631,000, or $0.02 per share, compared to a net loss of $1.04 million, or $0.08 per share, for the corresponding period in 2005.

"We're pleased to report meaningful progress in the commercialization of the URT launched in June 2006. This RF generator, jointly marketed with National Instruments is the only generator that can emulate about all public radio signals in the world such as AM, FM, RDS, XM®, Sirius®, HD Radio® (IBOC) and Digital Audio Broadcast (DAB) and has attracted first orders from 7 of the 20 largest radio manufacturers in the world and proposals requests from many more. We interpret this reaction, which surpasses our estimates, to mean that our product meets a growing need not addressed by the market and benefits from the explosive growth in digital radios worldwide," said Marc Lamy, President and Chief Executive Officer.
