Record Revenues Of Dollars 3.0M* For Conporec Inc. For The First Quarter Of 2008

Sorel-Tracy, May 13th, 2008 – Conporec Inc. (“Conporec” or the “Company”) announces today its results for the first quarter ending on March 31th, 2008. For the period, the Company generated records revenues of $3.0M compared to revenues of $1.8M for the same period in 2007, an increase of 66.4 %.

(1) Earning before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization
(2) Excluding non recurrent debt redemption, with which the net result was $5.9M

This increase in revenues combined with a 15 % reduction in general sales and administration costs has improved net results by 40%, i.e.: an increase of $400 000 in comparison with the same period of last year (excluding the non-recurrent debt redemption profit). The loss for this first quarter is $ $0.6M (0.05$ loss per share on a fully diluted base). 

The increase in revenues is attributable to the combined production capacity increase of the Sorel-Tracy and Becancour facilities and to the Mindarie Regional Council Recovery Facility(Australia) design/built contract.

The business development team focused its efforts on several proposals and requests for qualification. In Canada, Conporec has been selected and has entered into an exclusive negotiation for a design/build and operations contract of a source separated organics facility. In France, Conporec is in the final stages in four different requests for proposals.

« The increased revenues encourage us to maintain the new production targets at our various facilities, and the focus on our business plan founded on the deployment of our technologies. With the completion of the first operating phase at the Becancour facility, together with the new contracts at the Sorel-Tracy facility and the design/build contract for the Australian facility, we should be in a position to further improve our profit margin», stated the CEO, Mr. Jean Beaudoin.
