Integrated Paving Concepts Inc.: 2006 Second Quarter Financial Results

Integrated Paving Concepts Inc. (TSX: IPA) released today the unaudited financial results for the three and six month periods ending June 30, 2006.

The Company's income before interest, depreciation and income taxes ("EBITDA") for the three months ended June 30, 2006 decreased by 56% to $406,000 over the same 2005 period. On a year to date basis, the loss before interest, depreciation and income taxes increased to $630,000 from $179,000. The term "EBITDA" is not a financial measure recognized by Canadian generally accepted accounting principals ("GAAP") and does not have standardized meanings prescribed by GAAP. Management cautions investors that EBITDA should not replace net income or loss as an indicator of performance, or cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities as a measure of the Company's liquidity and cash flows. Management considers EBITDA to be a useful measure in assessing ongoing performance.

Total revenues for the second quarter were down 21% compared to the second quarter of 2005. On a year to date basis, revenues have declined 16% from the previous year.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Revenue was impacted by the following:

- The Company is exposed to risk due to fluctuations in the exchange rates of the U.S. dollar and to a lesser extent, the euro. Compared to 2005 exchange rates, there was a negative impact on 2006 revenue for the quarter of $400,000 and for the year of $540,000. Adjusting for the fluctuations in exchange rates, revenues declined 13% and 8% for the quarter and the year to date respectively.

- The decline in coating volumes in North America is predominantly in the northeastern United States which has had a very slow start to the season due to wet weather. Coating volumes in this area were down 48% compared to the prior year. Volumes in all other North American regions were up 5%. Management expects sales in the northeast to recover to last year's levels on a full year basis.

- In North America, DuraTherm square footage is flat compared to the first half of 2005. Sales to the largest DuraTherm customer, representing 31% of DuraTherm volumes in the first half of 2005, are down 44% due primarily to the timing of additional projects. Sales for installations of less than 2,000 square feet (which are typically used for trial and demonstration purposes), representing 26% of volumes in the first half of 2005, are down 56%. Sales for installations larger than 2,000 square feet (which typically involve multiple intersections and are not trials or demonstrations), representing 43% of volumes in the first half of 2005, have increased by 59%. In general, management is pleased by the market acceptance of DuraTherm as evidenced by the shift from trial installations to larger projects. However, year to date growth objectives for the product have not been met as many larger road reconstruction projects are experiencing budget pressures due to escalating costs. Asphalt costs have increased by approximately 50% over the past year due primarily to a near doubling of the price of petroleum-based liquid asphalt, resulting in many projects being delayed, cancelled or reduced in size.

- North American equipment revenue is down 45% through the first half of the year and is generally in line with expectations. The Company continues to be focused on growing its existing base of Licensed Applicators rather than adding new applicators. In addition, the SR-60 Pavement Reheater is now in its fifth year of production and sales of this machine have slowed.

- Total international revenues are in line with expectation after adjusting out the negative impact of foreign exchange fluctuations.

Gross profit margins remained relatively flat to last year at 56.6% for the quarter and 55.5% for the year to date. The small change in gross profit margin compared to the prior year is a function of shifts in geographic and product mix.

Total expenses declined 5.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 4.1% for the 6 months then ended compared to the previous year. This decline is largely due to the impact of foreign exchange gains in the current year compared to losses in the prior year.

At June 30, 2006, the Company's financial position remains strong with $4.1million (June 30, 2005 - $3.9 million) in working capital and $828,000 (June 30, 2005 - $964,000) in cash and cash equivalents. Included in prepaid expenses is $205,000 of costs incurred related to the proposed privatization of the Company. If the privatization transaction does not proceed, these costs will be expensed.
