Syscan Reports Improved First Quarter Results


MONTREAL, CANADA - (CCNMatthews - Nov. 29, 2006) - Syscan International Inc. (TSX VENTURE:SYA) today reported its results for the quarter ended September 30, 2006.

Sales for the three-month period were $325,728 compared to $253,191 in the previous year, an increase of 28.6 %. The Company's strategy to leverage pricing and costs paid off as gross margin rose to 55.4% compared to 35.5% in the previous year.

Operating expenses were $279,559 compared to $388,864 in fiscal 2005, down 28.1%. The decrease was largely attributable to a decline of $52,943 in administrative expenses due to lower tenancy and share based remuneration costs; as well as a decline of $23,570 in foreign exchange losses as the Canadian dollar remained steady against its U.S. counterpart.

The increase in sales, higher margins and lower administrative costs all contributed to the Company cutting its operating loss 67% to $98,921 for the quarter compared to an operating loss of $299,018 in the previous year.

As of September 30, 2006, the Company had net working capital of $697,638 and there was no bank debt.

Axel Striefler, President and CEO of Syscan said, "Our first quarter indicates that we are on the right track operationally and have sufficient current resources. With anticipated implementations in the food, pharmaceutical and military sectors, we expect a much improved performance this year."
