Joseph Tassone, President and CEO of Syscan said "The third quarter results continues to show that our strategy to accelerate growth by combining both organic sales increases and acquisitions, is working. Although the benefits of a very large order in the first half was not repeated this quarter, we continue to enjoy good sales growth, year over year. The outlook for the remainder of fiscal 2008 is for continued strong, year over year growth.

We are particularly pleased to see improvements in operating results with the Company posting a net loss of $200,384 for this year when compared to a loss of $356,061 for the third quarter of the previous fiscal year. EBITDA improvement for the quarter was even more dramatic at a loss of $117,627 versus a loss of $356,061, representing a 67% improvement. This is a direct reflection of increased depreciation expenses associated with acquisitions that are non-cash items, affecting the bottom line but obscuring improved of operating results."
