MONTREAL,
May , 2006 — Adsero Corp. (“Adsero”), a North American printer
cartridge re-manufacturer, announced its annual results for the
year-ended December 31, 2006. Revenues for the year ended December 31,
2005 were $27,841,164 with Net Loss of $7,387,429. Included in this
loss, the Company recorded one time charges of $5,009,846 including a
goodwill impairment charge of $3,194,722. After adjusting for these
charges, the Company reported earnings before interest, taxes and
depreciation of $90,105 for the year. The Company also announced
that it has obtained an extension related to its banking facility until
July 31, 2006, and in addition, it has received a term sheet from one
of the major banks in Canada in relation to a banking facility to
replace National Bank. The term sheet is subject to due diligence,
which should commence shortly.“As announced in January, we have been
working to streamline our business in order to capitalize on the supply
agreement with Turbon giving us access to high quality products at a
much lower cost. The industry has become extremely price competitive at
present, and we are moving to position the Company to compete within
the new parameters of the market.“As part of this transition, during
the second half of 2005 and the first half of 2006, we felt it
necessary to carry additional costs in our system while we moved
production in some of our high volume products into Turbon’s
manufacturing system. We commenced the downsizing of our infrastructure
with the first step in December 2005 and the second step in March 2006.
The changes will continue in order to optimize the operations of our
Company.“As we move forward, we will continue to streamline our
operations to realize on the capabilities available under the supply
agreement. The past year has been a major transition period, due not
only to the change in the way we do business but also due to the
strengthening of the Canadian dollar. Since our production plant is in
Canada, we have been negatively impacted by the strong Canadian dollar.
As we shift production to lower cost plants and realign our existing
cost structure we expect to see the benefits. We are proactively
positioning the company to be able to compete as a leader and
consolidator within the industry, which has changed significantly over
the last 18 months. In addition, we are establishing a strong
foundation to complete our original objectives of strategic business
growth through acquisitions and new businesses initiatives. There are
some very aggressive and exciting mandates we are presently working on
which I look forward to announcing in the imminent future,” stated
Yvon Leveille, President and CEO of Adsero Corp.
