OAKLAND,
N.J., — Media Sciences International, Inc. , the leading independent
manufacturer of solid ink sticks and color toner cartridges for office
color printers, today provided a preview snapshot of its fourth quarter
ended June 30, 2006.
Media Sciences will be hosting on
Wednesday, September 13, 2006, an earnings conference call to discuss

Financial Preview
Media
Sciences expects to again post record sales, earnings, and cash flow
for its fiscal fourth quarter ended June 30, 2006. Based on its
unaudited results, revenues for the quarter totaled approximately $5.9
million. This represents an increase of approximately 25 percent over
the prior year’s quarter and more than a 10 percent sequential increase
over the company’s prior fiscal third quarter. Revenues for the fiscal
year ended June 30, 2006 totaled approximately $21.3 million, an
increase of approximately 19% versus the prior fiscal year. In May
2006, the Company reported record revenues, earnings and cash flow
generated by operations for its fiscal third quarter ended March 31,
2006. On revenues of $5.4 million, the company generated net income of
$0.5 million and EBITDA of $1.0 million in its fiscal third quarter.
For the three months ended March 31, 2006, income from continuing
operations was $0.5 million or $0.05 per share basic and $0.04 per
share diluted. For the fourth quarter, color toner product revenues
increased by approximately 45 percent over the same period in 2005. For
the same comparative periods, solid ink product revenues increased by
approximately 28 percent. On the faster pace of growth for the
Company’s toner-based products, Michael Levin, Media Sciences’ CEO,
commented, “Today, Media Sciences manufactures solid ink for use in all
currently available solid ink printers. As a result, until a new solid
ink printer is brought to market, we have no new solid ink products to
develop, other than those in our growing industrial marking space.
Conversely, today the Company only offers products for a small fraction
of the substantially larger toner-based color laser market. Because our
business strategy focuses on alignment of the Company’s development
efforts with the broader business color market, our toner sales growth
has and, we expect, will continue to outpace our solid ink sales growth
for the foreseeable future.” On the quarter’s preview overall, Mr.
Levin commented, “Over the past year, Media Sciences has strengthened
its product portfolio and its team and infrastructure to continue the
Company’s growth at an accelerated pace in fiscal year 2007. We have
the talent in house and the foundation in place to leverage and seize
the tremendous opportunity that exists in the $7 billion business color
printing supplies market, which, according to Lyra Research analysts,
is expected to reach $15 billion by 2009. Media Sciences will afford
more and more printer users with the opportunity to choose high quality
color supplies at a better price, and they will continue to do so with
great confidence in the Media Sciences® brand.” -
