QUEBEC CITY, May 30 /CNW Telbec/ - Amadeus International Inc.
(TSX-V: Aii), a pioneer and leading provider of Enterprise Quality and
Compliance Management software solutions, today announced its results of its
third quarter ended March 31, 2008.
Amadeus' revenues have decreased by 52% to $243,127 for the quarter ended
March 31, 2008, compared with $501,623 for the corresponding period last year.
For the first nine months of fiscal 2008, revenues have decreased by 36% to
$980,421, compared with $1,539,436 for the same period a year earlier. The
Company incurred a net loss from Continuing Operations of $457,383, or
$0.02 per share in the third quarter of fiscal 2008, compared to a net loss
from Continuing Operations of $ 550,609 or $0,31 per share post consolidation
in the corresponding quarter.
"Despite the cost containment measures put in place over the last few
quarters, the relative weakness of revenues of the last quarter and the last
9 months does not make the use of the going concern basis appropriate, ", said
Yves Leblanc, President and CEO of Amadeus International. "Management also
observed the emergence of consolidation activities in the Governance, Risk and
Compliance software market throughout the world. Consequently, over the last
months, the Company has engaged into discussions with several companies to
evaluate one or multiple business combinations, the sale of the Company or its
assets. The Company is also discussing with financial partners to solidify its
financial structure, mainly its short term financial position. It is
impossible at this time to project the results of these initiatives and there
is no assurance that the expected results from these initiatives will
materialize." added Mr. Leblanc.-------------------------------------------------------------------------

(*) Definition of EBITDA: Earnings (loss) before financial expenses,
income tax on earning and amortization. EBITDA is presented as an
additional measurement of earnings in order to assist the reader to
establish the Company's ability to generate cash from activities and
to acquit its financial charges. It is also an indicator generally
used for purposes of evaluation. Canadian generally accepted
accounting principles give no standard interpretation to this
measurement and it cannot therefore be compared to similar
measurements used by other enterprises. For the quarter ended on
March 31 , 2008, the $459,428 loss before financial expense is
adjusted with the amortization charge of $58,634, resulting in an
EBITDA of ($400,794)
Current assets amounted to $587,131 as at March 31, 2008, versus
$1,363,410 as at June 30, 2007. Current liabilities totalled $945,741 as at
March 31, 2008, versus $919,389 as at June 30, 2007. The decrease in assets
mostly results from the used of cash to finance operating activities.About Amadeus International
