Listing: TSX
Symbol: CYM

TORONTO, Dec. 13 /CNW/ - Cymat Technologies Ltd (symbol CYM, TSX) today reported revenue of approximately $0.1 million for the second quarter ended October 31, 2010, compared with revenue of approximately $0.4 million for the same period in the prior fiscal year.

The net loss for the quarter was $1.5 million compared to $1.3 million for the same period in the prior year.

Highlights for the quarter were:

• On September 9, 2010, the Company announced the appointment of David Fowler as its new President and Chief Operating Officer. Mr. Fowler was Group Vice President of Woodbridge Foam Corporation and brings extensive executive leadership experience with particular expertise in technical foam products with long sales cycles.
• Significant progress was made in the blast mitigation and the military arena with the Company continuing to work very closely with OEM's, armor integrators and US officials on specific retrofit programs. The Company has been diligently working with its military partners ensuring that their dynamic timelines and high standards are met during their evaluation phase of each program.
• On August 11, 2010 Cymat shareholders approved (the "Approval") the conversion of subscription receipts into common shares and common share purchase warrants issued as part of the private placement that closed on April 19, 2010. As a result of the Approval, Cymat issued 3,912,388 new common shares and warrants and the net proceeds previously held in escrow were paid to the Company.
• On November 30th, 2010 the Company reported its architectural product Alusion will be utilized on the construction of the National September 11 Memorial Museum at the World Trade Center site in New York. At more than 55,000 square feet this project represents the single largest Alusion installation to date.

"We are very pleased with the progress made this year with our commercialization activities," said Michael Liik, Cymat's Executive Chairman. He added, "The inclusion of our Alusion product in such high profile projects as the 911 Memorial Museum in New York and the Vanke Center in China should serve to accelerate the penetration of our material into other high end applications."

"The on-going integration of SmartMetal™ by several military vehicle OEM's and armour integrators into their specific IED solutions continues to show positive results," said David Fowler, Cymat's new President and COO. He went on to say that "We are optimistic that these commercialization initiatives will continue to gain momentum through the remainder of the year."
