OTTAWA, April 30 /CNW Telbec/ - Thermal Energy International Inc. (TSX-V: TMG) (www.thermalenergy.com) today announced its financial results for the third quarter of Fiscal Year 2007 for the period ending February 28, 2007. Thermal Energy recorded revenues of $108,199 for Q3 with a net loss of $520,155 ($0.01/share). This compared to revenue of $655,010 and a net loss of $643,593 ($0.01/share) for the same period a year earlier. Complete financial results are available on SEDAR (www.sedar.com) and on our web site. "Ongoing delays in closings, largely due to the decision making process for capital expenditures by prospective customers continue to impact this year's revenues which will lag behind last year's record levels despite our anticipation of a strong closing quarter," said Thermal Energy President and CEO Tim Angus, "However, we are also very pleased by major breakthroughs in the third quarter with the signing of two contracts in the United States, both at sites of Fortune 500 companies." "These contracts give us our largest backlog ever, in excess of $4 million, which positions us for a strong fourth quarter and virtually assures us of a record year for fiscal 2008," said Mr. Angus. Highlights - $1.4 million-plus heat recovery/energy saving contract signed Dec. 1, 2006, with a U.S. Fortune 500 food and beverage company; - $2.5 million-plus energy efficiency contract signed January 31, 2007 with a Global 500 company's industrial manufacturing facility in the U.S; - Pipeline of qualified sales prospects grew to $50 million-plus in the quarter in addition to contracts converted from the pipeline; - Closed a non-brokered private placement during the quarter for $778,639. In order to assist our customers in the decision making process for capital expenditures and provide alternatives to difficult capital allocations, Thermal Energy has developed the Thermal Alternate Utility Delivery (AUD) Program which provides customers with innovative financing options based on the energy savings from proposed projects. "We believe Thermal AUD will help expedite contract closings for a number of proposed projects, which would otherwise be competing for once-a-year capital allocations," said Mr. Angus. "A number of these proposals involve combinations of our FLU-ACE(R) waste heat recovery technology and our recently acquired DRY-REX(TM) low temperature biomass drying system in our traditional markets such as pulp and paper and the rapidly growing biomass energy market which we see as a major driver of business for years to come."
