Emtec, Inc. Reports Results for the Year Ended March 31, 2005

Net Income Increased by 346.3% for the Year Ended March 31, 2005 Compared to the Year Ended March 31, 2004


TRENTON, N.J., June 29, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- Emtec, Inc. (OTCBB:ETEC), a systems integrator providing technology solutions to enable customers to effectively use and manage data to grow their business, today announced its results for the year ended March 31, 2005.

Net income for the year ended March 31, 2005 rose to $2.87 million, or $0.37 per share compared to a net income of $642,988, or $0.09 per share, for the year ended March 31, 2004, an increase of 346.3 percent.

Total revenues, which include services and consulting revenues and procurement revenues, increased by 12.5 percent or $12.53 million, to $112.70 million for the year ended March 31, 2005, compared to $100.17 million for the year ended March 31, 2004. Income from continuing operation before income taxes for the year ended March 31, 2005, rose to $3.60 million, from $741,433 for the year ended March 31, 2004. These increased revenues and net income are mainly attributable to computer roll-out projects for various school districts in Georgia and Florida, and revenue growth in the company's commercial customer base as well as to continuous cost containment efforts undertaken by the company.

The reported income from continuing operations before income taxes for the year ended March 31, 2005 includes a one-time charge of $470,000 associated with the sub-lease of the New York office. Without this one-time charge, income from continuing operations before income taxes for the year ended March 31, 2005 would have been approximately $4.07 million, compared to an income from continuing operations before taxes of $741,433 for the year ended March 31, 2004, an increase of 449.3 percent.

John Howlett, CEO, noted, "We are pleased to deliver another year of strong operating results and proud to report the sixth consecutive quarter of profitability for our company. I would caution, however, that our performance for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005, and particularly its fourth fiscal quarter, may not be indicative of our future operating results."
