ENGINEERING.com Incorporated Announces Q3 2010 Results

TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (MARKET WIRE) -- Nov 03, 2010 -- ENGINEERING.com Incorporated (TSX VENTURE: EGN), developer of the ENGINEERING.com online resource and business for engineers today announced its financial results for the third quarter of 2010.

ENGINEERING.com revenue was $312,503 for the three months ended September 30, 2010, compared to revenue of $364,081 for the third quarter of 2009. The decline in revenue was focused on the educational software product line as many schools in the United States suffered the impact of declining budgets. The impact was exacerbated by the strength of the Canadian dollar relative to the American dollar compared to a year ago. Mitigating these declines was the increase in Internet-based revenue which grew by 90% from the comparable period in 2009 to $137,129 in the third quarter of 2010. The net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2010, totaled ($131,123) and $0.00 per Common Share compared with a net loss of ($98,545) and $0.00 for the same period a year ago.

Operating profit (EBITDA) measured as earnings before interest, taxes, amortization and stock-based compensation, was a loss of ($108,750) or $0.00 per Common Share for the third quarter of 2010 compared with an operating loss of ($45,114) or $0.00 per Common Share for the three months ended September 30, 2009. The operating expenses in the latest period were $288,868 compared to $292,738 for the third quarter a year earlier.

"The Company continued to focus its growth efforts on Internet advertising and related services during the third quarter" said John Hayes, President of ENGINEERING.com. "This focus drove growth in paid advertising impressions by 105% when compared to the third quarter last year".

As at September 30, 2010, the Company had a cash balance of $148,014 compared to a cash balance of $199,570 as at September 30, 2009. This cash balance is relatively small when compared to the Company's ongoing obligations as described on pages 6 and 7 of the Company's Second Quarter 2010 Management Discussion & Analysis under the heading, "Present Status and Risk Factors" as filed on September 15, 2010.
