SERVIDYNE REPORTS FIRST QUARTER RESULTS

Back to News Releases

ATLANTA – SEPTEMBER 15, 2008 – SERVIDYNE, INC. (NASDAQ – SERV), a building performance efficiency and real estate company, today announced that its SEC Form 10Q quarterly report, filed today, reflects a net loss of $847,411, or $.23 per share, for the first fiscal quarter ended July 31, 2008, compared to net earnings of $1,558,404, or $.42 per share, for the same period last year.  The prior year results included one-time revenues from continuing operations of approximately $1,553,000 and earnings of approximately $1.4 million, or $.34 per share, as the result of a real estate property sale, whereas there were no real estate sales in the current quarter.

“I am certainly disappointed by the first quarter results, as we were adversely impacted by customer delays of planned energy savings projects, as well as by the general weakness of the overall economy,” said Alan R. Abrams, Chairman, President and CEO.  “Nevertheless, I am encouraged by recent order activity, and I remain optimistic because our sales pipeline is solid and growing, as our customers are continuing to try to address their rapidly rising energy costs. I am pleased that our building productivity software revenues continued to grow and our energy management consulting revenues remained solid in the quarter, and I am encouraged by the initial lighting product revenues that are the result of the business acquisition we completed in June.

“In the quarter, we generated the initial energy savings project revenues from program initiatives for two new customers that we believe offer the potential for several million dollars in energy savings project revenues over the next four to eight fiscal quarters. In the last month, we started work on several previously-delayed energy savings projects, and we expect to enter into a new contract for a multi-million dollar energy savings project in the next several weeks, based on a verbal customer commitment. I am quite optimistic about these potential contracts and revenues, which remain subject to customer approval and finalization of the agreements.

“I take great comfort in the strength of our balance sheet, which is enabling us to ride out these trying economic times.”
