Impart Media Group Reports 2006 Fourth Quarter and Full Year Results

Market Wire, April, 2007

Impart Media Group, Inc. (OTCBB: IMMG), a provider of end-to-end networked digital signage solutions for the enhanced delivery of information, brand marketing, merchandising, and advertising, announced today financial results for the 2006 fourth quarter and full year. The company reported revenue of $2.29 million for the fourth quarter of 2006, compared with $1.61 million during the fourth quarter of 2005. The increase was mainly due to additional revenues attributable to the company's acquisition of E&M Advertising, Inc. and its affiliates (E&M) in February 2006 offset by lower equipment sales and managed subscriptions revenues. The company reported a net loss of $1.60 million compared to a net loss of $1.13 million last year, and a basic and diluted loss per share of $0.07 compared to $0.09 last year. The increase in net loss for the 2006 fourth quarter was primarily attributable to the increases in compensation expenses and other general and administrative expenses resulting from the company's acquisition of E&M. The company's fourth quarter 2006 sales of $2.29 million represent an increase of 39% over third quarter 2006 sales of $1.65 million.

Full Year 2006 Results

For the 2006 full year, the company reported revenue of $6.59 million compared to $4.94 million in 2005. The increase was mainly due to revenues attributable to the company's acquisition of E&M offset by lower equipment sales and managed subscriptions. The company incurred a net loss of $10.10 million compared to a net loss of $2.42 million last year, and a basic and diluted loss per share of $0.61 compared to $0.28 last year. The increase in net loss during 2006 is primarily attributable to the increases in compensation expenses, professional and consulting expenses, impairment of intangible assets, other general and administrative expenses and interest expense. These increases resulted mainly from the company's acquisition of E&M, the write-down of the company's intangible assets acquired from accrued interest from the company's credit line, plus legal, consulting, and other costs in connection with 2006 funding transactions and investor relations.

Joe F. Martinez, Impart's Chairman & CEO, said, "Although I am not totally happy with our sales progress in 2006, I am pleased that even in a very tough year for us we were still able to grow revenue while completely reorganizing the company, cutting certain non-core business units and cleaning up all legacy issues that were draining on our operations."

Please see the recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for complete 2006 financial information and business discussion.

2007 Business Outlook

"Last year was truly a transitional and transformational year for the company as we achieved several critical milestones," concluded Martinez. "We revamped our internal organization, reinvigorated our direct sales and channel strategies, refined our IQ product and services offerings, and formalized new and complementary strategic relationships, some with global reach.

"We remain confident in our new business opportunities in this fast evolving and expanding out-of-home (OOH) market, as alternative modes of new media continue to disrupt the deployment of traditional old media. After a year of renewed focus and product repositioning into major sales projects, we have aggressively increased our market presence -- efforts that will enable us to reach our topline revenue targets and achieve profitability."
