The year was highlighted by the debt restructuring resulting in a net positive impact of $6,9M in the first quarter and by the acquisition and construction work done at the La Prade Industrial Park (Becancour Ca) worth $4,4M in the second quarter. Conporec has also put significant emphasis on securing waste supply contracts for its current and upcoming operating facilities in the following quarters.

The project development team has focused its efforts on submitting six tenders or qualification documents in France, Ontario and Quebec. As well, the negotiations related to the contract with Mindarie Regional Council (Australia) have led last October 25th to the announcement of the imminent construction of the new plant. Finally, the Company was proud to announce during the year, that the Bureau de normalisation du Quebec (BNQ) issued a certification for the compost produced at its Sorel-Tracy facility, a first in Quebec and in Canada.

Revenues of $7,6M represent a 5,6% decrease compared with the $8,0M revenues for the same period of 2006. Gross margin in 2007 were at $1,1M or 14% of revenues compared to gross margin of $1,3M or 17% in 2006. This reduction is mainly due to the temporary suspension of construction activities at the Tournan-en-Brie (Fr) project. Sales and administration costs were maintained at $4,4M and are in line with the efforts to increase market share by promoting the Company technology.

The net profit for the period is at $2,6M or $0.21 per common share, fully diluted, compared to a net loss of $4,5M or ($0.77) per common share in 2006. The net profit of 2007 includes the debts and debentures write-off. The shareholders' equity for December 31st, is $13,4M compared to $1,8M for the same date in 2006.

"The efforts carried out throughout 2007 allow us to foresee increasingly positive results. The imminent start of the construction of the Australian facility as well as the optimized operations at the Becancour and Sorel-Tracy facilities, should allow Conporec to reach its objectives and continue with the implementation of its business plan", stated CEO Jean Beaudoin.

In addition, due to the greater maturity of the Company which will require an increased involvement of its directors, and because of their current occupation, MM. Jacques Putzeys and Jean-Marie Santander presented their resignation to the board of directors. The members of the Board express their sincere appreciation for their contribution. The vacant positions will be replaced soon.
