ONSE - Onsite Energy Corp. Reports Second Consecutive Profitable Quarter CARLSBAD, Calif., Feb 22, 2001 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Onsite Energy Corp. ("Onsite")(OTCBB:ONSE) announced today the financial results for its second fiscal quarter and six months ended Dec. 31, 2000. Since Onsite re-focused its business on California markets, this is the second consecutive quarter that Onsite has been profitable. "The results from our second quarter and six months ended Dec. 31, 2000 continue to confirm our strategy to return to our focus on California markets," said Richard T. Sperberg, president and CEO of Onsite. "The energy crisis in California has caused many customers to examine their options to reduce current and future energy costs, and that has resulted in many project development opportunities for Onsite, for both energy efficiency and on-site power generation projects." Three-Month Results Revenues for the three-month period ended Dec. 31, 2000 were $3,525,689, compared with $3,067,344 for the same period in 1999, an increase of $458,345, or 14.9 percent. The increase was primarily due to increased project revenues for projects in California. Revenues in the three-month period ended Dec. 31, 2000 include approximately $175,000 for projects sold to a related party. Net income for the three months ended Dec. 31, 2000 was $924,958, or $0.04 per share, after inclusion of an extraordinary gain of $444,577 for the settlement of certain liabilities. Net loss for the three months ended Dec. 31, 1999 was $1,202,835, or $0.06 loss per share. The change from the net loss in the quarter ended Dec. 31, 1999 to net income in the Dec. 31, 2000 quarter represents an improvement of $2,127,793 in the current three-month period. Six Month Results Revenues for the six-month period ended Dec. 31, 2000 were $6,460,320, compared with $12,844,817 for the same period in 1999, a decrease of $6,384,497, or 49.7 percent. The decrease reflects the sale and/or discontinued operations of certain subsidiaries, the limiting of the operation of another subsidiary to industrial water purification in Kansas and the June 2000 termination of the Sale and Noncompetition Agreement with SYCOM Corp. Revenues in the current year six-month period include approximately $566,000, with no associated costs, related to the sale of project incentive revenues for several projects to an unrelated third party and approximately $175,000 of revenue for projects sold to a related party. Net income for the six months ended Dec. 31, 2000 was $1,487,073, or $0.07 per share, after inclusion of an extraordinary gain of $487,319 for the settlement of certain liabilities. Net loss for the six months ended Dec. 31, 1999 was $1,742,087, or $0.09 loss per share. The change from the net loss in the six-month period ended Dec. 31, 1999 to net income in the Dec. 31, 2000 six-month period represents an improvement of $3,229,160.
