BRIARCLIFF MANOR, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 15, 1999--SETO HOLDINGS, INC. (OTC BB: SETO) announced today that revenue for continuing operations for first quarter April 30, 1999, was $900,707 as compared to $500,825 for the comparable period ending April 30, 1998, an increase of 55.1%. Income from continuing operations for the quarter ended April 30, 1999, was $11,864 and net profit was $4,052. Mr. Pian said, "The low profit results were mainly caused by a few one time charges such as a non cash, charge of $25,000 for the exercise of two employee options of which there are non remaining, a rescheduling of deliveries from a major scribe customer to the second quarter of 1999 and other charges as explained in the MD&A. With the large backlog of orders and the one time charges now out of the way, we feel the Company is in the best condition in its history to grow revenues and profits as was forecast."
