MYTEC REPORTS 1998 FIRST QUARTER RESULTS Revenues increase by 7.4% TORONTO, May 25 /CNW/ - Mytec Technologies Inc. (MYT:TSE) today announced record quarterly revenues of $3,204,557 for the three months ended March 31, 1998, a 7.4% increase from $2,982,777 during the same period last year. Net loss for the three months was $586,068 compared to net earnings of $297,079 for the same three months in 1997. The loss in the first quarter reflects the continued investment in the development of the company's strategic biometric products. As a result of commercialization of the Mytec biometric operation, which began in the fourth quarter of 1997, approximately $675,000 of product-related costs, pre-operating expenses and research costs were expensed in the first quarter of 1998. Product revenues to offset these expenses have not yet materialized, thereby impacting earnings. ''We are very pleased to report continued growth in our monitoring revenues and are delighted with the progress made on the development and marketing of our biometric products,'' said Tom Grecco, President and CEO, Mytec. ''Our Touchstone(R) product has recently been certified by the ICSA (International Computer Security Association) and has also completed testing with Entrust Technologies, enabling it to be sold as an Entrust-Ready(TM) identity device.'' ''Biometrics are becoming widely accepted in the marketplace. Mytec's products - Touchstone, Touchstone SDK and Biometric Logon for Windows NT - are well positioned to address the emerging market of biometric security,'' said Grecco. ''With this solid foundation, we look forward to strengthening future revenues.'' About Mytec Technologies Inc. Mytec Technologies Inc.
