Share:

PLANO, TX--(Marketwire - August 14, 2009) - Remote Dynamics (OTCBB: RMTD)
(www.remotedynamics.com), a provider of asset tracking and fleet management
solutions, reports its financial results for the second quarter ended June
30, 2009.

Gary Hallgren, CEO of Remote Dynamics, commented, "We rebounded from the
first quarter's negative adjusted EBITDA of $18,000 to post positive
adjusted EBITDA of $8,000 in the second quarter. The REDIviewT
subscriber base increased as well, after dipping slightly in the first
quarter due to higher customer defaults. Despite the tough economic
conditions, we have been successful in continuing to demonstrate value to
our customers by delivering a quick return on investment. "

Highlights for the quarter included:

-- REDIview subscriber base increased 7.8% from June 30, 2008 and a 0.7%
increase since December 31, 2008. Ending REDIview units were 11,283 versus
10,462 on June 30, 2008.

-- Total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2009 totaled $1.30
million compared to $1.27 million during the three months ended June 30,
2008. In accordance with our revenue recognition policies, REDIview unit
sales and the associated cost of sales are deferred and recognized over the
customer's contract life. Our future revenues will be solely dependent
upon sales of our REDIview product line. The failure of the marketplace to
accept our REDIview product line would have a material adverse effect on
the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.
Service revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2009 totaled $925,000
compared to $850,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2008. This 9%
increase is primarily attributable to an increase in units in service.
Average units in service increased 9%, from 10,234 units in the second
quarter of 2008 to 11,141 in the second quarter of 2009. Ratable product
revenue for the second quarter of 2009 was $313,000 compared to $356,000
for the comparable period in 2008. The 12% decrease is due to the
completion of the amortization of the deferred performance obligation in
2008 which contributed to $144,000 of revenue in the comparable period of
2008 which was not included in the 2009 period. The amortization of the
deferred performance obligation was complete as of December 31, 2008. This
decrease was predominantly offset by an increase in ratable product revenue
of $101,000.

-- Total gross profit margin was 58% for the three months ended June 30,
2009 compared to 61% for the three months ended June 30, 2008. Service
margin for the second quarter of 2009 was 65% compared to 61% for the
second quarter of 2008. This increase is primarily attributable to reduced
costs of airtime and mapping. Ratable product margin was 38% for the
second quarter of 2009 compared to 66% for the first quarter of 2008.
Excluding the amortization of the deferred performance obligation, ratable
product margin in the first quarter of 2008 would have been 42%.

-- Total operating expenses totaled $949,000 for the three months ended
June 30, 2009 compared to $922,000 for the three months ended June 30,
2008. The slight increase from the comparable period in the prior year is
due to additional general and administrative expenses.

-- Interest expense totaled $0.3 million for the three months ended June
30, 2009 and the three months ended June 30, 2008. The current period
interest expense primarily consists of the accretion of the Series B Notes
of $262,000.

-- Adjusted EBITDA was $8,000 for the second quarter of 2009 compared to
$59,000 for the same period in 2008. Excluding the amortization of the
deferred performance obligation recorded in the same period, adjusted
EBITDA for the second quarter of 2008 would have been negative $85,000.
The improvement in adjusted EBITDA, excluding the effect of the
amortization of the deferred performance obligation, is attributable to
growth in the installed base as well as our efforts to improve gross
margins.

Other Highlights for 2009 include:

-- In the first six months of 2009, we issued 5,902,916,798 shares of
common stock as partial principal payments on the Series A Notes in
satisfaction of $888,387 of obligations due under the notes. Additionally,
during the same period, we issued 3,255,173,554 shares of common stock as
partial payments on the Series B Notes in satisfaction of $429,404 of
obligations due under the notes. We expect to issue additional shares of
our common stock in payment of amounts due under the notes during the
remainder of 2009 and thereafter. In general, the shares issued are
available for immediate resale by the holders in accordance with Rule 144
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Adjusted EBITDA Presentation

EBITDA represents net income (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation
and amortization, and in the case of Adjusted EBITDA, before goodwill
impairment, gains or losses on the extinguishment of debt and preferred
stock, restructuring charges and other non-operating costs. EBITDA is not a
measurement of financial performance under GAAP. However, we have included
data with respect to EBITDA because we evaluate and project the performance
of our business using several measures, including EBITDA. The computations
of Adjusted EBITDA the respective quarters are as follows.

Six Months Ended
June 30,
2009 2008
-------- --------
Net loss $ (1,165) $ (1,511)
Add non-EBITDA items included in net results:
Depreciation and amortization 403 408
Interest expense, net 751 1,073
Other expense - 1
-------- --------

Adjusted EBITDA $ (11) $ (29)
-------- --------

Excluding the amortization of the deferred performance obligation, adjusted
EBITDA for the second quarter of 2008 would have been negative $253,000
compared to negative $11,000 for the second quarter of 2009. The company
considers adjusted EBITDA to be an important supplemental indicator of its
operating performance, particularly as compared to the operating
performance of its competitors, because this measure eliminates many
differences among companies in financial, capitalization and tax
structures, capital investment cycles and ages of related assets, as well
as certain recurring non-cash and non-operating items. It believes that
consideration of EBITDA should be supplemental, because EBITDA has
limitations as an analytical financial measure. These limitations include
the following: EBITDA does not reflect its cash expenditures, or future
requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments; EBITDA
does not reflect the interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary
to service interest or principal payments, on its indebtedness; although
depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being
depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and
EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements; EBITDA
does not reflect the effect of earnings or charges resulting from matters
it considers not to be indicative of its ongoing operations; and not all of
the companies in its industry may calculate EBITDA in the same manner in
which it calculates EBITDA, which limits its usefulness as a comparative
measure.

Management compensates for these limitations by relying primarily on its
GAAP results to evaluate its operating performance and by considering
independently the economic effects of the foregoing items that are not
reflected in EBITDA. As a result of these limitations, EBITDA should not be
considered as an alternative to net income (loss), as calculated in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, as a measure of
operating performance, nor should it be considered as an alternative to
cash flows as a measure of liquidity.
