Wireless Age Announces Operating Results for Third Quarter 2006

15 November 2006

Wireless Age Communications, Inc. (OTCBB:WLSA), a leading supplier of solutions to the Canadian wireless communications industry, today reported its financial results for the third quarter, ended September 30, 2006.


Consolidated revenues for the third quarter of fiscal 2006 were $8,906,723 up from $7,648,974 during the second quarter of fiscal 2006 and $6,743,505 in third quarter of fiscal 2005 -- growth of 16% over the most recent quarter and 32% over the same period a year ago. Retail business segment revenues were $3,615,719 up from $3,392,595 in the second quarter of fiscal 2006 and up from $3,026,972 during the third quarter of fiscal 2005. Commercial business segment revenues were $5,291,004 up from $4,256,379 during the previous quarter and up 42% from the $3,716,533 posted during the third quarter of fiscal 2005. Net loss for the third quarter of fiscal 2006 was $1,468,410 compared to earnings of $271,431 a year ago.


Company CFO Gary Hokkanen stated, "I'm pleased that the operating results from continuing operations for the third quarter were substantially better than the second quarter. Overall profitability was not possible for three reasons; a special $1,707,153 non-cash accounting charge arising from the recent equity financing, the new Vancouver regional operations centre not yet achieving break-even operating results and costly interest rates on working capital borrowings. In addition, we've determined that the best way to maximize shareholder value over the long term is to divest of the Wireless Works or Networks division. As a result, the Company has segregated the operating results of the division from those of continuing operations, and shown them as discontinued operations. Classifying results in this manner allows the reader to understand continuing operating results as if the discontinued operations had already been disposed of. For a more detailed explanation of these matters I encourage all interested parties to participate in the Company's third quarter results conference call on Wednesday, November 15th."


The company's Chairman and CEO, Brad Poulos commented, "We've just completed a string of six consecutive quarters of record revenues and I'm confident that the fourth quarter of 2006 will be the seventh. Operating activity was higher across all operating segments and many of the efficiency measures we have put in place are beginning to reflect in our results. The management team and I are very bullish about 2007."
