Remote Dynamics (OTCBB: RMTD) (www.remotedynamics.com), a provider
of asset tracking and fleet management solutions, reports its
financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2008.
Gary Hallgren, CEO of Remote Dynamics, commented, "We continued
our momentum from the second quarter with an excellent third
quarter. We had positive adjusted EBITDA of $121,000 during the
third quarter and continued growth of our subscriber base. Despite
the tough economic conditions, we have been successful in
continuing to demonstrate value to our customers by delivering a
quick return on investment. We are also continuing to expand our
product offerings to satisfy customer demand."
Highlights for the quarter included:
-- REDIview subscriber base increased 12.8% in the first nine months of
2008 and 19.1% on a year-over -year basis since September 30, 2007.

Ending REDIview units 9,057 9,560 10,182 10,462 10,787
-- Total revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2008 was $1.38
million compared to $1.16 million during the three months ended September
30, 2007. The 19.3% increase in revenue from the comparable period in 2007
is primarily attributable to REDIview unit growth.
-- Total gross profit margin was 66% for the third quarter 2008 compared
to 56% for the third quarter of 2007. Reduced costs of airtime and mapping
costs were the primary reasons for the increase in gross margins. Of the
66% gross profit margin, 4 percentage points represents amortization of the
deferred performance obligation of our installed base related to the
reverse merger transaction on December 4, 2006. We expect gross profit
margins of greater than 55% to continue through 2008.
-- Total operating expenses totaled $989,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 2008 compared to $904,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 2007. This $85,000 or 9.4% increase is primarily
attributable to increased bad debt expense and payroll expenses.
-- Interest expense totaled $0.3 million for the three months ended
September 30, 2008 compared to $1.4 million for the same period during
2007. The current period interest expense primarily relates to the
accretion of the Series B Notes in the amount of $248,000. The $1,017,000
decrease in interest expense since the comparable period in 2007 can be
primarily attributed to the fact that the Series A Notes were fully
accreted in February 2008. The accretion of the Series A Notes was $0 for
the three months ended September 30, 2008 compared to $0.7 million for the
three months ended September 30, 2007. Additionally, default interest and
liquidated damages on the Series A and Series B Notes totaled $513,000 for
the three months ended September 30, 2007 versus $50,000 for the three
months ended September 30, 2008.
-- Adjusted EBITDA was positive $121,000 for the third quarter of 2008
compared to negative $27,000 for the same period in 2007. Adjusted year to
date EBITDA was positive $91,000 for the nine months ended September 30,
2008 compared to negative $279,000 for the same period in 2007. The return
to positive EBITDA is attributable to continued sales growth as well as our
efforts to reduce operating expenses and improve gross margins.
Other Highlights for 2008 include:
-- Through the first nine months of 2008, we issued 2,601,382 shares of
common stock as partial principal payments on our series A notes in
satisfaction of $495,156 of obligations due under the notes. Additionally,
we issued 1,240,060 shares of common stock as partial payments on our
series B notes in satisfaction of $246,897 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 2008 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.
-- On August 8, 2008, we amended our Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation to (i) effect a one-for-four hundred reverse stock split of
our common stock and (ii) authorize (after giving effect to the reverse
stock split) 5,000,000,000 authorized shares of our common stock having a
par value of $0.0001 per share. These actions were required for us to
comply with the terms of our existing financing and other contractual
arrangements. As of September 30, 2008, we had 4,596,531 shares of our
common stock outstanding.

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.

Adjusted EBITDA $ 124 $ (88) $ 58 $ 121
---------- ---------- ---------- ----------
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.
