Cohesant Inc. Reports Results For Fiscal 2008 Second Quarter and First Half

Beachwood, Ohio July 8, 2008--Cohesant Inc. (COHY) today reported results for the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2008.

The Company’s net sales increased $223,274, or 8.4% to $2,890,033 for the three months ended May 31, 2008 compared to $2,666,759 in the prior year period. This increase was a result of an existing CuraFlo business expanding its territory and increased equipment sales to both Raven Certified Applicators and existing CuraFlo businesses. As previously announced, the Company added two CuraFlo businesses at the beginning of the third quarter when it signed two additional franchisees.

Consolidated gross margins increased to $1,428,804 or 49.4% of net sales in the 2008 period from $1,181,975 or 44.3% of net sales, in the 2007 period. The increased sales mentioned above, in addition to improved margins earned on rehabilitation revenue, led to these increases.

The Company had a net loss of ($154,448), or ($0.04) per share for the current quarter compared to a net loss of ($306,544), or ($0.09) per share in the prior year quarter. This improvement was primarily a result of the increased sales and improved margins mentioned above as well as operating expenses expressed as a percentage of net sales decreased to 57.3% for the three months ended May 31, 2008 from 59.8% in the prior year period.

For the six months ended May 31, 2008 the Company’s net sales increased $502,435, or 9.9% to $5,563,885 compared to $5,061,450 in the prior year period. This increase was primarily a result of a 16% increase in sales at CuraFlo Services (rehabilitation) led by CuraFlo Spincast Services and to a lesser extent increased Coating sales and Franchisee and Licensee Fees.

Consolidated gross margins increased to $2,686,824 or 48.3% of net sales in the 2008 period from $2,255,889 or 44.6% of net sales, in the 2007 period. The increased sales mentioned above, in addition to improved margins equated with rehabilitation revenue, led to these increases.

Operating expenses increased $457,742, or 15.1% to $3,479,747 in the 2008 period from $3,022,005 in the prior year period. This increase was primarily due to higher stock-based compensation, a one-time expense resulting from accelerated vesting of stock options as a result of the GlasCraft sale as well as higher personnel costs. The Company had a net loss of ($541,683), or ($0.16) per share for the first six months of fiscal 2008 compared to a net loss of ($555,379), or ($0.16) per share in the prior year six-month period.
