Montreal (Quebec), November 26, 2008 – ODESIA Group Inc. (« ODESIA ») (TSX-V: ODS) has announced today its financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2008.

Financial Highlights for the third quarter of 2008 :

  • During the third quarter ended September 30, 2008 the Company posted revenues of $4,350,000,
    compared to $3,415,000 for the corresponding quarter in 2007, an increase of $935,000 or 27.4%.
  • Earnings before amortization of tangible and intangible assets, financial expenses, income taxes
    and non-controlling interest (EBITDA) are $195,000 for Q3 2008 compared to a loss of $222,000
    for the corresponding period one year earlier.
  • Net loss of $132,000 for the third quarter of 2008 caused by a $126,000 amortization expense of
    intangible assets and a $94,000 loss on foreign exchange following the recent fluctuations in the
    currencies in which ODESIA is operating.
  • ODESIA closed a $1,450,000 financing composed of $750,000 in convertible debenture and
    $700,000 in equity.

"With the current economic uncertainty, our efforts to streamline our operational expenses in the second quarter continued during the third quarter; and it paid out” said Mr. Nicolas Bonnafous, President and CEO of Group ODESIA Inc.
“We have noted that the demand for our regular consultation services is declining, while the demand for our Business Solutions is growing. Fortunately, our repositioning to the Business Solutions activities that started in the second quarter allowed us to take full advantage of these new opportunities. Also, we are better positioned to manage the risk of a reduced demand for our regular consulting services.”
Mr. Bonnafous concluded:
"The current difficult economic conditions increases demand for data analysis and production of dashboard better suited to rapid changes like the ones we are experiencing these days. With technology partners such as Oracle, Business Objects, and Microsoft, our team enjoys greater scope both in the SME market and in Fortune 500 businesses."
