Questor Technology Inc. ("Questor" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:QST) announced
today its financial and operating results for the three and six month periods
ended June 30, 2010
The Company reported net income of $167,156 ($0.007 per basic share) for the
second quarter of 2010 compared to net income of $21,031 ($0.001 per basic
share) for the same quarter of 2009. The net income increase of $146,125 is
primarily attributable to the higher margin sales and services revenue mix
occurring in the three months ended June 30, 2010 and the foreign exchange gain
recorded in second quarter 2010 compared to the foreign exchange loss recognized
in the same period of 2009. Partially offsetting these impacts are higher income
tax expense and lower other revenue in second quarter 2010.
Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2010 is $2,136 ($0.000 per basic
share) compared to net income of $103,720 ($0.004 per basic share) for the six
months ended June 30, 2009. The decrease in net income of $101,584 is
attributable to lower incinerator sales and other revenues, partially offset by
higher foreign exchange gains and incinerator rentals and services margins and
by lower general and administrative and income tax expenses in the first half of
2010.

"Questor has confirmed incinerator sales orders of $2.4 million of which
approximately $1.6 million will be delivered in third quarter 2010 and the
balance in fourth quarter 2010 in accordance with the current customer-specified
schedule," said Audrey Mascarenhas, President and Chief Executive Officer. "The
combined value of the confirmed incinerator sales orders and total revenue
generated in the first half of the year means we are already on track to achieve
total revenue in 2010 that is slightly ahead of 2009 total revenue results. We
continue to actively pursue new business opportunities and currently have
proposals outstanding in excess of $41 million which is approximately $9 million
more than the bids outstanding at this time last year."
"The heightened focus on the environment continues to hold promise for Questor's
technology solutions and services," concluded Ms. Mascarenhas.
The Company continues to build market awareness for its expertise in matters
relating to clean air technologies. Ms. Mascarenhas has been invited to lecture
as part of the Departmental Seminars in Mechanical and Industrial Engineering at
the University of Toronto. She will present on the topic of "Air Pollution: The
Daily Spills That We Ignore" on September 10, 2010 at 2:10 p.m. in Toronto,
Ontario, Canada. As previously announced, Ms. Mascarenhas is serving as a
Society of Petroleum Engineering ("SPE") Distinguished Lecturer for the
2010-2011 lecture season. In that capacity she will be presenting on the topic
of "A Sustainable Solution to the Climate Change Dilemma: Eliminate the Flare"
to audiences in Santa Clara, California, USA, Rock Springs, Wyoming, USA and
Salt Lake City, Utah, USA on September 13, 15 and 16, 2010, respectively.
Questor's second quarter 2010 financial statements and notes thereto and
Management's Discussion and Analysis for the three and six months ended June 30,
2010 will be available shortly on the Company's website at www.questortech.com
