Remote Dynamics (OTCBB: RMTD) (www.remotedynamics.com), a provider of asset tracking and fleet management solutions, reports its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2009.

Gary Hallgren, CEO of Remote Dynamics, commented, "We started 2009 well with a solid first quarter. We had negative adjusted EBITDA of $18,000 during the first quarter due to contract defaults being higher than expected due to the tough economic conditions. However, we signed contracts with two large customers which will represent two of the top three largest customers in our installed 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 9.3% from March 31, 2008 and a 0.1% decrease since December 31, 2008. While new units were added in the first quarter of 2009, we experienced contract defaults at a higher rate than expected due to economic conditions. Ending REDIview units were:

    2008          2008          2008          2008          2009
------------- ------------- ------------- ------------- -------------

       10,182        10,462        10,787        11,210        11,129
--  Total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2009 totaled $1.29
    million compared to $1.21 million during the three months ended March 31,
    2008.  Service revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2009 totaled
    $944,000 compared to $804,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008.
    This 17% increase is primarily attributable to an increase in units in
    service.  Average units in service increased 13%, from 9,871 units in the
    first quarter of 2008 to 11,170 in the first quarter of 2009.  Ratable
    product revenue for the first quarter of 2009 was $307,000 compared to
    $336,000 for the comparable period in 2008.  The 9% reduction is due to the
    completion of the amortization of the deferred performance obligation in
    2008 which contributed to $138,000 of revenue in the comparable period of
    2008 which was not included in the 2009 period.  The amortization of the
    deferred performance obligation was complete as of December 31, 2008.  This
    decrease was predominantly offset by an increase in ratable product revenue
    of $109,000.

--  Total gross profit margin was 60% for the three months ended March 31,
    2009 and the three months ended March 31, 2008.  Service margin for the
    first quarter of 2009 was 66% compared to 56% for the first quarter of
    2008.  This increase is primarily attributable to reduced costs of airtime
    and mapping. Ratable product margin was 39% for the first quarter of 2009
    compared to 66% for the first quarter of 2008.  Excluding the amortization
    of the deferred performance obligation, ratable product margin in the first
    quarter of 2008 would have been 43%.

--  Total operating expenses totaled $1.0 million for the three months
    ended March 31, 2009 and the three months ended March 31, 2008.

--  Interest expense totaled $0.4 million for the three months ended March
    31, 2009 compared to $0.8 million for the same period during 2008.  The
    current period interest expense primarily consists of the accretion of the
    Series B Notes of $228,000 as well as $33,000 of accrued interest on the
    Series A Notes, $109,000 of accrued interest on the Series B Notes, and
    $27,000 in amortization of deferred financing fees.  The $410,000 decrease
    in interest expense since the comparable period in 2008 can be primarily
    attributed to $392,000 of accretion of the Series A Notes, as they were
    fully accreted in February 2008.

--  Adjusted EBITDA was negative $18,000 for the first quarter of 2009
    compared to negative $88,000 for the same period in 2008.  The decrease in
    adjusted EBITDA is attributable to growth in the installed base as well as
    our efforts to improve gross margins.
    

Other Highlights for 2009 include:

--  In the first quarter of 2009 we made payments to certain holders of
    our secured convertible notes of amounts due under the notes by issuing
    shares of our common stock under the terms of the notes.  For the Series A
    notes, these payments were in the form of 3,011,738,755 shares of our
    common stock in satisfaction of $601,381 of obligations due under the
    Series A notes, representing issuance prices ranging from $.000117 to
    $.000587 per share.  For the Series B notes, these payments were in the
    form of 1,047,937,537 shares of our common stock in satisfaction of
    $185,961 of obligations due under the Series B notes, representing issuance
    prices ranging from $0.000124 to $.000477 per share (for the Series B
    Notes). We believe the issuance of the shares was exempt from registration
    under Sections 3(a)(9) and 4(2) of the Securities Act and pursuant to
    Regulation D under the Securities Act. All of the persons receiving shares
    were accredited investors.

--  On April 17, 2009, we amended our Amended and Restated Certificate of
    Incorporation to increase our authorized shares of our common stock to
    15,000,000,000.

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.

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.
