The increase in revenues is attributed to both the full year impact of the Company's outsourcing services provided to RAND Worldwide, which began in July 2005, and an increase in sales of engineering software and services to the commercial and education markets in North America. These engineering solutions are sold on an annual basis such that customers typically make these purchases each year.
"We are pleased to report both increasing revenues and decreasing operating expenses during the year. Our customer base for engineering solutions continues to grow, which bodes well for future periods as the 2006 sales come up for renewal," said John Hayes, President of ENGINEERING.com. "During the fourth quarter of 2006 we also launched a number of new services to support our online community of engineers. I look forward to reporting on the growth of that community in 2007."
As at December 31, 2006, the Company had a cash balance of $187,190 compared to a cash balance of $179,347 as at December 31, 2005.

EBITDA
EBITDA is defined by the Company as operating income before interest expense, income taxes, amortization, stock-based compensation, asset dispositions and provision for discontinued operations. The Company has included information concerning EBITDA because it believes that EBITDA is used by certain investors as one measure of the Company's financial performance. EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under Canadian generally accepted accounting principles and is not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. EBITDA should not be construed as an alternative to operating income or to cash flows from operating activities (as determined in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles) as a measure of liquidity.
