Emtec, Inc. Reports Results for the Year Ended March 31, 2004

Net Income Increased by 404.05% for the year ended March 31, 2004, Compared to the year ended March 31, 2003


TRENTON, N.J., June 25, 2004 (PRIMEZONE) -- Emtec, Inc. (OTCBB:ETEC), a systems integrator providing technology solutions to enable customers to effectively use and manage data to grow their business, announced today its results for the year ended March 31, 2004.

Net income for the year ended March 31, 2004, rose to $642,988 or $0.09 per share compared to a net loss of $(211,471) or $(0.03) per share for the year ended March 31, 2003. Management attributed this increase in net income to a 53.59% or $2.26 million increase in services and consulting gross profits. The increase in services and consulting gross profits was mainly attributable to installation services associated with computer roll-out projects for the various state agencies in the State of New Jersey, and school districts in Georgia and Florida as well as the company's ability to manage its utilization rates (billable hours divided by paid hours) of engineers more effectively.

John Howlett, CEO, Emtec, Inc., said, "While we are pleased with this improvement in performance, we have continued to focus on increasing sales while simultaneously restructuring to reduce overhead costs. Since April 1st, we have consolidated all New Jersey operations in one facility at 572 Whitehead Rd. in Trenton, NJ, with a small sales office at 354 North Avenue in Cranford, NJ. The closing of the former Cranford and Mt. Laurel, NJ offices and warehouses, will result in an approximate cost savings of $170,000 annually in rent and utilities."

Effective July 1, we will begin outsourcing our NOC (Network Operation Center) and Help Desk operations to a third party. By outsourcing this part of our business, we will be able to continue to offer these strategic services while allowing us to eliminate an unprofitable part of our business. Through this relationship we expect to be able to enhance our support offering and continue to pursue our strategic plan for managed services.

Effective June 21st, we have reorganized management of our Northeast Region to bring more focus to sales and customer service. With all of these changes solidly in place by the end of the first quarter, we are excited about our prospects for fiscal 2005.
