Gemini Corporation Reports 2008 Second Quarter Results

Renewed sales momentum strengthens revenues

CALGARY, ALBERTA–(EMWNews – Aug. 18, 2008) – Gemini Corporation (TSX VENTURE:GKX) today announced its second quarter financial results for the period ended June 30, 2008.

Revenue in the second quarter totalled $19,852,000, a 46% increase over the $13,594,000 achieved in the second quarter of 2007. Revenues to date for 2008 total $38,574,000 compared to $30,692,000 last year, which is a 26% increase year over year. This increase reflects the impact of the strong backlog of work secured in late 2007 and early 2008. Revenues for the remaining half of the year are expected to be similar to those achieved in the first half. The most notable difference in the revenues for the second half is that Engineering is expected to increase to 33% of revenue from 25%, which should result in an improvement in overall profitability due to the higher margins earned in this segment. Field Services will continue to work through its backlog at a somewhat slower pace due to certain client-driven schedule changes on various projects.

Aggressive sales and marketing efforts are yielding additional opportunities to add to the backlogs in both business segments. Field services are seeking to fill any available capacity into 2009 and Engineering is continuing to secure additional long-term projects. This is resulting in more stable quarterly revenues and is requiring the Corporation to recruit a significant number of additional personnel especially within Engineering to keep up with client requirements.

Second quarter gross profits for 2008 were $3.4 million compared to the $3.0 million achieved in the same period last year. This brings year to date gross profits to $6.8 million for 2008 compared to $6.4 million in 2007. The 2008 second quarter profitability is not as strong as expected due to certain production cost challenges encountered in the Corporation’s fabrication operation. These issues are being addressed and it is expected that third and fourth quarter margins will return to more acceptable levels. In addition, the increase in Engineering revenues anticipated for the last half of the year should result in stronger overall gross profit results.

Net earnings for the second quarter of 2008 were $210,000 (0.5 cents per share) compared to a net loss of $317,000 (1.0 cents per share) for the same quarter last year. As a result, Gemini’s net earnings for 2008 are now nearly $900,000 higher than those achieved in the first half of 2007. Earnings for the second quarter were supported by a $341,000 gain on the sale of 16 of Gemini’s 96 acres of land located on the outskirts of Fort Saskatchewan. This land was surplus to the Corporation’s needs and was sold for net proceeds of $720,000.

“We have regained a great deal of momentum through our more aggressive sales and marketing efforts and we expect this to translate into long-term stability in our workload and improved profitability in the coming quarters”, said Carl Johnson, Gemini’s President and CEO. “The second quarter was not as profitable as we had anticipated in part due to longer project ramp up time, but we are seeing an improvement in each one of our operating units as 2008 continues to unfold. We have secured a substantial backlog of work and we intend to continue to grow this backlog as we seek to maximize profitability. One of our challenges continues to be managing project issues caused by client deliverables.”
