Science Dynamics Corporation Reports First Quarter 2001 Results

CHERRY HILL, NJ -- (March 30, 2001) -- Science Dynamics “SciDyn” (NASDAQ: SIDY), a developer of Internet Protocol-based (IP) telephony solutions and services, announced today financial results for its first quarter 2001, ended March 31, 2001.

SciDyn¹s first quarter 2001 net sales totaled $194,113, an increase of $102,891 compared to fourth quarter 2000 sales of $91,222. This figure compared to net sales of $1,443,482 in the corresponding first quarter of fiscal 2000. The Company posted a net loss for the first quarter 2001 of $1,259,835, or ($0.07) per share, compared with a net loss of $1,693,774, or ($0.10) per share in the fourth quarter 2000, and a net gain of $13,365, or breakeven earnings per share, during the corresponding first quarter of 2000. First quarter 2000 revenue reflects $ 1,138,530 associated with Cascadent Communications, Inc.

Joy Hartman, President and Chief Executive Officer of SciDyn stated, ³In the first quarter, we were able to begin the implementation of several key initiatives designed to bolster our capital structure, enhance our global marketing reach and streamline our operations. We have begun to make inroads with regards to broadening the sales pipeline and diversifying our customer base. To that end, we have continued to seek out opportunities to exhibit our technology. We are currently demonstrating our new Commander II series at the Corrections Technology Association Annual Conference in North Carolina. Our recently announced third generation of Call Control Solutions for our Commander series combines debit calling and complete Web based administration. These advanced capabilities are being demonstrated live and position SciDyn as a premier solution for call control networks of all configurations.²

In the first quarter, SciDyn began a strategic analysis of the financial and human capital that would be necessary to implement the global development and market rollout of SciDyn¹s Internet Protocol based telephony solutions. Through this perspective, the company has moved to realign its workforce with those needs. SciDyn has reduced the current staff by 11 percent. The Company continues to focus its resources on engineering and customer service, as these areas are considered essential to SciDyn¹s strategy. Parallel to management¹s efforts to retool the broader organization, SciDyn is actively looking to hire additional employees in those areas on a selective basis.

Sheldon Hofferman, Chairman, stated, ³We remain committed to taking all the measures necessary to create long term shareholder value. The company is currently in the final stages of arranging bridge financing and we expect to announce the results of those efforts shortly. I remain confident that we are implementing the appropriate strategic initiatives to allow SciDyn to exit the current economic slowdown in a position of strength. While telecommunications spending continues to be weak in the United States, we are seeing opportunities in several regions of the global telecommunications marketplace. Our marketing initiatives continue to gain traction in the international markets and we reaffirm our expectations that these efforts will begin to be reflected in our revenues in the second half of 2001.²
