QVC Qustream Corporation

QuStream Corporation ("QuStream" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE: QVC), an innovative global provider of high-definition (HD) broadcast solutions that facilitated NBC's comprehensive coverage of the 2008 Beijing Olympics, today announced its third quarter fiscal 2008 results.

QuStream Corporation's Chairman, President and CEO, Fred Godard, commented, "The impact of the liquidity crisis was felt in our third quarter as the turmoil in the financial markets caused a number of pending projects to be delayed. The fundamental market forces which drive the demand for our products remain intact. Accordingly, we remain optimistic about our long term prospects but at the same time, we are taking a more cautious view in the short term and are conducting our business in a manner so as to conserve resources. Both the Integrity(TM) 600 series -- a new signal processing platform with multiple signal processing cards and the new C/S series - a system specific series of signal processing products were featured prominently at the International Broadcasters Conference show in Amsterdam and the customer response was enthusiastic."

The Company experienced a significant decrease in business activity in the third quarter as the economic slow down and liquidity concerns adversely impacted our revenue expectations. The third quarter is traditionally the strongest quarter due to increased US government purchasing. Although government revenue was relatively flat in the third quarter of 2008 compared to the same period last year, the sharp decrease in commercial business in the quarter was the main reason for the overall decrease in revenue in the third quarter.

In light of the significant general economic uncertainty and the potential adverse impact on the Company's near term outlook, we have initiated cost reduction programs commencing at the start of our fourth quarter plus have taken valuation allowances with respect to inventory and future tax assets. Our inventory reserves were increased by $1.6 million in the third quarter, which reduced our gross margins from 55% to 24% in the third quarter and from 55% to 44% for the nine months ending September 30, 2008. In addition, the Company took a valuation allowance in the amount of $1.8 million related to future tax assets no longer meeting the more likely than not criteria.
