Remote Dynamics (OTCBB: RMTD) (www.remotedynamics.com), a provider of asset tracking and fleet management solutions, reports its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2009.

Gary Hallgren, CEO of Remote Dynamics, commented, "We rebounded from the first quarter's negative adjusted EBITDA of $18,000 to post positive adjusted EBITDA of $8,000 in the second quarter. The REDIview(TM) subscriber base increased as well, after dipping slightly in the first quarter due to higher customer defaults. Despite the tough economic conditions, we have been successful in continuing to demonstrate value to our customers by delivering a quick return on investment. "

Highlights for the quarter included:

--  REDIview subscriber base increased 7.8% from June 30, 2008 and a 0.7%
    increase since December 31, 2008.  Ending REDIview units were 11,283 versus
    10,462 on June 30, 2008.

--  Total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2009 totaled $1.30
    million compared to $1.27 million during the three months ended June 30,
    2008.  In accordance with our revenue recognition policies, REDIview unit
    sales and the associated cost of sales are deferred and recognized over the
    customer's contract life.  Our future revenues will be solely dependent
    upon sales of our REDIview product line.  The failure of the marketplace to
    accept our REDIview product line would have a material adverse effect on
    the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.
    Service revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2009 totaled $925,000
    compared to $850,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2008.  This 9%
    increase is primarily attributable to an increase in units in service.
    Average units in service increased 9%, from 10,234 units in the second
    quarter of 2008 to 11,141 in the second quarter of 2009.  Ratable product
    revenue for the second quarter of 2009 was $313,000 compared to $356,000
    for the comparable period in 2008.  The 12% decrease is due to the
    completion of the amortization of the deferred performance obligation in
    2008 which contributed to $144,000 of revenue in the comparable period of
    2008 which was not included in the 2009 period.  The amortization of the
    deferred performance obligation was complete as of December 31, 2008.  This
    decrease was predominantly offset by an increase in ratable product revenue
    of $101,000.

--  Total gross profit margin was 58% for the three months ended June 30,
    2009 compared to 61% for the three months ended June 30, 2008.  Service
    margin for the second quarter of 2009 was 65% compared to 61% for the
    second quarter of 2008.  This increase is primarily attributable to reduced
    costs of airtime and mapping.  Ratable product margin was 38% for the
    second quarter of 2009 compared to 66% for the first quarter of 2008.
    Excluding the amortization of the deferred performance obligation, ratable
    product margin in the first quarter of 2008 would have been 42%.

--  Total operating expenses totaled $949,000 for the three months ended
    June 30, 2009 compared to $922,000 for the three months ended June 30,
    2008.  The slight increase from the comparable period in the prior year is
    due to additional general and administrative expenses.

--  Interest expense totaled $0.3 million for the three months ended June
    30, 2009 and the three months ended June 30, 2008.  The current period
    interest expense primarily consists of the accretion of the Series B Notes
    of $262,000.

--  Adjusted EBITDA was $8,000 for the second quarter of 2009 compared to
    $59,000 for the same period in 2008.  Excluding the amortization of the
    deferred performance obligation recorded in the same period, adjusted
    EBITDA for the second quarter of 2008 would have been negative $85,000.
    The improvement in adjusted EBITDA, excluding the effect of the
    amortization of the deferred performance obligation, is attributable to
    growth in the installed base as well as our efforts to improve gross
    margins.
    

Other Highlights for 2009 include:

--  In the first six months of 2009, we issued 5,902,916,798 shares of
    common stock as partial principal payments on the Series A Notes in
    satisfaction of $888,387 of obligations due under the notes.  Additionally,
    during the same period, we issued 3,255,173,554 shares of common stock as
    partial payments on the Series B Notes in satisfaction of $429,404 of
    obligations due under the notes.  We expect to issue additional shares of
    our common stock in payment of amounts due under the notes during the
    remainder of 2009 and thereafter.  In general, the shares issued are
    available for immediate resale by the holders in accordance with Rule 144
    under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Adjusted EBITDA Presentation

EBITDA represents net income (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and in the case of Adjusted EBITDA, before goodwill impairment, gains or losses on the extinguishment of debt and preferred stock, restructuring charges and other non-operating costs. EBITDA is not a measurement of financial performance under GAAP. However, we have included data with respect to EBITDA because we evaluate and project the performance of our business using several measures, including EBITDA. The computations of Adjusted EBITDA the respective quarters are as follows.

Excluding the amortization of the deferred performance obligation, adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2008 would have been negative $253,000 compared to negative $11,000 for the second quarter of 2009. The company considers adjusted EBITDA to be an important supplemental indicator of its operating performance, particularly as compared to the operating performance of its competitors, because this measure eliminates many differences among companies in financial, capitalization and tax structures, capital investment cycles and ages of related assets, as well as certain recurring non-cash and non-operating items. It believes that consideration of EBITDA should be supplemental, because EBITDA has limitations as an analytical financial measure. These limitations include the following: EBITDA does not reflect its cash expenditures, or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments; EBITDA does not reflect the interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on its indebtedness; although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements; EBITDA does not reflect the effect of earnings or charges resulting from matters it considers not to be indicative of its ongoing operations; and not all of the companies in its industry may calculate EBITDA in the same manner in which it calculates EBITDA, which limits its usefulness as a comparative measure.

Management compensates for these limitations by relying primarily on its GAAP results to evaluate its operating performance and by considering independently the economic effects of the foregoing items that are not reflected in EBITDA. As a result of these limitations, EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss), as calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, as a measure of operating performance, nor should it be considered as an alternative to cash flows as a measure of liquidity.
