Broadview Press Inc. Announces Q2 2008 Results

Wednesday 27. August 2008 - Broadview Press (TSX VENTURE:BDP) reports net sales for Q2 2008 of $336,212 (Q1 2007 = $533,233). Over the first two quarters net sales totaled $874,212 (2007 = $1,108, 853).

The reduction in sales levels from 2007 levels comes in the wake of the Company’s May 1 sale of its History and Social Sciences lists to the University of Toronto Press; the Company’s focus is now exclusively as a publisher in the Humanities (traditionally its area of greatest strength).

Because Broadview’s operations are seasonal, the Company historically posts losses in the first and second quarters, typically followed by profits in the third and fourth quarters. For Q2 2008 the Company is reporting a net loss of $90,458 (2007: $321,844), and for the first six months of the year a net loss of $394,138 (2007:$554,929), substantially better than the 2007 comparable numbers.
