Press Release

Creative Vistas, Inc. Issues Positive Guidance for Third Quarter, Sees Revenues up 18% to 23%

Wednesday, September 26 9:03 am ET

Revenues Expected to Reach Over $10.5 million in the Third Quarter for the First Time in Company History, Double-Digit Sequential Gains Also Projected for Both Revenues and EBITDA

WHITBY, Ontario--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Creative Vistas, Inc., (OTCBB:CVAS - News), a leading provider of advanced video security and surveillance solutions as well as broadband-related services, today provided guidance on revenues and other financial results for the Company's third quarter ending September 30, 2007.

Revenues for the third quarter of 2007 are expected to range from $10.8 million to $11.2 million, up 18% to 23%, from revenues of $9.12 million reported in the third quarter of 2006. On a sequential basis, 2007 third-quarter revenues would be up 13% to 17% from revenues of $9.58 million reported in the second quarter ended June 30, 2007.

The Company said it expects third-quarter 2007 earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA(1)) between $1.15 million and $1.32 million. Compared to the reported EBITDA of $1.16 million in the third quarter of 2006, the year-over-year difference (before foreign exchange adjustments) would range from a drop of 1% to an increase of 14%. On a sequential basis, projected third-quarter 2007 EBITDA would be 18% to 35% (before foreign exchange adjustments) above the EBITDA of $974,800 reported in the second quarter ended June 30, 2007. EBIDTA, excluding non-cash expenses and gains on disposable capital assets, and neutral of foreign exchange adjustments, is expected to reach between $1.32 million to $1.50 million in the third quarter of 2007, compared to $1.18 million from a year ago, an increase of between 12 % to 26%.

As in prior quarters, the net income and EPS results are expected to be affected substantially by non-cash adjustments related to the Company's capital structure. These include quarterly revaluations of the Company's warrant liabilities, which change in value inversely to the price of its stock. For that reason, the Company believes EBITDA provides a useful tool, in conjunction with GAAP reporting, for gauging the ongoing performance of its operating units.

Creative Vistas' Chairman and CEO Sayan Navaratnam commented, "The guidance we provide today shows the continuation of robust revenue growth and consistent profitability, on an EBITDA basis, for the Company. It will represent the seventh consecutive quarter with positive EBITDA. It also will represent the seventh consecutive quarter in which we have experienced growth in revenue on a year-over-year basis. This is a testament to the strong management team and our capability to execute our operational plan while strategically positioning the business for the future. We are continuously working to evolve the business strategically by building out technologies and preparing for the launch of our branded product and service offering in 2008, Dependable Home."

For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, the Company expects revenues to range from $28.1 million to $28.6 million, up 24% to 26% from $22.7 million reported in the first nine months of 2006. It expects EBITDA, excluding non-cash items, and gains on disposal of capital items, neutral of foreign exchange adjustments for the first nine months of 2007 to range from $3.07 million to $3.25 million, compared to $2.21 million for the same period a year ago, an increase of 39% to 47%.
