Infinite Group, Inc. Reports Third Quarter Results

    WARWICK, R.I.--Nov. 10, 1999--Infinite Group, Inc. today announced revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 1999 of $2,892,258 compared with revenues of $1,703,793 for the three months ended September 30, 1998. Additionally Infinite reported a net loss of $834,635 or $0.38 loss per share, as compared with a net loss of $392,711 or $0.15 loss per share for the quarter ended September 30, 1998.
    Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 were $6,813,998 compared with revenues of $5,468,916 during the nine months ended September 30, 1998. Infinite reported net income for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 of $748,086, or $0.34 per share, compared with a net loss of $1,204,935, or $0.45 loss per share, for the nine months ended September 30, 1998. The 1999 nine-month results reflect a net gain of approximately $3.6 million in the first quarter 1999 from the sale of our equity interest in Spectra Science and an extraordinary loss of $222,864 in the second quarter 1999 from early extinguishment of debt.
    "The results for the three and nine months ending September 30, 1999 were adversely impacted by continued delayed receipt of materials, primarily from aerospace customers, and retooling of certain aerospace products that negatively impacted Laser Fare revenues," said Clifford G. Brockmyre, president of Infinite Group, Inc. "Additionally, costs associated with the acquisition of Osley & Whitney and startup of Express Pattern further impacted earnings," said Mr. Brockmyre.
    Infinite continues to advance its proprietary technology in its key markets for laser materials processing (cutting, welding, drilling and engraving) and high productivity mold building for the aerospace, medical device, power generation, automotive, consumer sporting goods and office machine industries.
