ALLIANCE DISTRIBUTORS HOLDING INC. REPORTS
THIRD QUARTER 2006 FINANCIAL RESULTS
Year-to-Date Sales Increased 15% over Previous Year
For Immediate Release
New York, New York - November 14, 2006 - Alliance Distributors Holding Inc. (OTC
Bulletin Board: ADTR), a distributor of interactive video games and gaming
products, announced its financial results for the third quarter of 2006.
Net sales for the quarter increased 14% to $15.4 million compared to $13.6
million in the third quarter of 2005. The company incurred a net loss of
$283,000, or $0.01 per share, compared to net income of $222,000, or $0.00 per
share, in the 2005 period. Approximately $100,000 of the pre-tax loss is
attributable to a litigation settlement and approximately $150,000 is associated
with the relocation of the Company's headquarters, warehouse and showroom, as
well as the opening of a new warehouse and showroom in Florida. The Company's
profit margin was reduced by extensive sales incentives to drive traffic to its
new showroom facilities in advance of the holiday sales season.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, net sales increased 15% to $42.0
million, compared to $36.7 million for the same period in 2005. The company
incurred a net loss of $304,000, or $0.01 per share, compared to a net loss of
$243,000, or $0.01 per share in the 2005 period. The net loss for the 2006
period reflects a $257,000 charge in the first quarter for transaction costs of
a proposed acquisition that was not consummated, as well as the events referred
to in the preceding paragraph. The loss was partially offset by approximately
$105,000 of pre-tax income from insurance proceeds recognized in the second
quarter for assets in excess of the book value of these assets.
Jay Gelman, Chairman and CEO, said, "During the quarter we completed the
relocation of our corporate offices, wholesale showroom, and warehouse to 1160
Commerce Ave in the Bronx. The new facility gives us almost 10,000 additional
square feet of operating space, and allows us to be more efficient in selling to
and servicing our growing customer base. We tripled the size of our wholesale
showroom and gave our customers more product selection and better presentation."
"We also expanded into a new market by opening our new facility at 2310 NW 102nd
Pl. Miami, Florida. This new location includes a wholesale showroom, warehouse
and offices. Although the Florida location has only been operational since mid
September we are excited to see that a strong base of potential business is
already developing."

period ended September 30, 2006.
