PDSi Reports Improved 2008 First Quarter ResultsContact: COLUMBUS, Ohio – May 13, 2008 – Pinnacle Data Systems, Inc. (“PDSi”) (AMEX: PNS) today announced results for the 2008 first quarter ended March 31, 2008. Michael R. Sayre, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “The 2008 first quarter results reflect positive contributions from further implementation of our focused growth strategy. Net income was $0.03 per diluted share for the 2008 first quarter compared to a net loss of $0.08 per share last year. Total sales were 5% below the prior year primarily due to replacing lower margin programs with higher margin business. The margin improvement, both in absolute dollars and as a percent of sales, coupled with lower operating expenses contributed to the improved profitability.” Mr. Sayre continued, “Successful completion of the Aspan acquisition during the first quarter strengthens PDSi’s physical footprint and establishes us as a global provider of high-end computer related repair and logistics services. Our capabilities and our increased level of regional commitment are now more attractive to multi-national OEM customers as reflected in the increased sales activity levels. PDSi’s customers are seeking a qualified, single source provider of depot repair services for their products in a time-efficient and cost-effective manner around the world. We plan to leverage our global presence through our facilities in the North America, Asia Pacific and EMEA regions.” First Quarter 2008 Total sales for the three months ended March 31, 2008, were $17.2 million versus $18.5 million for the same period in 2007. A $0.5 million increase in Service sales, benefiting from the acquisition of Aspan Computer Repair Laboratories B.V. (Aspan) on February 20, 2008, partially offset a $1.8 million decline in Product sales for the 2008 first quarter compared to the prior year. The Company’s sales continue to fluctuate on a quarterly basis due to the impact of large programs, especially for its multinational OEM customers. Gross profit improved 11% to $3.7 million for the 2008 first quarter from $3.4 million a year ago due to a more profitable mix of business. The Company has been actively reducing the volume of lower margin programs since the 2007 third quarter and replacing it with higher margin business. Gross profit margin was 21.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to 18.2% for the same period last year. Operating expenses, which include selling, general, and administrative (“SG&A”) expense, declined 17% to $3.2 million for the 2008 first quarter from $3.9 million for the 2007 first quarter. The Company improved its cost structure through reductions in personnel and corresponding benefits costs, as well as lower facility and travel expenses. Operating expenses expressed as a percentage of total revenues were 18.7% versus 21.1% for the same period last year. Interest expense declined 64% to $91,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008, from $250,000 the prior year. The Company completed a $2.5 million private equity financing during the 2007 fourth quarter and used approximately one-half of the proceeds to complete the Aspan acquisition. The remaining amount is being used for general corporate purposes, including implementation of infrastructure improvements. Net income was $264,000, or $0.03 on a diluted share basis, versus a net loss of $481,000, or $(0.08) per diluted share, for the 2007 first quarter. The weighted average number of common diluted shares outstanding for the 2008 first quarter increased 22% primarily due to the 2007 fourth quarter private equity financing. Debt outstanding at March 31, 2008 was $7.7 million versus $13.0 million on the same date last year. This 41% reduction is attributable to improved operations and management of working capital during the past twelve months. 2008 Highlights Since January 1, 2008, PDSi:
