MDI Announces 2006 Results and Expects ''Record-Breaking'' Revenues in 2007

SAN ANTONIO, Texas --(Business Wire)-- MDI, Inc. (NASDAQ:MDII), the leading provider of Unified Technology(TM) solutions for the security industry today announced results for the year-ended December 31, 2006.

"MDI, Inc.'s long-term vision to become a leading security solutions provider, capable of taking each tier of a complex enterprise security project, from concept to completion has been realized. Our solution is unique in that it includes products, program management and professional services in one package, direct from the manufacturer," stated J. Collier Sparks, President and CEO of MDI. "We brought together the best security talent in the industry to transform our business into a project-focused solutions organization that delivers a comprehensive suite of high-end professional services and Enterprise-Grade Software and Hardware product offerings. MDI can now provide more direct value than any other firm to accommodate the unified security needs of large enterprise organizations."



Commenting on the year end results, Mr. Sparks said, "We ended up the year with revenue of $8.72 million, which roughly equaled 2005's revenue of $8.79 million. However, backlog at the end of 2006 was $2.1 million, which was an increase of $1.2 million over 2005. We are currently filling this $2.1 million worth of orders. Looking ahead, we are excited by our near- and long-term growth prospects and believe that 2007 will represent an unprecedented year of growth and profitability for our Company."

For 2007, the Company expects revenue to be in the range of $35 million and the Company estimates earnings at $8 million. The Company bases these estimates on the following assumptions:

-- Continued sales of an estimated $8 million from our traditional
 products business in the commercial and federal government sectors,
 including the following projects which we expect to have awarded to
 us in April:
  -- A major school district in California, which will use MDI
   products to unify total security for 200 buildings including a
   state of the art IP network video system;
  -- A complete program management and professional services project
   to install MDI products for a large high-security system at an
   Army Base in the Southern United States;
  -- Unified access control and alarm management for a large
   correctional institution system in North Carolina; and
  -- Unified access control and intrusion detection systems for two
   key military bases.
-- The placement of $25 million in tasking orders by Stratis Authority
 for the design and installation of security systems under the Learn
 Safe(TM) program as committed by Stratis Authority on February 28,
 2007 in the blanket purchase order it issued to the Company.
-- Fulfillment of two tasking orders we have received from Stratis
 totaling $2,537,000 which are based on proposals previously
 submitted by MDI to Stratis which are over and above the $25
 million worth of projects described in the blanket purchase order
 issued to MDI by Stratis on February 28, 2007.
-- The funding by Stratis Authority of its January 31, 2007 $2.6
 million commitment to the Company.





Cost of sales for 2006 was $4.419 million compared to $4.627 million for 2005 and gross margins improved to 49% in 2006 compared to 47% in 2005. While selling, general and administrative expenses increased in 2006 to $10.751 million, compared to $9.495 million for 2005, the increase of $1,256 was due in large part to the non-cash stock option expense of $732 during 2006. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues were 123% and 108% for the years 2006 and 2005, respectively.
