En Pointe Technologies, Inc. Reports Financial Results for the First Quarter of Fiscal 2006 – Software Licensing Sales up 69% Over First Quarter of Fiscal 2005

Los Angeles, CA – February 14, 2006 — En Pointe Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:ENPT), a leading national provider of business-to-business information technology products, services and solutions, today announced consolidated results for its first fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2005. Total net sales, including a 69% increase in software licensing revenues, in the first quarter of fiscal 2006 grew 5% to $78.7 million as compared to the $75.3 million reported for the first quarter of fiscal 2005. En Pointe experienced a net loss for the first quarter of fiscal 2006 of $1.0 million, or $0.14 per basic and diluted share, as compared with the net income of $0.3 million, or $0.04 per basic and diluted share, reported in the first quarter of fiscal 2005.

“While we were not satisfied with our first quarter financial results, we executed well on a number of fronts,” said Bob Din, CEO of En Pointe Technologies, Inc. “Our fledgling software division has continued to please us with its robust growth and we anticipate more of the same in the future. In January we completed an asset acquisition from a software reseller that should provide additional opportunities for us in Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana and Arkansas and also gives us an entrée into the security services business. Our management resources will now be focused on the core business, and we have a number of initiatives underway designed to improve our results going forward.” One such initiative under consideration is plans to deconsolidate an affiliate with loss operations that presently is required to be consolidated under FIN 46.”

Product revenues, including a 69% boost in software license sales, increased 5% while service revenues held constant for the December 2005 quarter, as compared with that of the December 2004 quarter.

Compared to the same quarter last year, total gross profits declined 16%, from $8.9 million to $7.5 million, with product gross profits declining 18% and services gross profits declining 12%. While the service gross profit percentage remained at 30%, unchanged from that of the September 2005 quarter, the gross profit margin was 5% less than that of the December 2004 quarter reflecting the competitive pricing En Pointe has experienced in the marketplace while attracting new business. During the December 2005 quarter, En Pointe’s logistics and managed services business contributed $3.5 million, or 46%, of En Pointe’s total gross profits, as compared to $3.9 million, or 44%, in the December 2004 quarter. The decline in product gross profits in the December 2005 quarter relates, in part, to lower rebate income.
