WATERLOO, ONTARIO--(MARKET WIRE)--Sep 22, 2008 -- TURBOSONIC TECHNOLOGIES, INC. (OTC BB:TSTA.OB - News), a leading provider of air pollution control technologies, today announced the following audited operating results for its twelve-month fiscal year ended June 30, 2008:

Commenting on the Company's results, Edward Spink, TurboSonic Chairman and CEO, said, "The operating results for the first three quarters of our 2008 fiscal year were disappointing, principally due to the contraction of the wood products (building) industry and housing markets in the United States. Our successes in a number of industries, including Oil, Pulp, Wood and Cement, and our growing presence in the European market have contributed to a net income before taxes of $346,930 in the fourth quarter and a $5.7 million backlog entering our new fiscal year. New contracts announced in this current first quarter already exceed $12 million. Our strategy, embracing industry and geographic diversification, is designed to balance conditions in our traditional markets. We believe that this strategy, combined with the environmental awareness and motivation of the "greening" revolution will generate both a strong and continuing demand for our products."
