Questor Technology Inc. ("Questor" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:QST) announced
today its financial and operating results for the first quarter of 2012. The
Company reported a profit of $487,438 ($0.020 per basic share) for the three
months ended March 31, 2012 compared to a loss of $119,541 ($0.005 per basic
share) for the same three-month period last year.
This substantial increase in profit was due primarily to higher revenue arising
from differences in the volume and mix of incinerator sales in each quarter and
to the stronger margins achieved in 2012. Higher utilization of the rental
incinerator fleet and lower administration expenses in first quarter 2012
further contributed to the positive profit variance for the three months ended
March 31, 2012. Partially offsetting this favourable result was higher income
tax expense.

"We have had a strong, profitable start to the year," said Audrey Mascarenhas,
President and Chief Executive Officer. "The new emission standards for hazardous
air pollutants ("NESHAP") introduced in April 2012 by the Environmental
Protection Agency in the United States has heightened demand for our
incineration technology. In addition, regulation in Europe is becoming
increasingly focused on emissions and some countries have begun to disallow open
flaring, thereby creating an opportunity for Questor. In the coming year, we
will pursue expansion of the Company's presence in the United States and
European markets.
We are looking forward to the Company's continued growth as the marketplace
recognizes the economic and operational benefits Questor's clean air solutions
offer," concluded Ms. Mascarenhas.
Shareholders are invited to attend the Company's Annual General Meeting to be
held on Tuesday, June 5, 2012 at 3:00 p.m. MDT in the Cardium Room of the
Calgary Petroleum Club, located at 319 - 5th Avenue S.W., Calgary, Alberta. In
addition to the formal business items, management will be presenting an overview
of Questor's results for the financial year ended December 31, 2011 and first
quarter ended March 31, 2012 and discussing the Company's strategic initiatives
for 2012.
Questor's unaudited condensed financial statements and notes thereto and
management's discussion and analysis for the three months ended March 31, 2012
will be available shortly on the Company's website at www.questortech.com and
