And Declares DividendLEICESTER, NY... August 11, 2006 - CPAC, Inc. (Nasdaq: CPAK) today reported first quarter results for the fiscal year beginning April 1, 2006. The Board of Directors has declared a cash dividend in the amount of $0.07 per share payable on September 22, 2006 to shareholders of record at the close of business on August 25, 2006.
Q1 Consolidated Results Net sales for the first quarter ended June 30, 2006 increased 6.7% to $23.9 million compared to $22.4 million for the same quarter last year.
First quarter net income was $1.1 million or $0.22 per diluted share versus a net loss of $(139,000) or $(0.03) per diluted share for the same period last year.
Thomas J. Weldgen, VP Finance, Chief Financial Officer and Acting CEO of CPAC, Inc., remarked, "Both segments of our business experienced sales growth and profitability, resulting in the highest first quarter earnings per share reported in the last five years. The sales performance and operational expense reductions continued the trend started in the previous fiscal year's fourth quarter. Sales improvements resulted from several new customer relationships and contracts being executed within Fuller's commercial cleaning division, and in the International Imaging entities. In addition, television home shopping sales on QVC increased significantly in this quarter due to new product offerings and incremental airings."

Q1 Results and Highlights by Segment
Fuller Brands SegmentFirst quarter net sales in the Fuller Brands segment increased 6.4% to $15.4 million versus $14.5 million last year. Operating profit increased by nearly $1.0 million to $1.3 million this year.
-- Fuller Brush sales increased 11.7% for the period, based on improved television home shopping, retail, and custom brush sales. Retail sales increases were driven by additional product placements in a major national home improvement chain.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
23-- Cleaning Technologies Group (CTG) sales increased by 6.2% for the quarter, largely the result of increased national accounts business. Its recent relationship with a leading industrial solvents distributor was also a contributor to increased sales.

CPAC Imaging SegmentFirst quarter Imaging sales were $8.5 million versus $7.9 million last year, an increase of 7.4%. Operating income was $114,000 compared to an operating loss of $(241,000) in the same period last year.
-- International Imaging sales were up by 18.2% over last year's first quarter, despite currency impacts. The Company expects to report continued strong sales and profit growth in foreign markets in its second fiscal quarter.
-- Domestic sales of medical imaging and photographic chemistry were flat. CPAC Imaging, Americas has recently negotiated distribution and manufacturing agreements to supply other companies' traditional Imaging products in keeping with CPAC's strategy to be a preferred outsource Imaging supplier. This new business is expected to provide incremental growth to domestic operations for the remainder of the fiscal year.
Other Financial Information:Mr. Weldgen said, "Due to the Company's strong first quarter performance, cash increased approximately $1.2 million during the period, after capital expenditures and dividend payments.
