Consolidated Mercantile Incorporated (TSX - "CMC" - common) (NASDAQ - "CSLMF" - common) TORONTO, Aug. 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2006 decreased to approximately $14.7 million from $18.2 million in the comparable 2005 period. Sales reflect the consolidation of Distinctive Designs Furniture Inc., the Company's furniture manufacturing subsidiary. Competitive market conditions resulted in reduced sales volumes at Distinctive. Net Loss for the period was $4.2 million compared to $1.9 million in the preceding year. Results for the period were impacted by the furniture operations, the Company's equity position at Polyair and a revaluation of the future income tax benefits on non-capital loss carry forwards. Loss per share for the period was $0.82 compared with $0.38 in the comparable 2005 period.
