Radiant Energy Corporation (TSX VENTURE: RDT) ("Radiant" or the "Company") (amounts in U.S. dollars), the developer and marketer of radiant aircraft de-icing systems, announced its results for the year ended October 31, 2008, which are also available on SEDAR.

The Company reported a loss of $3,831,130, or $0.02 per share for the year ended October 31, 2008 compared with a loss of $6,255,826, or $0.06 per share for the year ended October 31, 2007. Losses in 2007 were impacted significantly by the write-off of a deicing facility in Norway of $3,136,985. The results of the Company's Norwegian operations have been reported as a discontinued operation in the Company's consolidated financial statements following a decision during the year to cease the operation. The loss reported for 2008 from the Company's continuing operations was $3,534,365 compared with a loss for the 2007 year of $1,712,936. Revenues of $270,760 for the year ended October 31, 2008 were marginally higher than in 2007, however expenses incurred to operate the deicing facility were much higher, as were operating expenses which increased as a result of a new management team, marketing initiatives and professional fees. Losses from the discontinued operation were reduced significantly in 2008, as the negative impact of a large expense recorded in respect of a VAT tax assessment in Norway were offset by gains from debt settlements, the disposal of the deicing facility and foreign exchange translation gains.

For the three months ended October 31, 2008, the Company reported income of $759,169 compared with a loss of $2,062,211 for the three-month period ended on October 31, 2007. The loss from continuing operations of $858,259 for the three-month period in 2008 was $548,801 higher than the loss of $309,458 in 2007. The Company incurred a debt settlement loss of $153,893 in the 2008 fourth quarter compared with debt settlement gains of $373,561 in the prior year. Income of $1,617,428 was reported from the discontinued operation for the three-month period ended October 31, 2008, higher by $3,370,181 when compared with a loss of $1,752,753 in 2007. Losses in the previous year resulted from the write-off of the Norway facility, while income in the three month period ended October 31, 2008 resulted from debt settlement gains, gains related to the disposal of the facility and foreign exchange translation gains.
