ILC Ilinc Communications,

iLinc (AMEX:ILC), a leader in web conferencing, desktop video conferencing software and collaboration solutions, today announced results for the first fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2008. Significant Change to Financial Statement Presentation: With the sale of the Company�s audio conferencing assets1 the Company has reclassified the results of its audio conferencing business operations into discontinued operations. With that reclassification, audio conferencing revenue and associated audio conferencing expenses were netted into income from discontinued operations for the first quarter of fiscal 2009, and on a proforma basis, for the same quarter last fiscal year, respectively. Likewise, the gain on the sale of audio conferencing assets is included in discontinued operations. Therefore, all comparisons to prior periods take into account the reclassification of audio conferencing operations and the gain on sale into discontinued operations. First quarter total revenues from continuing operations were $1.9 million, a decrease of 24% when compared to total revenue of $2.5 million for the same quarter last fiscal year. Total revenues increased by $353,000 or 23% when compared to the March quarter. The Company reported a net income from continuing and discontinued operations of $1.2 million or $0.04 per basic and $0.04 per diluted share during the first quarter, as compared with net income of $78,000, or break-even per basic and diluted share, for the same quarter last fiscal year. The Company recorded a gain of $2 million on the sale of its audio conferencing business. The Company reported adjusted EBITDA2 of $1.7 million from continuing and discontinued operations for the first quarter, as compared to $687,000 of adjusted EBITDA2 for the same quarter last fiscal year. The Company also reported adjusted EBITDA2 from continuing operations of ($254,000) during the first quarter, as compared to adjusted EBITDA2 of $30,000 from continuing operations for the same quarter last fiscal year. James M. Powers, Jr., President and Chief Executive Officer of iLinc, said, �iLinc has undergone some significant changes in the past six months and is very well positioned in this high growth web and video conferencing market. First, we redirected our sales strategy toward the more prevalent Software-as-a-Service model in early 2008. Our goal is to grow long-term subscription revenue while continuing to sell software in those vertical markets where advantageous. We are well underway with that effort and have begun to see the results in the form of shortened sales cycles, increased transaction counts and continued enthusiasm in the market for our products. Sales this quarter provided a record number of subscription transactions, monthly recurring revenue and growing backlog. To further our transition to a SaaS provider of award-winning collaboration software, we successfully sold our audio conferencing assets. That sale resulted in almost $4.5 million in cash and a $2 million gain from an asset that customers and investors alike perceived as increasingly commoditized,� added Dr. Powers. �The transition to the SaaS model reduced our short-term quarterly revenue and we planned for this impact, but we believe over time it will provide long-term compounding subscription revenue that will greatly enhance the value of our company. After only four months, we see increasing rates of adoption that should provide recurring monthly revenue well into the future. As an early indicator of that forward-looking trend, our total subscription revenues were up almost 10% when compared to the March quarter. We look forward to further describing the sales trends that give us confidence about our future on the earnings call today,� concluded Dr. Powers. James L. Dunn, Jr., Chief Financial Officer of iLinc, said, �Because of the reclassification from the sale of audio and the shift from software to SaaS revenue, we felt it important to provide not only comparisons to the same period last fiscal year but also to the more relevant March quarter (Q4 of FY2008). We are pleased to have raised capital in difficult capital markets and plan to judiciously deploy that capital to foster the growth of our increasingly popular SaaS model,� concluded Mr. Dunn.

Pursuant to the criteria established by Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment of Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, iLinc had characterized its audio assets as �assets held-for-sale� as of March 31, 2008 and the results of the audio conferencing operations as discontinued operations. With the consummation of the sale of those assets in June, iLinc has reclassified audio conferencing assets and liabilities as �related to discontinued operations� on the Balance Sheet and all audio conferencing income and expense as discontinued operations on the Statement of Operations. The results of prior periods have been reclassified to provide proforma comparisons to current periods after taking into effect the reclassification required by SFAS 144. 2 Explanation of Adjusted EBITDA, a Non-GAAP Financial Measure We report adjusted EBITDA, a financial measure that is not defined by Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. We believe that adjusted EBITDA is a useful performance metric for our investors and is a measure of operating performance that is commonly reported and widely used by financial and industry analysts, investors and other interested parties because it eliminates significant non-cash and/or one-time charges to earnings. It is important to note that non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or superior to, net income (loss), cash flows, or other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of net income to adjusted EBITDA is as follows for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007. � Three months endedJune 30, 2008 � 2007 (in thousands) Net Income $ 1,206 $ 78 Non-cash charges and credits: Interest expense 337 364 Financing and late fees 9 13 Warrant expense � 21 Gain on sale of assets 1 � Income tax 21 21 Interest income (12 ) (7 ) Stock compensation expense 43 36 Depreciation 66 66 Amortization � 53 � � � 95 � Adjusted EBITDA $ 1,724 � � $ 687 � About iLinc Communications, Inc. iLinc, a recognized leader in web conferencing, desktop video conferencing software and collaboration solutions, aims to revolutionize the way organizations meet and communicate.
