I am proud of our people and the results of their efforts as we strive toward further revenue growth and customer expansion," commented James M. Powers, Jr., president and chief executive officer of iLinc Communications. "During the third fiscal quarter, we continued to grow revenues with sales within our notable customer base, while also adding 115 new Web conferencing and audio conferencing customers. We remain committed to overall financial improvement while continuing to invest in technology and product development."

James Dunn, Jr., senior vice president and chief financial officer of iLinc Communications, said, "During the last two quarters we focused on cost reductions and cost containment that could sustain revenue growth while achieving operational improvement. We hope our continued improvement in both our top and bottom line demonstrates to our customers, partners and shareholders our commitment to financial sustainability and quarterly growth. We will continue to hold down overhead where possible and take other steps necessary to further improve our balance sheet and overall debt level. Having stabilized our expense structure and focused our sales model, we expect to see gains in operating profit as we sustain revenue growth for the coming quarters."

Dr. Powers continued, "With our unique license model and the scalability of our product line, we remain very well positioned to take advantage of the rapid growth projected in the Web conferencing industry. Quarter over quarter we continue to win customers from larger competitors by leveraging our competitive advantages. To provide further distribution of our award-winning software, we expect to foster and implement strategic partnerships and transactions that we believe will provide external growth opportunities as well as sustainable financial improvement."

(1) Explanation of EBITDA, Non-GAAP Financial Measure

We report 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.
