Revenues

Net revenues climbed to US$4.0 million in Q1 2008, up from US$3.5 million for the same period the year before, an increase of 12%. The increase was attributable to new titles released on Wii, DS, PS2 and PC platforms.

Gross Profit

Gross profit was US$2.2 million compared to US$2.4 million for the same period in 2007. This slight decrease is related to higher manufacturing costs for titles published on multiple platforms.

Operating Profit

Recorded net profit from operations for the first quarter ended March 31, 2008, increased to US$0.744 million versus US$0.691 million in Q1 2007.

Net Profits

Net profits for the quarter amounted to US$0.7 million, versus US$0.8 million in net profit for the first quarter of 2007. The small decrease was caused by Obscure II Wii being distributed in the first week of the Second quarter of 2008 and as such not accounted for in the First quarter.

Profit per Share

For Q1 2008 profit per share is US$0.02 (38.6 million average outstanding) compared to US$0.03 (25.3 million average outstanding) in Q1 of the previous year.

Outlook Second Quarter 2008

The company expects for the second quarter the same or higher net revenues and net profits compared to the first quarter 2008.

Net profit per share for Q2 2008 is expected to be equal or higher than the profit per share of the first quarter 2008.

Current Climate

The growing number of titles published as well as the continuing First Party relationship with Sony Computer Entertainment Europe all contributed to strong first quarter results. Further marketing investments are continued to be made ensuring worldwide visibility and increased units sales of titles published.

"The profit for Q1 2008 demonstrates that we are on track with previously announced expected results," said Playlogic's CEO, Willem M. Smit. "Playlogic has anticipated timely on market trends and has diversified its publishing portfolio further with new titles on multiple platforms. The publishing line up shifted towards increased number of titles published on console platforms as the installed base continues to grow."

The Company expects further increase in revenues and gross profit as more new titles are being published on console and PC platforms. Revenues might fluctuate per quarter reflecting actual release dates. Nevertheless, Playlogic expects to see steady revenue growth with continued profitability.

Energy Focus, Inc. Reports First Quarter 2008 Results

SOLON, Ohio, May 8 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Energy Focus, Inc. today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2008.

Financial and operating highlights include the following: -- Revenues for the first quarter of 2008 were $4.8 million, a decrease of 3% over sales of $5.0 million for the same quarter in 2007. The net loss in the quarter was $3.4 million ($0.28 per share) compared to the net loss of $2.6 million ($0.23 per share) in the first quarter of 2007. -- The company finished the first quarter with a balance sheet showing cash at $14.8 million and total shareholders equity of $28.1 million, which included $9.4 million, received March 17, 2008 from an equity financing, net of expenses. Cash utilization for the first quarter of 2008 was $3.2 million, compared to $3.9 million for the first quarter of 2007. -- Operating expenses increased by 11%, $468,000, for the quarter. Much of the increase is attributable to the timing of R&D expenses. However, management expects the company to obtain full benefit of these contract cost recoveries by Q4 2008. -- EFO(R) sales increased to $2.1 million for the first quarter of 2008 compared to $1.1 million in 2007. -- The company is holding to a previously forecast doubling of EFO(R) sales in 2008 as compared to 2007, with EFO(R) sales accounting for about 50% of EFOI's revenue in 2008 of which approximately 40% of EFO(R) sales expected in the first half and approximately 60% expected in second half. As previously forecast, traditional product sales are also expected to continue to decline by about 15% over the course of the year.

John Davenport, president of Energy Focus, Inc., said, "First quarter revenues, declining 3% over Q1 2007 revenues, showed a significant improvement in the quarter compared to the 24% decline experienced in Q4 2007. EFO sales at $2.1 million were up about $1.0 million in the quarter offsetting forecast traditional product declines that were led by declines in our pool sales. EFO sales now account for 44% of the company's revenues, compared to 39% of revenues in the fourth quarter." Mr. Davenport continued, "We expect to continue to see strong quarter over quarter growth in EFO sales through 2008 overcoming forecast declines in our traditional product sales. We are particularly encouraged by our sales growth through our new distribution partners."

Eric Hilliard, Chief Operating Officer said, "Energy Focus's continued pursuit of operational efficiency initiatives for 2008 have shown further improvements as seen in the reduction of working capital. Additionally, the first quarter showed much progress in our distribution alliances with our new EFO(R)-LED products for commercial and industrial markets. Our fiscal outlook is promising for these new products and EFOI is encouraged to continue its EFO(R) product development for applications in this market. Moreover, EFOI continues to pursue opportunities into the US Government channel. We now have an installation of EFO(R)-ICE for freezer case applications on test with a United States Commissary. Finally, our first quarter is in line with our expectations for delivering the first half of 2008 as planned with 40% of EFO(R) product sales for our 2008 forecast being met."

Energy Focus, Inc. management will host a conference call on May 8, 2008 at 11:30 a.m. EDT (8:30 a.m. PDT) to review the first quarter 2008 financial results and other corporate events, followed by a Q & A session.

Former Houston ISD Trustee and Board President Joins Voyager Expanded Learning

DALLAS, May 8 /PRNewswire/ -- Voyager Expanded Learning announced today that former Houston Independent School District Trustee and Board President, Kevin H. Hoffman has joined the company as a National District Liaison. In his new role, Mr. Hoffman will work with educators from across the country, enhancing the customer service experience and sharing student results.

"We are excited to have Mr. Hoffman become a part of the Voyager team. His experience as a School Board President, his advocacy for children and his numerous accomplishments make him ideal for the position," says Ron Klausner, president of Voyager Expanded Learning.

Mr. Hoffman was elected to the Houston Board of Education in 1999 and re-elected in 2003. He was elected by his peers to the position of first vice president in 2001 and 2002. In 2003, Hoffman became the first trustee from District II to serve as President of the Board of Education.

Hoffman has established and participated in many educational and community-based programs.

Next Inning Technology Updates Outlooks for Apple, Towerstream, Harmonic, and Intel

PRINCETON, N.J., May 8 /PRNewswire/ -- Next Inning Technology Research (http://www.nextinning.com/), a subscription service focused on semiconductor and technology stocks, announced it has updated outlooks for Apple , Towerstream , Harmonic , and Intel .

This has been a very profitable earnings season for Next Inning readers. Editor Paul McWilliams suggested that his readers consider buying Flextronics, Microchip and NetLogic ahead of their earnings reports. Investors interested in what he has to say about the tech companies reporting today are invited to take advantage of our 21-day free trial offer:

https://www.nextinning.com/subscribe/index.php?refer=prn671

In response to a reader's question, McWilliams wrote: "Somewhere back in the archives you'll find an old post predicting that Apple will realize 20% market share in the PC market by the end of the decade (end of 2010). Even though that still looks aggressive today, I think I'll stick with it, but with one clarification..."

McWilliams also looks at these topics: -- Does McWilliams think it's time to hedge long positions in Apple with covered calls due to its sharp run up? What are the clues indicating collaboration between Apple and Cisco and what would this mean for Apple? -- Towerstream committed to becoming EBITDA positive by the end of Q1 2009. According to McWilliams, what revenue level and year-over-year growth rate will this require? Does McWilliams think Towerstream is performing in line with reasonable expectations and is positioned to achieve this goal? -- Are there valid reasons for the recent weakness in Harmonic stock? Does this present a buying opportunity for investors? -- Why does McWilliams consider Intel a "Core Four" stock and what does this distinction indicate?

Founded in September 2002, Next Inning's model portfolio has returned 219% since its inception versus 88% for the Nasdaq.

St. Lawrence County Residents to Benefit from Verizon Wireless Network ExpansionInvesting to Stay Ahead of Growing Demand for Wireless Calling, Data Access, and Music

POTSDAM, N.Y., May 8 /PRNewswire/ -- In a continuing effort to provide the best wireless service for local residents in St. Lawrence County, Verizon Wireless has expanded its network with a new cell site in Waddington. The new site improves coverage and capacity along Route 37 between Keystone Road and McGinnis Road.

This network expansion is part of the company's aggressive multi-billion dollar network investment each year to stay ahead of the growing demand for Verizon Wireless voice and data services. The company has invested more than $45 billion since it was formed -- on average, more than $5.5 billion every year -- to increase the coverage and capacity of its national network and to add new services, including wireless data services such as picture messaging, text messaging, and wireless Internet access. NationalAccess, the company's national high-speed wireless data network, provides wireless Internet access at speeds between 60 and 80 kbps, with bursts up to 144 kbps.

Strong demand for Verizon Wireless services continued during the first quarter of 2008 as the company added 1.5 million new customers. Verizon Wireless, the wireless company with the highest customer loyalty, reported the lowest customer turnover (highest customer loyalty) rate in the industry -- 1.2% in the first quarter -- for the 14th consecutive quarter.

The company's 'nation's most reliable wireless network' reputation is based on network studies performed by real-life test men and test women throughout the country who inspired the "Can you hear me now" national advertising campaign. These engineers drive nearly 100 specially equipped vehicles over 240,000 miles on average each quarter on Interstate, US and state highways, as well as major roads and surface streets. Test vehicles are equipped with computers that automatically make more than 750,000 voice call attempts and more than four million data tests annually on Verizon Wireless' network and the networks of other carriers.

Last year, Verizon Wireless introduced its 30-day Test Drive, an industry first that lets customers experience its network virtually risk-free for 30 days. If customers are not satisfied with their experience and take their number to another carrier, Verizon Wireless will refund their money for calls, equipment, activation fee and taxes.

Telepresence Leader Teliris Receives $10 Million in Debt Financing from Silicon Valley BankDebt Financing Will Help Support Fast-Paced Company Growth and Expansion

NEW YORK, May 8 /PRNewswire/ -- Teliris, the leading provider of telepresence solutions, announced today it has secured $10 million in debt financing from Silicon Valley Bank, the premier commercial bank for technology companies and a member company of SVB Financial Group . The debt financing will be used to fund expansion and working capital requirements as a result of its fast-paced global growth as it continues to capitalize on its market leadership in the telepresence industry.

In April, Teliris opened its new state-of-the-art headquarters located in the Financial District of New York City that will include its soon-to-be released fifth generation solution, as well as specialized research labs. The lab will be dedicated to the growth of the next generation of collaboration technologies.

Over the past two years, the company has experienced total growth of over 170 percent allowing for key executives hires, and quadrupling its sales and marketing teams.

Teliris' VirtuaLive(TM) Telepresence solutions provide the most natural and intimate virtual meeting environment available on the market. Its flexibility, reliability and cost effectiveness meet the demanding needs of its large, diverse customer base.

As the company with the largest installed base of paying customers, holding 44 percent of the global market share and the most immersive, natural telepresence experience available, Teliris clients benefit from reduced travel costs, improved productivity and employee work/life balance, a secure business continuity plan as well as an efficient and effective carbon reduction tool.

"This financing clearly demonstrates our tremendous rate of growth and unmatched leadership within the telepresence industry," said Marc Trachtenberg, Teliris CEO and co-founder. "Even in these challenging economic times, Teliris has driven the market to new levels of innovation and expanded into more than 26 countries. This is just the beginning for Teliris; with a global partner such as SVB we will continue to push the limits of telepresence until it becomes as commonplace as a conference room at every multinational company."
