OWING MILLS, Nov. 15, Avatech Solutions, Inc. (OTCBB:AVSO) , the nationwide technology experts for design, engineering, and facilities management, today announced financial results for its first quarter ended September 30, 2006.
Total revenue grew 30.6% over the same quarter in the prior fiscal year and totaled $12,045,000 compared to $9,227,000 in the prior period. For the three months ended September 30, 2006, Avatech reported net income of $36,000, or $0.00 per fully diluted share, compared to net income of $166,000, or $0.01 per fully diluted share, in the same period last year.
The Company noted that its services revenue was ahead of its plan, increasing 40.6% from the same period in fiscal year 2006 and that its commission revenue increased 88.2% from year to year. While a portion of the increases in services and commission revenue is attributable to the May 2006 acquisition of Sterling Systems & Consulting, Inc., the Company showed strong organic growth in these revenue categories.
Chief Executive Officer Scotty Walsh commented, "Our business followed its normal seasonal trends in fiscal 2007, with the first quarter being a slower period in terms of revenues and earnings than the Company's second and third fiscal quarters. We are pleased with the contributions of the Sterling business, which met our internal goals for the period, and by the marked increase in Service revenue, which rose to $2.6 million, the highest revenue level the Services business has ever realized. These accomplishments support our goal of transitioning Avatech to a more diversified services and solutions provider.
"Over the past year, we have gradually been shaping and building Avatech's sales and technical staff as part of our strategy to create four distinct industry-focused business units - Building Solutions, Infrastructure and Civil Engineering Solutions, Manufacturing Solutions, and Facilities Management Solutions - that can serve their customers with increased breadth and depth of knowledge. The cost of hiring these additional personnel is reflected in our higher SG&A, which negatively impacted the company's profitability for the first quarter. Demand in our markets continues to be strong, particularly in the 3D design arena, and we are making every effort to bring our new staff to full productivity as quickly as possible.
"We believe Avatech is off to a good start on achieving our full-year revenue target of $55 to $60 million, excluding additional acquisitions, and we remain focused on improving our operating margins by expanding and diversifying our range of products, taking full advantage of cross-selling opportunities, growing our geographic footprint, and increasing our service-oriented business."

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. & PALMETTO, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Fiscal 2006 Financial Highlights
-- Record revenue increase of 32.2% to $15.2 million

-- Net Income of $237,000, or $0.01 per diluted share

-- Working capital of $1.3 million with no long-term debt
Jupiter Marine International Holdings, Inc. (OTCBB: JMIH), a leading manufacturer of high quality, semi-custom center console boats under the Jupiter(TM) brand name, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and twelve months-ended July 29, 2006 (see attached tables).
Carl Herndon, President of Jupiter Marine, stated, "We are very pleased with our results and the progress our Company made in fiscal 2006, despite a highly competitive market and difficult economic environment. While Jupiter's largely affluent customer base has somewhat mitigated the impact of interest rate increases and higher gas prices, these economic factors are affecting the way many of our potential customers choose to allocate their budget on recreational items. We continue to ensure that our products meet the evolving customer demand while aligning our operations with the current economic market environment. We plan to continue growing the business by differentiating our existing product line through the addition of new features and innovative designs, while also introducing new models. This is evidenced by the launch in February 2006 of the Jupiter 29', which addresses another segment of the fishing and cruising boat market while also offering an alternative to our 31' and 38' models in both price and features."
Mr. Herndon continued, "We also achieved one of our most important long-term objectives in March 2006 with the commencement of production at our new manufacturing facility in Palmetto, FL. By adding this facility to our existing operations in Fort Lauderdale, Jupiter is increasing its production capacity and enabling the Company to accommodate higher volume going forward. The Company's expansion into Palmetto over time will allow us to build in excess of an additional 100 boats per year."
Fiscal 2006 Financial Results
Net sales for fiscal 2006 increased 32.2% to $15.2 million from $11.5 million last year. This is largely due to Jupiter selling a higher number of boats, 92, in fiscal 2006, versus 88 in fiscal 2005. In addition, incremental sales of the Jupiter 38' Forward Seating model, introduced in February 2005, contributed to a higher selling price per boat.
Gross profit margin was 24.4% in fiscal 2006, remaining steady from the 25.0% reported in fiscal 2005. The Company continues to closely monitor the effects of increases in the cost of a number of raw materials used in its manufacturing process. Jupiter has partially offset these factors through price increases, seeking out less expensive alternative materials and raw material sources without sacrificing quality, improving manufacturing efficiencies, and better utilizing its overhead.
Jupiter's selling and marketing expenses for fiscal 2006 were $512,000, or 3.4% of sales, versus $486,000, or 4.2% of sales in fiscal 2005. General and administrative (G&A) expenses were $1.9 million, or 12.4% of sales, for fiscal 2006, versus $1.4 million, or 12.4% of sales, reported in the prior year. Fiscal 2006 G&A expenses included the adoption of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (SFAS No. 123R), share-based payment method. As a result of adopting this accounting pronouncement, the Company recorded $119,000 of compensation costs from employee stock options that vested during the year.
In fiscal 2006, the Company incurred approximately $475,000 in costs related to the start up of its Palmetto facility prior to commencing production, compared to no such expense in fiscal 2005. The Company expects that operating expenses at Palmetto going forward should be offset through higher sales as it achieves its production goals. Largely as a result of these start-up costs, Jupiter Marine reported net income applicable to common shareholders in the fiscal 2006 of $237,000, or $.01 per diluted share on approximately 18.1 million diluted shares outstanding, versus net income of $386,000, or $.02 per diluted share on approximately 16.2 million diluted shares outstanding, in fiscal 2005.
Fiscal 2006 Fourth Quarter Financial Results
Net sales for the fiscal 2006 fourth quarter increased 44.1% to $4.5 million from $3.1 million in the same period last year, largely due to sales generated through the new Palmetto facility. Gross profit was $1.2 million in the fiscal fourth quarter of 2006, versus $695,000 in the prior year period. The Company incurred slightly lower professional, legal and marketing expenses in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006. Additionally, year-over-year comparisons were affected by the Company recorded a non-recurring $99,000 provision for loss on disposition of assets in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005, compared to no such expense in the fiscal 2006 fourth quarter. As a result of these factors, Jupiter reported net income of $81,000, or less than $.01 per diluted share on approximately 18.1 million diluted shares outstanding for the fiscal 2006 fourth quarter, versus a net loss of $82,000, or less than $.01 per diluted share on approximately 16.2 million diluted shares outstanding, in the same period last year.
Financial Position
Jupiter Marine's balance sheet at July 29, 2006 is highlighted by a current ratio of 1.6:1, working capital of $1.3 million and a debt-to-equity ratio of 0.96.
Jupiter Displaying Its Boats at Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show(R)
The Company also announced that it is currently exhibiting a number of its models at the 47th Annual Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, which will run until October 30th. The show displays more than 1.6 billion dollars worth of boats, yachts, superyachts, electronics, engines and thousands of accessories from every major marine manufacturer and builder worldwide.

CELEBRATION, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
IBSG International, Inc. (OTC BB: IBIN) a holding company for four technology and software subsidiaries, announced today its financial results for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2006.
Revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2006 increased to just under $2.8 million compared to revenues same three-month period ended September 2005 of $1.4 million, an increase of 103%. Most of the increase came from expansion of international business of $3.8 million, of which $2.47 million was recognized in this quarter. Gross profit in the third quarter 2006 reached $2.7 million, up from $1.3 million in the same period 2005.
Third quarter 2006 operating expenses totaled $1.8 million compared to $856,000 in operating expenses third quarter 2005. The increase largely results from additional consulting services of $592,500 due to the international contracts obtained and $264,000 of stock compensation granted to the board of directors. Other third quarter expenses totaled $468,000 for a tax provision accrual, compared to other expenses of $388,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2005.
Net income for the third quarter 2006 was $485,000, up sharply from $16,000 generated in third quarter 2005. With weighted average number of shares of 6,865,880 basic and diluted shares outstanding, earnings per share this quarter was $0.07. Third quarter 2005, with 4,947,730 diluted shares outstanding, earnings per share came in at $0.00 -- figure for shares outstanding is restated to reflect the reverse split that became effective in third quarter 2006.
Dr. Michael Rivers, CEO of IBSG stated, "IBSG International has shown great progress in the third quarter and subsequently, growing the business both in the US and abroad. In America, we have expanded our network of Small Business Development Centers to include such states as Mississippi and Alabama and recently added Kentucky and the US territory of Guam. Investors should expect to continue to see high or even rising revenues even with an increase in cash collections. Our customers are larger then the same time last year with the addition of foreign governments to our customer base of US states. As a result, the year one license fees are higher. Cash collections of revenue are increasing but as more small- to mid-size enterprises (SMEs) are added to the system by state of foreign governments, monthly subscriptions will increase and become part of the cash collections which are not part of revenues generally and therefore will not reduce revenues. Revenues are primarily comprised of license revenues. This is the challenge of understanding our model however, because our approach is scalable, flexible and practical, although management cannot make any assurances, we believe every state and territory in the nation as well as a large number of international governments could benefit from using our BizWorldPro(C) services.
"Moreover, we have established ourselves internationally, most recently in cooperation with the World Bank. BizWorldPro will function as the transactional platform for the support of Small- and Mid-size Enterprises (SMEs) and create an investment management platform for investors worldwide -- the Health Business World (HBW) Gateway. We are in the process of populating the platform with health care providers from Nigeria, South Africa and Kenya, and by year-end, the HBW gateway will be able to locate health care providers in most of the 47 African nations for investment opportunities. This represents a major step forward in attracting capital to these SME Health Care providers."
For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, revenues were slightly above $7.5 million compared to the result for nine months ended September 30, 2005 of $3.8 million. The Company had deferred revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 of $2.1 million
Operating expenses rose to $3.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 from $2.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. Other expenses rose to $1.7 million in the first nine months of 2006 from $240,000 in the same period 2005.
The other expenses for the nine months ending 2006 were $1.7 million compared to $240,000 for 2005. The 2005 figures were restated to reflect the change in fair value of the embedded conventional options and in the fair value of the warrants. The increase of other expenses for 2006 was due to the settlement of the debt and warrants outstanding, and a provision for taxes. The losses associated with the settlement of the debt and warrants were $471,000. The Company has allocated $1.1 million for proposed taxes. The Company accrued $12,000 of taxes for the first quarter, an additional $678,000 for the second quarter and $469,000 for the third quarter.
Net income reported for the nine months ending September 30, 2006 was $1.7 million, almost three times the $598,000 net income for the first nine months of 2005.

United Internet

Das zweitgrößte deutsche Internetunternehmen United Internet hat im dritten Quartal dieses Jahres auf ganzer Linie überzeugt. Es steigerte im Berichtszeitraum Umsatz, Ergebnis und die Zahl der Kunden deutlich und übertraf dabei sogar die Erwartungen der Analysten.

Das Vorsteuerergebnis verdoppelte sich von Juli bis Oktober dieses Jahres auf 55,3 Millionen Euro, wie das im Börsenindex TecDAX notierte Unternehmen aus Montabaur am Freitag mitteilte. Analysten hatten im Schnitt nur mit rund 50 Millionen Euro gerechnet. Der Umsatz stieg im gleichen Zeitraum um 52 Prozent auf 316,9 Millionen Euro und übertraf damit ebenfalls die Vorabschätzungen der von der Nachrichtenagentur Dow Jones Newswires befragten Experten.

In den ersten neun Monaten fiel das Umsatzwachstum mit 68 Prozent auf 914 Millionen Euro noch stärker aus. Das Vorsteuerergebnis lag mit 146,9 Millionen Euro rund 100 Prozent über dem Vorjahresvergleichswert. Der Vorstandsvorsitzende Ralph Dommermuth sprach aus Sicht der ersten neun Monate vom "besten Ergebnis in der Unternehmensgeschichte".

Dazu beigetragen hat auch das Kundenwachstum. Die Zahl der kostenpflichtigen Kundenverträge verbesserte sich zum 30. September deutlich auf 6,13 Millionen. Vor einem Jahr waren es 4,21 Millionen. Rund zwei Millionen DSL-Kunden zählte das Unternehmens, das daneben unter anderem Server-Dienstleistungen, Telefonieprodukte sowie andere kostenpflichtige Web-Dienste anbietet, zum 30. September dieses Jahres. Hinter T-Online ist United Internet damit die Nummer zwei auf dem deutschen Markt für diesen schnellen Online-Zugang.

Im dritten Quartal sind dem Unternehmen zufolge per saldo 130 000 Kunden hinzugekommen. Damit wurden die Zuwächse der ersten beiden Quartale von jeweils 100 000 Neuzugängen übertroffen. Für die letzten drei Monate des Jahres rechnet das Unternehmen zudem mit weiteren 200 000 neuen Breitbandkunden.

Dommermuth zeigte sich deshalb zuversichtlich für das restliche Geschäftsjahr. Im Gesamtjahr rechnet er unverändert mit einem Umsatz von 1,26 Milliarden Euro und damit mit einem Wachstum von rund 60 Prozent gegenüber 2005. Das Vorsteuerergebnis soll wie geplant um knapp 80 Prozent über dem des Vorjahres bei rund 180 Millionen Euro liegen.

Am Aktienmarkt kam der Zwischenbericht sowohl auf Analysten- als auch auf Anlegerseite gut an. Die WestLB bestätigte ihre Kaufempfehlung für die United-Internet-Aktie. Auch die Analysten der HypoVereinsbank bekräftigten ihre "Outperform"-Einstufung. Das Kursziel sehen sie unverändert bei 15 Euro. Am Mittag notierten die Titel an der Frankfurter Börse mit rund 3,7 Prozent im Plus bei 12,65 Euro.

CEO Kevin Cassidy commented, 'It is clear from the recent news headlines that there is increased interest in derivatives trading. And we feel that the best is yet to come for Optionable. Our record results for the third quarter have primarily been achieved through traditional means of service of delivery, voice-brokerage and open outcry. Our electronic platform, OPEX, which we recently introduced, will gain adherents in the energy commodities markets and, ultimately, with other commodities markets. The latest addition to our services offering, OPEX Analytics, enables us to offer a broader variety of solutions to satisfy our clients' needs. We certainly would not be where we are without providing consistent, timely, and outstanding quality services to our clients.'

For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, Optionable reported that revenues increased to $9.2 million from $4.1 million for the first nine months of last year. Net income for the 2006 first nine months increased to $3.7 million compared to $996,795 for the prior year period.

Tix Corporation Enters Into Non-Binding Letter Agreement to Acquire Exhibit Merchandising LLC
STUDIO CITY, Calif., Dec. 12, 2006 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Tix Corporation (OTCBB:TIXC) (the "Company") has signed a non-binding Letter Agreement outlining the terms and conditions and general process to acquire Exhibit Merchandising LLC, whose principal members are Joe Marsh and Lee Marshall, both of whom are current shareholders of the Company. In addition, Mr. Marsh has been providing consulting services to the Company since July 2006.

The Letter Agreement provides that the Company will pay the greater of a six-times calendar 2008 EBITDA or $4 million, resulting in an initial purchase price of $24 million, payable $10 million in cash and $14 million in shares of restricted common stock at a fixed price of $4.00 per share. Additional consideration based on calendar 2008 EBITDA will be paid in the form of shares of the Company's restricted common stock valued at the thirty-day closing bid price prior to December 31, 2008, but in no event less than $4.00 per share. Based on the current and expected future operations of Exhibit Merchandising LLC, such additional consideration could be substantial. Management of the Company will retain voting rights with respect to shares of common stock issued to acquire Exhibit Merchandising LLC.

The Letter Agreement provides for a thirty-day exclusive negotiation period and a subsequent ninety-day due diligence period for the Company to conduct a financial and operational review of Exhibit Merchandising LLC, to draft definitive transaction documents, and to obtain financing for the transaction. The Company intends to raise the funds required to close this transaction through a private placement of its equity securities.

The Letter Agreement is subject to, among other conditions, satisfactory completion of due diligence, obtaining $10 million of new financing, negotiation, preparation and execution of definitive transaction and financing documents, preparation of consolidated financial statements, compliance with state and federal securities laws and regulations, and receipt of the requisite corporate approvals. The transaction is expected to close during the second quarter of 2007. However, as a result of the foregoing uncertainties, there can be no assurances that the transaction will be completed. Furthermore, even if the transaction is completed, there can be no assurances that the future operations of the acquired business will be successful.

Mitch Francis, CEO of Tix Corporation, commented, "We are delighted by the prospect of acquiring a growing business such as Exhibit Merchandising LLC." He continued, "We believe that there exists a synergistic fit with our core business of half-price ticket sales for Las Vegas shows and concerts, as well as with our dinner and golf reservation businesses, through leveraging our existing relationships with these vendors to offer branded merchandise to them. We are hopeful that this acquisition will become a material contributor to the Company's operations and cash flows for years to come."

Hudson Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq:HDSN), a leading refrigerant services company specializing in proprietary on-site decontamination services for large comfort and process cooling systems, today announced results for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2006.

Revenues for the third quarter of 2006 were $4,971,000, an increase of $453,000 or 10% from the $4,518,000 reported during the comparable 2005 period. Net income for the third quarter was $674,000, or $0.03 per share, basic, which includes a $58,000 non-cash charge for share-based compensation due to the adoption of SFAS 123r as of January 1, 2006. This compares to net income of $528,000 for the third quarter of 2005, or $0.02 per share, basic.

Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 were $20,680,000, an increase of $4,358,000 or 27% from the $16,322,000 reported during the comparable 2005 period. For the first nine months of 2006, the Company reported net income of $2,218,000, or $0.09 per share, basic, which includes a $208,000 non-cash charge for share-based compensation due to the adoption of SFAS 123r as of January 1, 2006. This compares to net income of $2,421,000 for the first nine months of 2005, or $0.09 per share, basic.

Comments by Kevin J. Zugibe, chairman and chief executive officer, Hudson Technologies:

"We are pleased to report yet another strong financial quarter, marking the twelfth time in the past thirteen quarters that we improved over our prior year's results. During the third quarter of 2006, total revenues increased by 10%, service revenues increased by 60% and net income increased by nearly 28%, as compared to the third quarter of 2005. In fact, service revenues in the third quarter of 2006 increased $527,000 as compared to the third quarter of 2005, due to increases in both the size and number of service jobs performed. For the first nine months of 2006, service revenues increased by more than $1 million over last year's strong results for the comparable period. We remain profitable and are well positioned to experience future growth.

"Hudson continues to gain momentum with key milestone accomplishments. During the first nine months of 2006, we have completed nine Steam Energy Savings Assessments at large industrial plants as part of the U.S. Department of Energy's Save Energy Now Campaign, and expect to be assigned additional assessments in 2007. While the revenues from these assessments have not been material to total service revenues, these assessments have led to the introduction to key corporate personnel at certain of these industrial facilities who have demonstrated interest in the predictive and preventative maintenance services that we offer for their refrigeration systems. Furthermore, the company is looking to add resources in the coming months to help fuel continued sales growth.

"These milestones, and the consistent increases in sales and income, demonstrate our commitment to further develop and grow our customer base and are aligned with our vision to be the leader in moving the industry from reactive maintenance to predictive and preventative maintenance."

YP Corp. (OTCBB: YPNT), a leading provider of nationwide Internet Yellow Pages and related services, today announced that revenue for the twelve months ended September 30, 2006 was $36.9 million vs. $25.0 million in fiscal 2005, an increase of 47%. The increase in revenue was primarily due to increased customer count and expansion of the fulfillment segment of our marketing program.

On a non-GAAP basis, Fiscal 2006 net income, before one-time items and the adjustment for a change in accounting principle, was approximately $3.3 million, or $0.07 per share vs. a net loss of $618,000 million, or $0.02 per share, for fiscal 2005. On a GAAP basis, after extraordinary items and one-time charges, we incurred a net loss of approximately $1 million for the twelve months ended September 30, 2006.

"The company continues to market in all fifty states using telemarketing and direct mail across the U.S. to the 17 million small to medium size businesses for whom the Internet is becoming a critical way to attract new customers," said Daniel L. Coury, Sr., CEO. "We have spent the year making the company a formidable national Yellow Pages company providing high value-added services for our customers."

Outlook and Guidance

"We look forward to a profitable 2007 with many new initiatives that will grow revenues and earnings during the next fiscal year," stated Coury. "For Fiscal 2007, the changes in accounting principles that we have adopted relative to our customer acquisition costs should make it easier for investors to understand the inherent profitability of our business model."

The company expects fiscal 2007 revenues to range from $45 million to $49 million, operating income to range from $11 million to $12 million, and net income to range from $6.0 million to $7.0 million.

This guidance represents substantial improvements in all measures from fiscal 2006. "In 2006, the company continued to improve all operating metrics," stated Coury. "We continue to streamline operations, improve our marketing profitability and find less expensive ways to acquire customers."

TRANSCEND SERVICES, INC. (Nasdaq Market: TRCR) today announced its results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2006.

Three Months Ended December 31, 2006

Revenue for the fourth quarter of 2006 was $8,954,000, an increase of $1,650,000, or 23%, over fourth quarter 2005 revenue of $7,304,000. Earnings per share was $0.10 in the fourth quarter of 2006 compared to a loss of $0.06 in the fourth quarter of 2005.

The $1,650,000 increase in revenue consisted of transcription revenue from new customers of $1,298,000, approximately $802,000 of which was generated by four customers that were implemented in stages during the late third and fourth quarters of 2006, a $364,000 increase in revenue from customers existing as of the beginning of 2006 and a decrease in other revenue of $12,000.

Gross profit increased to 27% of revenue in the fourth quarter of 2006 from 19% in the fourth quarter of 2005. The improvement is attributable to (1) rollout of the Company's speech recognition-enabled BeyondTXT platform, (2) growth of relatively fixed indirect cost of operations expenses at a slower rate than the rate of revenue growth and (3) use of offshore transcription resources.

Sue McGrogan, Senior Vice President of Operations, stated, "We are extremely pleased with our fourth quarter results. Our two primary gross profit improvement initiatives - the speech recognition rollout and utilization of offshore partners - showed strong results during the fourth quarter. Roughly 20% of the Company's total volume is now edited using speech recognition technology in our BeyondTXT platform. The rate of increase accelerated late in the fourth quarter as we overcame implementation barriers and enabled significant numbers of new dictators for editing. Offshore transcription volume, which was almost non-existent until the third quarter of 2006, now represents approximately 7% of total Company volume. We expect both editing and offshore volume to increase steadily during 2007."

Other operating expenses, consisting of selling, research and development, general and administrative, depreciation and amortization expenses, decreased by $95,000 to $1,537,000, or 17% of revenue, in the fourth quarter of 2006 compared to $1,632,000, or 22% of revenue, in the fourth quarter of 2005. The decrease is primarily attributable to the Company's cost saving initiatives implemented in the fourth quarter of 2005, reduced depreciation expense and ongoing control of expenses as the Company grows.

Net income for the fourth quarter of 2006 was $762,000 or $0.10 per share compared to a loss of $444,000 or $0.06 per share in the fourth quarter of 2005.
