InPlay Technologies Reports Financial Results for Second Quarter 2007


PHOENIX, Aug. 13, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- InPlay Technologies (Nasdaq:NPLA) today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2007.

Total revenue for the second quarter of 2007 was $645,000, down from $2.55 million for the second quarter of 2006. Second quarter 2007 revenue includes $404,000 in revenue from FinePoint and $241,000 from Duraswitch. InPlay reported a net loss for the second quarter of $1.65 million, or $0.14 per share as compared to a net loss of $684,000, or $0.06 per share, for the first quarter of 2006.

Consolidated gross margin was 33 percent for the quarter, including 32 percent for the FinePoint segment and 35 percent for the Duraswitch segment.

Commenting on the quarter, Steve Hanson, InPlay chairman and CEO said, "Our revenue is down as our largest customer winds down production of our pen and digitizer technology for its older convertible notebook line. We remain confident in our ability to win new customers and grow this business. Until that happens, however, we are very mindful of our cash position."

"In addition, our net loss for the quarter was impacted by two charges," continued Hanson. "First, we accrued approximately $800,000 for severance related to changes in management of the company. Second, Duraswitch cost of goods sold includes a $90,000 one-time expense for tooling, impacting margin and gross profit for this side of our business."

"Our biggest asset is our differentiating technology. Over the last several months we have made significant advances in technology development. Now we need to focus on execution, winning new business and being smart about allocating our resources. We are operating with a sense of urgency. I believe in the opportunity and am focused on doing everything possible to create a profitable, growing business," Hanson concluded.
