"We are very pleased to report the highest quarterly revenues and second highest quarterly earnings in the history of 8x8," said 8x8 Chairman & CEO Bryan R. Martin. "This was a great quarter for 8x8 and our Packet8 communications services as we surpassed a significant Virtual Office milestone and extended our leadership in the hosted business VoIP market. As businesses seek ways to reduce operating expenses, especially in the midst of uncertain economic conditions, we continue to see strong interest and demand for our cost-effective, feature-rich Packet8 Virtual Office services."

During the quarter, 8x8 sold two of its legacy, non-core patents to a third party for $1.2M, and accounted for the sale and payment as Other Income. The Company will retain a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use the technology covered by these patents for all of its current and future products.

Mr. Martin continued, "We are also pleased to report a significant success in our ongoing efforts to monetize the Company's significant portfolio of patents and other intellectual property. We believe that this transaction validates and establishes a baseline value of our portfolio in the marketplace, and we intend to continue efforts towards monetizing our intellectual property via licensing, covenant-not-to-sue agreements and other business arrangements and transactions in the future."

Mr. Martin concluded, "8x8 is well positioned in the VoIP industry going forward with a strengthened balance sheet, zero debt, a strong intellectual property portfolio, a new mobile offering and the most widely adopted hosted iPBX phone service in the small business market. We are looking forward to continuing these trends in 2008 and beyond."

8x8 will host a conference call today at 4:30 p.m. ET to discuss its third fiscal quarter results. The event and replays of the call can be accessed from the events page of 8x8's corporate website at http://www.8x8.com.
