President and CEO iLinc Communications, Inc. 602-952-1200 ILINC ANNOUNCES PRELIMINARY UNAUDITED FISCAL YEAR 2007 AND FOURTH QUARTER RESULTS PHOENIX, Arizona (May 3, 2007) - iLinc Communications, Inc. (AMEX:ILC), a leading developer of Web conferencing software and audio conferencing solutions, today announced preliminary and unaudited results for its fiscal year and fourth quarter ending March 31, 2007. iLinc will announce its complete audited results in early June as normally scheduled when the audit is complete. On a preliminary basis, for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2007, total revenue is expected to be $14.4 million, a 15% increase, when compared with revenues of $12.5 million for the same twelve-month period last fiscal year. The Company expects to report approximately $200,000 of taxable income for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2007, a 117% increase, when compared to a taxable loss of $1.2 million for the same twelve-month period last fiscal year. The Company also expects to report earnings from operations of approximately $1.9 million for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2007, a 139% increase, when compared to earnings from operations of $783,000 for the same twelve-month period last fiscal year. On a preliminary basis, fourth quarter revenues for the three months ending March 31, 2007 are expected to be $3.7 million, a 3% increase, when compared with revenues of $3.6 million for the same three-month period last fiscal year. The Company expects to report a slight taxable loss for the three months ending March 31, 2007, which would compare to breakeven taxable income for the same three-month period last fiscal year. James M. Powers, Jr., President and Chief Executive Officer of iLinc Communications, commented, "To give a more timely view to our fourth quarter and year-end results, and so that we can discuss these results at three investor conferences in May, we are providing some preliminary unaudited information reflecting our continued top-line and operational improvement. To that end, we are very pleased to report continued improvement in top-line revenue and most importantly, very meaningful growth in revenue from our core Web conferencing product lines. Specifically, our Web conferencing license revenue during the 2007 fiscal year grew by 39% as compared to license revenue during the 2006 fiscal year. Our growth rate in total revenue was a healthy 15% for the 2007 fiscal year which was less than the pure Web conferencing industry average primarily because of the inclusion of slower growth rates experienced by our audio conferencing product lines. Whether looking at the price offered by Cisco for WebEx or the sales trends being generated by iLinc, we remain very confident in our position in this exciting and expanding Web collaboration marketplace. As the leading independent publicly traded Web conferencing company that provides an alternative to Microsoft and WebEx (soon Cisco), we are truly excited about our market position. In fiscal 2008, we expect to see accelerating quarterly growth from our direct sales and channel partners. We look forward to sharing additional details concerning growth trends during our earnings conference call after our audit is complete in early June," concluded Dr. Powers. The Company will be participating in the AeA Micro Capital Conference that is to be held on May 7th and 8th in Monterey, California, with presentations to potential investors. The presentations used by the Company at that conference will be filed using Form 8-K on May 8th. -MORE- Details of a listen-only simulcast and a recording of iLinc Communications' fourth quarter and fiscal year 2007 Web session and conference call will be made available in early June by separate announcement.
