     iLinc Communications Closes $4.25 Million Private Placement Offering;
                     Company Raises New Capital for Growth

    PHOENIX--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 20, 2004--iLinc Communications,
Inc. (AMEX:ILC), developers of feature-rich, secure and scalable Web
conferencing software, announced that it has completed a private
placement of 85 units, comprised of senior notes and common stock, for
an aggregate purchase price of $4.25 million. The net proceeds from
the private placement of the units will be used for acquisitions,
increased marketing and sales efforts and general working capital
purposes to further the Company's objective of gaining significant
market share of the Web conferencing space.
    The Company sold a total of 85 units, with each unit costing
$50,000 and entitling the purchaser to a senior note with a principal
balance of $37,500, and $12,500 of the Company's common stock,
representing 19,230 shares. The Company therefore issued $3,187,500 in
senior notes and 1,634,550 shares of the Company's common stock. The
senior notes will be issued as a series of notes pursuant to a unit
purchase and agency agreement. The senior notes are non-convertible,
and the purchasers receive no warrants. The placement agent received a
commission equal to 10% of the gross proceeds together with a warrant
for the purchase of 163,455 shares of the Company's common stock at a
price equal to 120% of the price paid by investors. The senior notes
bear interest at a rate of 10% per annum and accrued interest is due
and payable on a quarterly basis beginning July 15, 2004, with
principal due at maturity on July 15, 2007. The senior notes are
redeemable by the Company at 100% of the principal value at any time
after July 15, 2005. The senior notes are unsecured obligations of the
Company but are senior in right of payment to all existing and future
indebtedness of the Company.
    The securities offered by the Company to accredited investors in
the private placement were sold in reliance on an exemption from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the "Securities Act"). The securities have not been registered under
the Securities Act or any state securities laws, and the securities
may not be offered or sold absent registration or an applicable
exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and
applicable state securities laws. This press release does not and will
not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy
shares and is being issued under Rule 135c under the Securities Act.
