          PHOENIX, Feb. 9 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- iLinc Communications, Inc. (Amex: ILC), developers of one of the most feature-rich and secure Web conferencing and integrated audio conferencing solutions, today announced results for the fiscal 2005 third quarter and nine months ended December 31, 2004.

          For the three months ended December 31, 2004, total revenues increased 63% to $2.6 million as compared with total revenues of $1.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2003.  The Company reported a net loss available to common shareholders of $1.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2004 or $0.05 per basic and diluted share, as compared with a net loss for the three months ended December 31, 2003 of $352,000 or $0.02 per basic and diluted share.

          For the nine months ended December 31, 2004, total revenues increased 69% to $7.3 million as compared with total revenues of $4.3 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2003.  The Company reported a net loss available to common shareholders of $4.5 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2004 or $0.20 per basic and diluted share.  For the nine months ended December 31, 2003, the net loss was $1.2 million or $0.07 per basic and diluted share.

          Commenting on the financial results, James M. Powers, Jr., president and chief executive officer of iLinc Communications, said, “We continue to attract new customers while we increase sales from our existing customer base.  We have taken steps to strengthen our direct sales team and our indirect sales channel with continued investment in sales and marketing.  Further, we see continued sales growth with an ever-growing pipeline of new opportunities that we believe will provide meaningful revenue growth in the coming quarters.”

          John S. (“Jack”) Hodgson, senior vice president and chief financial officer of iLinc Communications, commented, “Total revenues for the quarter over the prior quarter were flat primarily due to a decline in revenue from certain products, like custom content development.  However, Web conferencing sales and audio sales continue to provide a growing customer base into which we can up sell and cross sell our products and services.  We remain confident in our sales model and we believe that we are well positioned to take advantage of the forecasted growth in the Web and audio conferencing markets.”



          Mr. Hodgson added, “We implemented cost containment efforts that resulted in a reduction in loss of approximately $700,000 compared to the prior quarter on flat total revenues.  We continue to invest in sales and marketing activities while we seek cost savings in other areas as we drive toward profitability.”

          In closing, Dr. Powers added, “We are very well positioned to take advantage of the projected growth in the Web conferencing industry.  We take pride in our ability to win Fortune 1000 customers often from larger competitors by exploiting our competitive advantages.  As one of the only feature-rich Web conferencing providers that permit customers to purchase licenses for behind-the-firewall solutions, we are confident in our future prospects.”

          A listen-only simulcast and 30-day replay of iLinc Communications’ fiscal 2005 third quarter conference call will be available online through the Company’s Web site at www.ilinc.com beginning at 11:00 a.m. Eastern time on Wednesday, February 9, 2005.
