PhotoStamps
 
During the second quarter, approximately 291 thousand sheets were shipped to customers. Since the beginning of the second market test in May 2005, approximately 2.0 million sheets, or more than 40 million individual PhotoStamps, have been shipped to customers. Total second quarter PhotoStamps revenue was $4.6 million, an increase of 24% versus revenue of $3.7 million in the second quarter of 2006. Estimated total sales and marketing expenses directly related to PhotoStamps exceeded PhotoStamps gross profits for the second quarter.
 

 
Net Operating Loss Shareholder Notice
 
As part of our ongoing program to preserve future use of our NOL assets, Stamps.com requests that all investors contact the Company prior to allowing their ownership interest to reach a five-percent level. Under Internal Revenue Code Section 382 rules, a change in ownership can occur whenever there is a shift in ownership by more than 50 percentage points by one or more five-percent shareholders within a three-year period. When a change of ownership is triggered, the Company’s net operating losses (NOL) asset may be impaired. We estimate that as of June 30, 2007 the Company was at approximately 30% compared with the 50% level that would trigger impairment of our NOL asset.
 
Business Outlook
 
Following the second quarter outcome for the business, Stamps.com currently expects total fiscal 2007 revenue to be $85 to $95 million. Stamps.com expects to make a large investment in PC Postage marketing this year at a level that is higher than prior expectations. Based on this, and based on first half results and trends, the Company now expects fiscal 2007 GAAP net income per share to be $0.48 to $0.58, including approximately $2.7 million of stock-based compensation expense related to the Company’s adoption of FASB Statement 123R that began in fiscal 2006. Excluding the FASB Statement 123R expenses, non-GAAP fiscal 2007 net income per fully diluted share is expected to be $0.60 to $0.70.
 
Resignation of Chief Accounting Officer
 
Stamps.com today announced that Jamie Harper, vice president of finance and chief accounting officer, has decided to leave the Company to become chief financial officer of an early stage company. Mr. Harper's departure is not related to any disagreement with senior management or with Stamps.com's accounting or operating policies. Chief Financial Officer Kyle Huebner will assume Mr. Harper’s duties, and Mr. Harper will continue with the Company through August 8, 2007 to ensure an orderly transition of his responsibilities.

Non-GAAP Measures
 
To supplement the Company’s condensed financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, Stamps.com uses non-GAAP measures of certain components of financial performance. These non-GAAP measures include non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP earnings per diluted share, and non-GAAP gross margin. These non-GAAP measures are provided to enhance investors’ overall understanding of the Company’s current financial performance and the Company’s prospects for the future and provide further information about the impact of the adoption of the new accounting standard FAS 123R. The Company believes the non-GAAP measures that exclude stock-based compensation enhance the comparability of results against prior periods. These measures should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, but should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP results. Reconciliation to the nearest GAAP measure of all non-GAAP measures included in this press release can be found in the financial tables included on page 2 of this press release.
