BALTIMORE, MD – February 14, 2008 – Avatech Solutions, Inc. (OTCBB:AVSO.OB), the nationwide technology experts for design, engineering, and facilities management, today announced financial results for its second fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2007.

For the second quarter of fiscal 2008, the Company reported revenues of $12,931,000 compared to $12,412,000 in the prior-year period. The Company reported net income of $855,000, or $0.04 per fully diluted share, compared to net income of $507,000, or $0.02 per fully diluted share, in the same period of the prior year.

For the six months ended December 31, 2007, the Company reported revenues of $25,348,000 compared to $24,457,000 in the prior-year period. Avatech’s net income for the six months ended December 31, 2007 was $1,344,000, or $0.07 per fully diluted share, compared to $543,000, or $0.02 per fully diluted share, for the same period in the prior fiscal year.

President and Chief Executive Officer George Davis commented, “Our company-wide focus on productivity, efficiency and margin improvement continued to produce results in the second quarter. Net income rose 69% over last year’s period, reflecting the combination of a modest increase in revenue and our rigorous cost containment efforts. Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) represented 36.6% of sales in this year’s second quarter compared to 43.3% in the second quarter of fiscal 2007. For the first six months of fiscal 2008, net income rose almost 150%, while SG&A expenses represented 36.9% of sales. We are pleased by this progress and believe we have created a solid foundation for Avatech’s long-term growth and profitability.

“We are also encouraged by the 14% increase in service revenue we generated in the second quarter when compared with the same period last year. Increasingly, customers view Avatech as a committed partner that enables them to inject innovation into their business practices.

“Today’s design world is being driven by new methods, processes, and technologies, and, through Avatech’s unrivalled industry expertise, national footprint, and in-depth experience, we can truly set the standard for value-added services. Over the first six months of our fiscal year we have added over 800 new customers to our base, including major players in all of our key market segments. As previously announced, we secured important projects with industry-leading firms like Barton Malow in our building industry segment and Veristic Technologies in our manufacturing industry segment. These new customer engagements, which will utilize unique Avatech engineering expertise, represent the value add that we offer to the broad design engineering community.

We are particularly pleased with the continuing uptake of the value-added services components of our business, which reflects our deep commitment to improving our customers’ return on investment and productivity.

“Looking forward to the second half of fiscal 2008, we continue to expect to deliver modest revenue growth and be profitable each quarter, although today’s more difficult economy may present additional challenges. In response to those challenges, we will continue to focus on organic and strategic initiatives that will deliver diverse and complimentary solutions to our installed base of over 18,000 customers and open additional market opportunities. Organically, we have identified and are implementing specific value-added services offerings, including training, consulting and implementation, that we expect will continue to drive our services business growth. Strategically, we are investigating potential acquisition targets with an emphasis on diversification and services business growth. We will report on the results of these initiatives in upcoming quarters.”
