    Revenue of $3.3 million in the second quarter of 2008 increased 38%

                               year-over-year



    TARRYTOWN, N.Y., Aug. 14 /EMWNews/ -- On2 Technologies,

Inc. (Amex: ONT), a leader in video compression solutions, today announced

financial results for the second quarter of 2008. Revenue in the second

quarter of 2008 was $3.3 million, an increase of 38% from the second

quarter of 2007. On a GAAP basis, net loss was ($7.2) million, or ($0.04)

per share, compared to a net loss of ($3.0) million, or ($0.03) per share,

in the second quarter of 2007. In the second quarter, On2 incurred $1.8

million in non-recurring legal, audit and consultancy expenses related to

an internal investigation and the subsequent restatement of the Company's

previously issued financial statements for the first and second quarters of

2007.



    Matt Frost, Chief Operating Officer and interim Chief Executive Officer

of On2 Technologies said, "While it is not fully reflected in our quarterly

financials, On2 made important progress in the second quarter. We have had

very positive reception to the unique capabilities offered by the

combination of Hantro's and On2's technologies, and our involvement in

exploratory and commercial discussions on innovative applications going

forward is broader than ever. However, with the extended sales lead times

these kinds of developments involve, we continue to see lumpy revenue in

the short-term, as the timing of large deals impacts our quarterly revenue.

Our sales pipeline nevertheless remains at a healthy level. Furthermore, we

are pleased to see that royalty income has remained a significant revenue

contributor."



    Frost continued, "With our planned cost containment initiatives, we

anticipate a more streamlined expense structure going forward that will

nevertheless allow us to continue investing in future growth. We anticipate

that those initiatives should result in approximately $1.2 million in

quarterly savings off of our budgeted expenses -- and a significantly

higher amount off of our recent expenses -- once they have fully taken

effect. This expense management combined with our strong sales pipeline

will help position On2 to progress toward profitability."
