“We are pleased with our performance in the second quarter of 2008, and we
are particularly gratified with the significant reductions in operating
expenses at each of our business units, as well as at the corporate level,
resulting in a 67% reduction in net loss in the quarter. We continue to see
the positive effects of our emphasis on cost controls while at the same
time focusing on sales of higher margin products and services. We are
especially satisfied with the significant revenue increase in the quarter
at our TBS business unit, which showed a 23% sales increase over the prior
year period,” said Mason Conner, President and Chief Executive Officer of
VillageEDOCS, Inc.
“Our recent acquisition of Questys Solutions is in keeping with our
strategy of continuing to acquire intellectual and technology assets that
will enhance, broaden and improve our product offerings. This strategic
acquisition, which increases our client roster to more than 1,400, provides
a critical document management component and cohesiveness to our suite of
outsourced business solutions, which will accelerate our growth and enable
us to significantly expand sales opportunities within each of our operating
business units, as well as attract new business,” Mr. Conner added.
For the second quarter ended June 30, 2008, VillageEDOCS had consolidated
net revenue of $3,414,808 a 2% increase over net revenue for the prior year
quarter of $3,335,435. Net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2008,
decreased 67% to $156,665, or $0.00 per share, compared with a net loss of
$477,075, or $0.00 per share, for the three months ended June 30, 2007, on
weighted average shares of 152,770,913 and 149,309,709, respectively.
Consolidated operating expenses during the 2008 period were 62% of sales
compared to 76% of sales in the 2007 period.
Included in the second quarter 2008 net loss of $156,665 was $237,034 of
loss from non-cash depreciation and amortization charges and non-cash stock
option vesting charges (2007: $464,025). Adjusted Earnings (as defined
below) of $191,533 for the three months ended June 30, 2008, compares with
Adjusted Earnings of $18,012 in the same period a year ago (see
reconciliation that follows).
During the second quarter of 2008, total operating expenses were
$2,111,186, a decrease of $431,977, or 17%, from the prior year quarter.
The overall decrease resulted from decreases at each of the Company’s
operating units plus a 17% reduction in operating expenses of the holding
company. Consolidated operating expenses during the second quarter of 2008
were 62% of sales compared to 76% of sales in the 2007 quarter. Gross
profit margin in the second quarter of 2008 was 59% compared with 63% in
the year ago period.
For the six months ended June 30, 2008, consolidated net revenue was
$6,692,793 compared with consolidated net revenue of $6,593,984 for the
prior year period. Net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2008,
decreased 34% to $651,500, or $0.00 per share, compared with a net loss of
$979,837, or $0.01 per share, for the six months ended June 30, 2007, on
weighted average shares of 152,770,913 and 148,444,518, respectively.
Consolidated operating expenses during the 2008 six month period were
$4,468,838, or 67% of sales, compared with $5,183,242, or 79% of sales, in
the corresponding 2007 six month period. Gross profit margin in the first
six months of 2008 was 58% compared with 63% in the first half of 2007.
Declines in gross margin during the three and six months ended June 30,
2008 are primarily the result of lower sales at our electronic document
delivery service segment resulting from exposure to the financial services
market as well as increases in sales of lower margin, third party products
in the government accounting solutions segment. To address this change,
management has directed additional resources to promote increased sales of
our proprietary service offerings, which traditionally have been more
profitable for us.

Non-GAAP Financial Measure: Adjusted Earnings
We believe “Adjusted Earnings,” which is a non-GAAP financial measure,
provides useful information to investors and management by excluding
certain income, expenses, and gains and losses that may not be indicative
of our core operating and financial results. We believe that “Adjusted
Earnings” is a useful performance measure because certain items included in
the calculation of net income (loss) may either mask or exaggerate trends
in our ongoing operating performance. We expect to use “Adjusted Earnings”
on an ongoing basis to track and assess our financial performance. You,
however, should not consider “Adjusted Earnings” in isolation or as a
substitute for net income (loss) or any other measure for determining our
operating performance that is calculated in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP,”
“GAAP”). “Adjusted Earnings” is not necessarily comparable to similarly
titled measures employed by other companies. We expect future Adjusted
Earnings to vary significantly from anticipated future net income (loss)
because depreciation, amortization, interest, tax, equity compensation, and
stock option vesting expenses during 2008 and 2009 are expected to be at
least as material as they were during 2007.
