InPlay Technologies Reports Third Quarter 2008 Financial Results


SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Nov. 13, 2008 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- InPlay Technologies (Nasdaq:NPLA) today announced financial results for the three months ended September 30, 2008.

Revenue for the third quarter 2008 was $617,000, down from $1.2 million in the comparable period during 2007. For the three month period in 2008, revenue included $292,000 from the FinePoint segment and $325,000 from the Duraswitch segment.

InPlay reported a net loss for the quarter of $1.3 million, or $0.11 per share, compared to a net loss of $1.1 million or $0.09 per share for the third quarter of 2007.

"Subsequent to the end of the quarter, we sold the assets related to the Duraswitch segment. This sale brings in cash and focuses our efforts on what we believe to be a significant opportunity with our FinePoint technology," said Steve Hanson, chairman and CEO.

FinePoint revenue during the quarter included orders for additional pens and digitizers for a program that was discontinued last year, and non-recurring engineering fees for development of new products.

"We have put significant resources toward new customer designs, as well as further development of our patented digital pen and touch technology. We believe that these investments enable us to successfully achieve positive milestones in the short term, and position the company for long term growth," Hanson added.
