InPlay Technologies Reports Financial Results for Third Quarter 2007


PHOENIX, Nov. 13, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- InPlay Technologies (Nasdaq:NPLA) today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2007.

Total revenue for the third quarter of 2007 was $1.22 million, down from $3.09 million for the third quarter of 2006. Third quarter 2007 revenue includes $1.02 million in revenue from FinePoint and $204,000 from Duraswitch. InPlay reported a net loss for the third quarter of $1.07 million, or $0.09 per share as compared to a net loss of $257,000, or $0.02 per share, for the third quarter of 2006.

Consolidated gross margin was 10 percent for the quarter. FinePoint margin was negatively affected during the quarter due to inventory charges and expenses related to end-of-life of a product line for a major customer. Duraswitch margin was 68 percent, consistent with prior periods.

InPlay chairman and CEO, Steve Hanson, said, "Internally, our company has made significant changes in the last several months. Our new management team has formulated and implemented a strategic plan. We have put the procedures in place that we believe have strengthened our company and position us well to execute on our plan."

"We are augmenting our internal skills through strategic partners," Hanson continued. "We recently announced a partnership with a tier 1 manufacturing partner to support high quality, high volume production of our technology. We have also formed business development and customer support partners in Japan, Asia and India to expand our reach and provide local support in these regions."

"With the foundation that we have put in place, our on-going efforts are aimed at retention and acquisition of customers as well as cash management and profitable growth and sustainability of that growth," Hanson added.
