Continues Business Integration and Synergistic Revenue Growth
HACKENSACK, N.J., Aug. 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- GoAmerica, Inc.
(NASDAQ:GOAM), a provider of relay and wireless communications and
professional interpreter services for deaf, hard-of-hearing, and
speech- impaired persons, today announced unaudited results for the
quarter ended June 30, 2008 and the filing of its Quarterly Report
on Form 10-Q with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").
Total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2008 was $30.6
million, compared to $4.3 million for the three months ended June
30, 2007, and revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2008 was
$59.7 million, compared to $8.6 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2007. The revenue growth is primarily attributable to the
Company's first quarter purchase of the telecommunications relay
services business of Verizon and its merger with Hands On Video
Relay Services, Inc., as well as organic growth in the Company's
video relay services business. Income from operations for the three
months ended June 30, 2008 was approximately $1.2 million compared
with a loss from operations of $810,000 for the three months ended
June 30, 2007. Income from operations, when adjusting for
approximately $2.0 million of non-cash employee compensation
charges and integration costs related to the acquisitions, was $3.2
million for the three months ended June 30, 2008. Net loss for the
three months ended June 30, 2008 was approximately $201,000
compared with a net loss of $786,000 for the three months ended
June 30, 2007. Net loss available to common stockholders, when
taking into account the $813,000 of accrued preferred stock
dividends, was $1.0 million, or $0.11 per common share, for the
three months ended June 30, 2008 compared with a net loss $786,000,
or $0.36 per common share, for the three months ended June 30,
2007. Income from operations for the six months ended June 30, 2008
was approximately $3.4 million compared with a loss from operations
of $1.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007. Net income
for the six months ended June 30, 2008 was approximately $357,000
compared with a net loss of $1.6 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2007. Cash provided from operations, when adjusting for
the effects of the transactions, was $1.8 million, principally
resulting from income from operations. Capital expenditures for the
six months ended June 30, 2008 were $1.5 million, used primarily to
fund capacity expansion and call center operations. As of June 30,
2008, GoAmerica had approximately $24.4 million in unrestricted
cash and cash equivalents as well as $0.5 million in restricted
cash. Additionally, the Company has $15.0 million of borrowing
capacity under its revolving line of credit. "Today's results
demonstrate our continued emphasis on operational performance while
maintaining our focus on integration activities, building
operational capacity, and delivering a high quality of service to
our customers," said John Ferron, CFO and COO of GoAmerica.
"Strategically, the company is where we wanted to be at this point
in the year," said Dan Luis, CEO of GoAmerica. "Our integration
efforts continue at a rapid pace, our team is coming together, and
we're creating an operational platform that will enable us to
continue to be the preferred communications provider to the
communities we serve." Summary of Recent Activities -- On June 26,

customers. The transactions also expand the availability of
certified, high-quality interpreters and transcriptionists for the
Company's other products and services. -- On July 7, 2008, the

and service offerings, but equally important, they strengthen our
position as the employer of choice, offering interpreters who join
our company greater diversity in the practice of the profession."
