VillageEDOCS Reports Q1 Revenues Up Modestly; Emphasis on Cost Controls Reduces Quarterly Loss and Debt

VillageEDOCS, Inc. (OTCBB: VEDO), a Solution
as a Service company, which is the largest segment of the Software as a
Service (SaaS) market, today announced financial results for the quarter
ended March 31, 2008.
2008 First Quarter Highlights:
-- Consolidated net revenue of $3,277,985 for first quarter of 2008, up
1% from $3,258,549 in comparable quarter; Resolutions business unit was
sold in Dec '07 and is not included in 2007 revenue figure;
-- Total operating expenses decreased 11% versus prior year quarter, with
operating expenses at Corporate level decreasing 25%;
-- Consolidated operating expenses during the 2008 quarter were 72% of
sales versus 81% in Q1 '07;
-- Positive net income achieved at each of the operating units,
particularly GSI unit which saw a 70% increase in net income to $100,148
versus $58,951 for the first three months of 2007;
-- Borrowings on lines of credit during the quarter reduced to $65,000 in
Q1 '08, down from $350,000 in Q1 '07.
"We are pleased with our first quarter results for 2008. Although we sold
our Resolutions business unit in 2007, which resulted in lower consolidated
revenues, we are particularly satisfied with the significant sales increase
of our TBS business unit, which showed a 9% increase over the same period a
year ago," said Mason Conner, President and Chief Executive Officer of
VillageEDOCS, Inc.
"We intend to continue our focus on obtaining stronger internal growth from
sales of higher margin products and services at each of our operating
subsidiaries, as well as by continuing to acquire companies that
consistently generate net income and positive cash flows. We believe that
this strategy offers the best opportunity for our operations to generate
positive operating income and cash flows from operations and to achieve
positive net income for the Company as a whole," Mr. Conner said. "Our
acquisition strategy has two objectives -- to acquire enterprises that
fulfill our identified strategic technological core competencies and to
acquire companies that assist us in penetrating our target market segments
of financial services, healthcare, manufacturing, and local government."
For the first quarter ended March 31, 2008, VillageEDOCS had consolidated
net revenue of $3,277,985 a 1% increase over net revenue for 2007 of
$3,258,549. Revenue increased 9% at TBS due to increases in revenue from
services and printing. These increases were partially offset by decreases
in software sales which resulted in part from the Company's strategy to
promote online, usage-based services rather than single unit product sales.
Revenue increased 1% at GSI due to increases in revenue from user
subscription agreements and professional service fees revenue, which were
offset by decreases in sales to corporate clients. Revenue decreased 11% at
MVI due to a decrease in inbound revenue as a result of mortgage industry
customer attrition and, to a lesser extent, a reduction in supplemental
services revenue.
Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was $494,835, or $0.00
per share, compared to a net loss of $502,762, or $0.00 per share, for the
three months ended March 31, 2007 on weighted average shares of 150,218,437
and 147,409,940, respectively. Consolidated operating expenses during the
2008 quarter were 72% of sales compared to 81% of sales in the 2007
quarter.
Included in the first quarter 2008 net loss was $251,153 of loss from
non-cash depreciation and amortization charges and non-cash stock option
vesting charges (2007: $463,066). Adjusted Earnings (as defined below) of
$7,337 for the three months ended March 31, 2008, compares with Adjusted
Earnings of $(65,354) in the same period a year ago (see reconciliation
that follows).
During the first quarter of 2008, total operating expenses were $2,357,652,
a decrease of $282,427 from the prior year period. The overall decrease
resulted from decreases at each of the Company's operating units plus a 25%
reduction in operating expenses of the holding company. Consolidated
operating expenses during the first quarter of 2008 were 72% of sales
compared to 81% of sales in the 2007 quarter.

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
principals 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.
