GPS Industries Announces Second Quarter 2008 Financial and Operating Results

While the net loss for the second quarter of 2008 of $3,866 (before Deemed preferred stock dividend) increased by $1,801 (87%) over the net loss from the corresponding period in 2007 (as restated), in this quarter GPSI sold and installed 12.5 (18 hole equivalent) Inforemer Systems while simultaneously restructuring its sales force and expanding its product offering to allow it to serve additional markets. These efforts were in addition to the significant task of reducing the ongoing operating while continuing to deliver the most technologically advanced and user-friendly family of products in the industry.

    Q2 2008 Operating and Financial Hi-lights:
    (all amounts in thousands, except per share amounts)

    --  Total revenues increased by 106% to $4,564 in the second quarter as
        compared to the same period in 2007 primarily due to higher average
        selling prices and increased service and support revenue as a result
        of the Uplink acquisition.

    --  Cost of sales increased by 102% to $3,296 over the corresponding
        period in 2007 consistent with the increased revenues.

    --  Gross profit increased 116% to $1,268 vs. $587 in Q2 2007 and improved
        slightly over Q2 2007 as a percent of revenue at 28% vs. 27%.

    --  Total Operating expenses increased by 107% to $4,827 in comparison
        with the corresponding period in 2007.  Included in the 2008 operating
        expenses are several one time charges associated with the
        restructuring and financing activities untaken by the company totaling
        approximately $965.  In addition, 2008 expenses include the operations
        of Uplink and GPSI Europe acquired in January 2008 and October 2007
        respectively and the amortization of the estimated value of the
        Intellectual Property associated with the Uplink acquisition.

    --  Secured new financing totaling $9.0M.  GPSI increased its banking
        facility by $3.5M, guaranteed by GWSE and raised $5.5M of convertible
        debt financing from Tulip Investment Group Ltd.

    --  On June 16, 2008 GPSI hired David Chessler as Chief Executive Officer.

"The results for GPSI prior to my arrival present quite a challenge," stated CEO David Chessler, "However, I am extremely pleased with the progress made to date. With our superior technology, quality personnel, customer support and established infrastructure, GPS Industries has the tools to be successful; we must continue to consolidate our operations, reduce costs and be more efficient in delivering our industry-leading products to the market. I am highly confident we will rise to the challenges leaner, better and much more successful than we have been in the past, and I look forward to building on our initial successes."
