TERABEAM ANNOUNCES SECOND QUARTER 2007 FINANCIAL RESULTS
Demonstrates Sequential Revenue Growth, Improved Focus and Cost Reductions
San Jose, CA, August 13, 2007 – Terabeam, Inc. (NASDAQ:TRBM), a leader in core-to-client solutions for broadband municipal wireless networks, today announced its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2007.
Revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 was $19.0 million, an increase of 8% from the revenue of $17.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 and a decrease of approximately 8% from the revenue of $20.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2006.
Gross margins for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 were 44.4%, compared with 44.9% in the quarter ended March 31, 2007 and 41.9% in the quarter ended June 30, 2006.
Including the sale of certain patent assets, the net loss for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 was $339,000, or $0.02 per share, compared to net loss of $3.0 million, or $0.14 per share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 and net loss of $3.0 million, $0.14 per share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2006.
“We are pleased to report that Terabeam demonstrated sequential revenue growth during the second quarter of 2007,” said Robert Fitzgerald, Terabeam’s Chief Executive Officer. “We made great strides during the second quarter and in recent weeks, executing a number of activities that improved our focus, cost structure and balance sheet. We expect these actions will improve our operating results in coming quarters as we remain focused on achieving profitability.”
Cost Structure Outlook
Terabeam expects that, as a result of its improved focus, its efficiency improvement programs and its divestiture of Ricochet, the company will realize approximately $1 million in quarterly cost savings, effective in the third quarter of 2007.

Recent Achievements
Highlights of the company’s recent results include:
· | Quarter-on-quarter revenue growth of 16% in our broadband wireless access products, consisting of Wi-Fi mesh, pre-WiMAX and WiMAX products. |
· | Completion of the sale of two patents for $2.5 million in April. Terabeam has more than 120 additional patents remaining, which may provide future opportunities to monetize the company’s intellectual property. |
· | Completion of a $7.5 million private equity placement in July. Note that this transaction closed after the end of the second quarter, therefore its impact is not reflected in the second quarter 2007 financial statements. |
· | Completion of the sale of Ricochet Networks’ on-going business to Civitas Wireless Solutions and the shut down of the Ricochet San Diego network in July. The divestiture of Ricochet’s ISP operations represents an important milestone as Terabeam can now focus on Proxim’s core-to-client broadband wireless equipment business. As with the private placement, this transaction closed after the end of the second quarter, therefore its impact is not reflected in the second quarter 2007 financial statements. |
· | Restructuring of engineering operations to shift additional research and development activities to Hyderabad, India. |
· | Execution of programs to reduce freight, warehousing and other manufacturing costs. |
