November 6 - Ronn Motor Company Signs Letter of Intent With SCS/Frigette for Manufacturing and Global Distribution of the H2GO™ Real-Time Hydrogen Injection System

Exclusive Manufacturing and Distribution Rights With Frigette, a Global Distributor of Automotive Aftermarket Products to Be Finalized; Sales Estimated at One Million Units for First Three Years

Ronn Motor Company, Inc. (OTC: RNNM) announced that the Company has signed a Letter of Intent with SCS/Frigette, located in Ft. Worth, Texas, for the manufacturing and distribution of its proprietary H2GO™ Real-Time Hydrogen Injection System.

Ronn Maxwell, CEO of Ronn Motor Company, said, "SCS/Frigette is recognized as a leader in the automotive industry and their manufacturing and distribution network is a perfect match for Ronn Motor Company and its H2GO system."

SCS/Frigette is an OE supplier of air conditioning equipment to many vehicle manufacturers and has been recognized as a top tier vendor. Additionally, SCS/Frigette is a supplier of custom air conditioning systems for trucks, vans and recreational vehicles along with cruise controls, power windows, power door locks and security systems.

Frigette ships to nearly 170,000 locations nationwide that use parts either directly or indirectly manufactured by Frigette and distributed through their nine regional distribution centers nationally. This distribution network, developed over more than 40 years, will give the H2GO system access to a national footprint immediately. Additionally, Frigette will give H2GO a global presence with distribution networks already in place in Europe and in the countries of India, China, and Russia.

Phillip Kreymer, Director of Marketing for Frigette, stated, "Sales of one million units over three years is easily within our manufacturing & distribution capabilities, at the suggested retail price of $999.00. This would produce revenues in the one billion dollar range."

Robert B. Kreymer, President of Frigette, commented, "Once again, we are truly ecstatic about working with Ronn and his team. On previous occasions, we have partnered with Ronn Maxwell with a number of his designed, developed and patented products. Over the years we have established a relationship with a proven track record that has consistently provided and demonstrated positive results."

COO of Ronn Motors, Damon Kuhn, added, "SCS/Frigette has several support companies that specialize in metal fabrication, electronics, circuit board supply and vacuum formed plastics that align nicely with our needs for the H2GO system. Their network of nine regional distribution centers and over 5,000 distributors and key installers will enable our fuel saving system to be easily accessed by all consumers."

Ronn Motor Company is finalizing the contract with Frigette for manufacturing, sales and distribution of the H2GO system. Frigette is the largest aftermarket supplier of automotive a/c systems, a/c parts, including many Original Equipment vehicle manufacturers such as General Motors, Ford, Honda, Isuzu, Jaguar, Mazda, Nissan, and Subaru, and has been awarded the coveted "Q1 Supplier Award" by Ford Motor Company and the "First Team Supplier Award" by Nissan Motors of America. They also supply products to thirty-nine (39) OEM Recreational Vehicle manufacturers.

SCS/Frigette quality control standards have been approved by Chrysler Motors, Ford Motor Company, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Isuzu, Jaguar, Mazda, Nissan, Saturn, Subaru, GAZ, VAZ, and Volvo.

Ronn Motor Company has the H2GO system at the SEMA show November 4th - 7th in Las Vegas, installed in its popular Scorpion™ eco-exotic super car. The Scorpion will utilize the H2GO system along with gasoline or ethanol to power the twin turbo V-6 speedster.

Mr. Maxwell continued, "We want to bring this technology to the forefront and believe that offering the H2GO system to the general market will have the most immediate financial impact to our Company, reduce foreign oil imports and help clean up the environment."

All Perf Go Green products are made from recycled plastics and completely break down in landfill within two years, leaving no toxic or visible residue, as compared to other plastics that take hundreds of years.

October 28 - Perf Go Green Adds Leading Supermarket Chain Hy-Vee, Inc. to Distribution Network

Perf Go Green Holdings, Inc. (OTCBB: PGOG) (“Perf Go Green”), a marketer and distributor of biodegradable plastics, announced a distribution agreement with Hy-Vee, Inc. One of the top 30 supermarket chains in the U.S., Hy-Vee operates more than 224 retail stores in the Midwest.

“Our agreement with Hy-Vee is another sign of the overwhelmingly enthusiastic reception retailers are giving our biodegradable plastic bags,” said Perf Go Green Chairman and CEO Tony Tracy. “We're especially excited about this new partnership because Hy-Vee is well-known for its commitment to sustainability and its leadership in bringing health and wellness to mainstream consumers. Perf Go Green's earth-friendly products offer a meaningful way for consumers, companies and their employees to reduce their environmental footprint.”

Perf Go Green will begin shipping its 13-gallon kitchen trash bags and its 30-gallon lawn and leaf bags to Hy-Vee in November 2008.

Founded in 1930, Hy-Vee, Inc. is an employee-owned corporation operating more than 224 retail stores in seven Midwestern states. For 2007 the company recorded total sales of $5.6 billion, ranking it among the top 30 supermarket chains and the top 50 private companies in the U.S.

Founded in November 2007, Perf Go Green premiered at the March 2008 International Home and Housewares Show in Chicago, where its products received an honor for their design quality and innovation. Perf Go Green is proud to be part of the nation's “go green” movement, which is poised to become a $500 billion market by 2009, according to Landor Associates.

Perf Go Green products incorporate recycled plastics that are combined with an Oxo-Biodegradable proprietary application method to produce the film for its bags. Based on environmental claims statements made by the manufacturer of the Oxo-Biodegradable applied to our bags, when discarded in soil and exposed to the presence of microorganisms, moisture and oxygen, we believe Perf Go Green products biodegrade within two years, decomposing into simple materials found in nature much faster than regular plastics, which can take hundreds of years to break down. Through this process and the use of recycled plastics, Perf Go Green effectively removes plastic waste from the environment. In addition, Perf Go Green trash bags utilize a unique patented dispensing system that stores the bags on the bottom of trashcans and dispenses them one at a time, similar to a tissue box.

November 5 - Pomeroy IT Solutions, Inc. Reports Third Quarter 2008 Results

Pomeroy IT Solutions, Inc. (Nasdaq: PMRY) an information technology ("IT") solutions provider with a comprehensive portfolio of hardware, software, technical staffing services, as well as infrastructure and lifecycle services, reported third quarter revenue of $145.2 million and net income of $1.8 million, or $0.15 per fully diluted share.

“We are very pleased to announce our second consecutive quarter of increasing profitability for the year. Our product margin percentages remained solid, but the volume of product sales declined sequentially and year over year due to purchase delays resulting from the challenging economic environment. Our technical staffing and infrastructure services profitability was comparable on sequential basis while generating substantially higher gross profit amounts than in Q3 last year. Our balance sheet remains strong reflecting $18.4 million of cash and equivalents with no outstanding debt, other than our floor plan financing, which positions our company well for opportunities that may materialize in the slowing economy,” said Keith Coogan, CEO and President of Pomeroy IT Solutions.

Third Quarter 2008 versus Third Quarter 2007

Total net revenues increased $815 thousand, or 0.6%, in the third quarter of fiscal 2008 as compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2007. For the third quarters of fiscal 2008 and fiscal 2007, the net revenues were $145.2 million and $144.4 million, respectively.

Product revenue was $87.4 million and $96.5 million, respectively, for the third quarters of fiscal 2008 and fiscal 2007. Product revenue decreased $9.1 million, a decrease of 9.4% in the third quarter of fiscal 2008 as compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2007. This decrease was primarily due to continued delays in product purchases and deployments in several financial services and manufacturing industry accounts as a result of the challenging economic environment.

Service revenue was $57.8 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2008 compared to $47.9 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2007, an increase of $9.9 million or 20.7% from fiscal 2007. The Company groups services revenue into Technical Staffing and Infrastructure Services. Technical Staffing Services support clients’ project requirements, ensures regulatory and customer compliance requirements and fulfills interim and permanent staffing requirements of the staffing projects. Infrastructure Services helps clients optimize the various elements of distributed computing environments. Encompassing the complete IT lifecycle, these services include desktop and mobile computing, server and network environments.

Technical Staffing revenue was $28.3 million and accounted for approximately 49.0% of total service revenues in the third quarter of fiscal 2008, compared to $19.9 million and 41.5% for the third quarter of fiscal 2007. This increase is primarily the result of recognizing revenue for the gross billings on personnel which historically have been recorded as fee based services in our vendor management business, as the Company has shifted from the use of subcontractors to employees.

We experienced a sequential decline of $3.3 million in technical staffing revenue in the third quarter of fiscal 2008 as compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2008 as a result of the announcement made in June 2008 that we elected to not renew a technical staffing services contract with a major customer because the terms they required meant this business would not be profitable for our company. We anticipate a continued decrease in technical staffing revenue in subsequent quarters as a result. We estimate technical staffing revenue will range between $9 million and $11 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2008.

Infrastructure Service revenue was $29.5 million and accounted for approximately 51.0% of total service revenues in the third quarter of fiscal 2008, compared to $28.0 million and 58.5% for the third quarter of fiscal 2007. The increase in revenue is primarily the result of new service engagements started at the beginning of 2008, and incremental project related services during the quarter.

Gross profit was $18.3 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2008, compared to $14.9 million in the third quarter of 2007. Gross profit margin was 12.6% in the third quarter of fiscal 2008, compared to 10.3% in the third quarter of fiscal 2007.

Product gross profit was $8.5 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2008, compared to $9.1 million for the same period of fiscal 2007. The decrease in gross profit was due to decreased sales previously mentioned. Product gross profit margin increased to 9.8% in the third quarter of fiscal 2008, compared to 9.5% for the same period of fiscal 2007. This increase in gross profit margin is due to increased rebates associated with improved tracking of OEM partner promotional initiatives, and targeting more profitable product segments such as networking, server, storage, and peripheral products.

Service gross profit was $9.7 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2008, compared to $5.8 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2007. Service gross profit margin increased to 16.8% in the third quarter of fiscal 2008, compared to 12.1% for the same period of fiscal 2007.

Gross profit from Technical Staffing Services was $3.5 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2008, compared to $2.9 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2007. This increase of $0.6 million is primarily due to increased use of higher-margin Pomeroy employees on staffing projects. Gross profit margin decreased to 12.3% in the third quarter of fiscal 2008 from 14.3% in the third quarter of fiscal 2007. This decrease in gross margin is primarily the result of recognizing revenue at very low incremental margin for billings on subcontractor personnel which historically have been recorded as fee based services in our vendor management business.

Gross profit from Infrastructure Services was $6.2 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2008 compared to $2.9 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2007. Gross profit margin increased to 21.2% in the third quarter of fiscal 2008 from 10.5% in the third quarter of fiscal 2007. This increase in gross profit and margin is primarily the result of driving higher utilization of technical personnel, recent personnel reductions, and the renegotiation and/or termination of certain unprofitable contracts.

Operating Expenses

Total operating expenses were $16.2 million in the third quarter of 2008, compared to $118.3 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2007, a decrease of $102.1 million. During the third quarter of fiscal 2007, the Company finalized its annual goodwill valuation and recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $98.3 million, recorded a charge to write-off certain software assets and a change in the useful life of other existing software assets of $2.1 million, resolved several outstanding lawsuits, claims, costs for corporate matters including the contested Proxy solicitation of $0.7 million and recorded an increase to the trade receivable allowance account of $2.4 million. These decreases in operating expenses were offset by increases in operating expenses during the third quarter of fiscal 2008 primarily driven by an increase of $1.0 million in personnel-related costs, and related selling, general and administrative expenses, to support our product and service businesses in order to improve customer, vendor and back office support functions. We also recorded an increase to the trade receivable allowance account of $0.3 million and severance charges of $0.7 million.

Operating expenses as a percentage of revenue were 11.2% for the third quarter of fiscal 2008 compared to 81.9% for the third quarter of fiscal 2007. Excluding the goodwill impairment charge in the third quarter of fiscal 2007, operating expenses as a percentage of revenue were 13.8%.

Income (Loss) from Operations

Income from operations was $2.0 million in the third quarter of 2008, as compared to a loss of $103.4 million for the same period of 2007. This increase is a result of the increase in gross profit and decrease in operating expenses in the third quarter of 2008, as described above.

Net Interest Income (Expense)

Net interest expense was $225 thousand during the third quarter of 2008 as compared to $105 thousand during the third quarter of 2007. During the third quarter of 2008, the Company had amounts outstanding under its credit facility due to the timing of payments of accounts payables and payroll and collections of receivables. Additionally, during the third quarter of 2008, we corrected the accounting treatment for floor plan financing, resulting in the recognition of interest charges of $164 thousand for the third quarter of 2008 compared to $175 thousand for the same period in 2007. The 2007 amounts have been reclassified to reflect this correction. The change in treatment of the floor plan financing was made due to determining that the floor plan financing does provide us with a modest extension of the credit terms over what we might obtain directly with a supplier. We have therefore concluded that cash flows under the floor plan arrangement should be classified as a financing activity. As a result of this change in classification, certain amounts paid under floor plan financings have been charged to interest expense and were reclassified from cost of sales.

Income Tax

For the third quarter of 2008, the Company had no income tax expense or income tax benefit. During the third quarter of fiscal 2008, the Company decreased its tax valuation allowance by $0.7 million for a total allowance of $15.2 million at October 5, 2008. The tax valuation allowance results from the future uncertainty of the Company’s ability to utilize its deferred tax assets. For the third quarter of fiscal 2008, the $0.7 million decrease in tax valuation reserve offset what would have been an income tax expense; the effective income tax rate would have been 37.9% prior to recording the tax valuation reserve. The effective income tax rate for the third quarter of fiscal 2007 was 11.3% due to the effect of permanent differences, primarily goodwill impairment, in the calculation of federal income taxes for the period.

Net Income (Loss)

Net income was $1.8 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2008 as compared to a net loss of $91.8 million in the third quarter of 2007, resulting from the factors described above.

Other Third Quarter Financial Information

* Working Capital of $80.0 million
* Cash Flow Generated by Operating Activities was $14.0 million
* Cash, Cash Equivalents and CD's totaled $18.4 million
* Capital Expenditures of $0.2 million
* Outstanding Floor Plan Financing of $13.9 million

As Frank Hagan said, "who better than an experienced talk show host and producer to handle the all important on-camera interviews for a program of this nature."

As host, Rob Nelson was seen on the Fox Syndicated Talk TV series "The Rob Nelson Show," "The Scholar" reality contest program on the ABC TV Network and "Second Verdict" for PAX-TV / NBC / Lion's Gate. He has helped create and produce a number of projects for various cable networks including Spike, E Entertainment and Showtime.

"Allison Legacy Racing: Real Cars, Real Kids, Real Racing" is in development and being successfully marketed to venues. Legacy Racers have an average age of 15 years who drive in real racecars (3/4 sized Nextel Cup Mazda based vehicles). The Allison Family is royalty in the world of Stock Car Racing and Kenny, Ronald and Donald Allison have continued their family legacy with the creation of the Legacy Racing circuit and the Legacy car. Recently, two former Legacy Racers, Joey Logano and Taylor Bayne both signed lucrative NASCAR contracts with Gibbs Racing and DEI respectively on or shortly after their 18th birthday. They credit their experience with Allison Legacy Racing for their training. The program will capture the essence of the other future young racers before some of them make their move into the pro circuit.

According to Rob Nelson, "From the first moment I heard about this project I wanted to be involved. The stories of the young men and women who sit behind the wheels of Allison Legacy Racers need to be heard, and I will make certain their voices, plans and goals to succeed are heard because that is what this show is all about..."
