The Company expects all aspects of the new business model will be fully implemented by the end of 2008 or early 2009 and the results of restructuring, which are beginning to be seen, will start having a more profound impact on the Company and its results of operations.
During Q2 of 2008, the Company's non-GAAP total Gross Merchandise Sales from uBid.com and other sources increased 4% over Q1, and total bidders on uBid.com increased to 198,000 from 181,000 Q2 over Q1. Auction success rate on uBid.com increased to 30% from 13% while dramatically reducing the number of total auctions held from 455,000 to 181,000.

While the previous administration may have been focused on achieving better short-term results, Enable Holdings, Inc. Chief Executive Officer Jeff Hoffman and his administration are focused on achieving a long-term leadership position in the market, and the Company's initiatives will reflect that going forward.
"Our previous business model did not allow us to win in the market," said Hoffman. "Through the restructuring process and the introduction of our new business model, we are re-building our company and giving ourselves a chance to win in a fairly untapped market as a comprehensive excess inventory solutions provider. It's a very exciting time for us, and we're ready to start winning."
