"8x8 performed exceptionally well during the second quarter of fiscal 2012 as we experienced unusually strong summer demand for our cloud-based unified communications solutions," said 8x8 Chairman & CEO Bryan Martin. "At the same time, we executed upon several key strategic initiatives that underscore 8x8's unique role as the one stop shop for industry-leading, 'gold standard' solutions, highlighted this quarter by the expansion of our offerings with the acquisition of Contactual. In addition, this past August was the best month ever for recurring revenue generated and a recently conducted customer survey confirmed our belief that businesses are increasingly choosing 8x8's service offerings not only to lower expenses but to also leverage the features and flexibility of these solutions to position themselves for future growth."

As of September 30, 2011, the Company had $19.1 million in cash, cash equivalents and investments, compared with $17.9 million on September 30, 2010 and $18.9 million on June 30, 2011.

"During the quarter, approximately 300 of our new business voice customers, not including Contactual customers, subscribed to more than 25 physical lines and we are excited about the prospects we see in these markets through our new sales channel partners."
