RICHARDSON, TX--(MARKET WIRE)--Nov 14, 2008 -- TXP Corporation (OTC BB:TXPO.OB - News), an Original Design Manufacturer (ODM) for the telecommunications industry, today announced financial results for the three months ended September 30, 2008.

Michael C. Shores, President and Chief Executive Officer of TXP, stated, "We are encouraged about our planned merger with Cambridge Industry Group (CIG) as our combined companies will now offer the widest and most advanced selection of optical network terminals (ONT) in the fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) industry. We believe that our collective capabilties will enable us to more readily support the increasing demand for cost-effective, interoperable ONTs, strengthening our foothold as a leading market provider. The merger remains on track and we look forward to hopefully completing the transaction by year end."

"The progress in our ONT division is best illustrated by the three-fold increase in revenue we achieved related to Gigabit Passive Optical Network (GPON) ONT product sales for the three months ended September 30, 2008. Although overall ONT revenues remain small, these sales represent a significant increase in active pilot programs and field trials underway with major global carriers. As such, we anticipate these pilot programs and field trials will convert into broad deployment of our technology."

"Overall, we believe we are well-positioned to capture a meaningful share of the FTTH market. Household broadband connections are expected to increase 43% by 2012 as the U.S. is currently the fastest growing market for FTTH worldwide. We were honored to be included in the September 2008 edition of Broadband Properties Magazine as one of the key players poised to take advantage of this acceleration in FTTH deployment."

Total revenue for the third quarter of 2008 was approximately $2.68 million, compared with approximately $2.67 million for the same period in 2007. Revenue increased within both the ONT and Retrofit Solutions businesses, offset by a small decline in the prototyping business. Operating loss for the third quarter was approximately $1.94 million, compared to operating loss of approximately $1.70 million for the same period last year. Net income for the third quarter of 2008 was approximately $3.03 million, or $0.03 per share, compared to net loss of approximately $1.32 million, or $0.01 per share, for the same period in 2007. Net income in the third quarter of 2008 included a non-cash gain of approximately $6.31 million and 2007 included a non-cash gain of $0.87 million related to change in fair value of derivative financial instruments.

Full results are available in the company's quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 that was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 14, 2008.
