• Second quarter net loss of $11.9 million; adjusted to $2.5 million in net income excluding impairment charge and other items impacting comparability.
• Non-cash impairment charge of $26.2 million ($15.3 million after tax) recorded in the second quarter.
• Systems Integration records operating income during the quarter.

EPHRATA, PENNSYLVANIA (August 11, 2008) -- D&E Communications, Inc. ("D&E" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: DECC), a leading provider of integrated communications services in central and eastern Pennsylvania, today announced the results of its operations for the second quarter ended June 30, 2008.

The Company reported total operating revenue of $37.5 million for the second quarter of 2008, compared to $37.2 million in the second quarter of 2007. The revenue increase of $0.3 million for the second quarter of 2008 was the result of an increase in Wireline segment revenue of $0.3 million.

As a result of the completion of the Company's annual test for impairment of goodwill and intangible assets as of April 30, 2008, the Company recognized a non-cash intangible asset impairment charge of $26.2 million ($15.3 million, or $1.06 per share, after tax) relating to its Wireline franchise intangible assets. The second quarter 2008 results were positively affected by a decrease in depreciation expense in the Wireline segment of $1.4 million ($0.9 million, or $0.07 per share, after tax) primarily due to revisions in the estimated useful lives of certain fixed assets effective July 2007, in addition to certain fixed assets becoming fully depreciated in the first and second quarters of 2007.

Primarily as a result of the items described above, the Company reported a net loss of $11.9 million, or $0.82 per share, compared to net income of $2.3 million, or $0.16 per share, for the same period last year and an operating loss for the second quarter of 2008 of $18.1 million, compared to operating income of $6.5 million in the second quarter of 2007. Net income before the items described above was $2.5 million, or $0.17 per share, for the second quarter of 2008 compared to $2.3 million, or $0.16 per share for second quarter of 2007.

For the six months ended June 30, 2008, the Company reported a net loss of $6.8 million, or $0.47 per share, compared to net income of $4.9 million, or $0.34 per share, for the same period last year. Operating loss for the six months ended June 30, 2008 was $10.0 million, compared to operating income of $12.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2007. The Company reported total operating revenue of $75.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008, compared to $75.6 million for the same period last year.

Included in the 2008 six-month results was the non-cash intangible asset impairment on the Wireline franchise intangible assets described above. The 2008 six-month results were also affected by income of $2.9 million ($1.7 million, or $0.12 per common share, after tax) from the termination of a lease guarantee and a decrease in depreciation expense in the Wireline segment of $3.0 million ($2.0 million, or $0.13 per share, after tax) primarily due to revisions in the estimated useful lives of certain fixed assets effective July 2007, in addition to certain fixed assets becoming fully depreciated in the first and second quarters of 2007. Included in the 2007 results was a gain of $0.6 million ($0.6 million, or $0.04 per share, after tax) from life insurance proceeds. Net income before the items described above was $4.8 million, or $0.34 per share, for the six months ended June 30, 2008, compared to $4.3 million, or $0.30 per share, for the six months ended June 30, 2007.

Net income of $5.1 million and earnings per share of $0.35

Ephrata, PA -- D&E Communications, Inc. ("D&E" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: DECC), a leading provider of integrated communications services in central and eastern Pennsylvania, today announced the results of its operations for the first quarter ended March 31, 2008.

For the first quarter of 2008, the Company reported net income of $5.1 million, or $0.35 per share, compared to net income of $2.6 million, or $0.18 per share, for the same period last year. Operating income for the first quarter of 2008 was $8.1 million, compared to operating income of $5.5 million in the first quarter of 2007. The Company reported total operating revenue of $37.8 million for the first quarter of 2008, compared to $38.4 million in the first quarter of 2007.

The revenue decrease of $0.6 million for the first quarter of 2008 was primarily the result of a reduction in Systems Integration revenue of $0.9 million due mainly to the March 31, 2007 expiration of a contract with a retail services customer, partially offset by an increase in Wireline segment revenue of $0.3 million.

Included in the first quarter 2008 results was income of $2.9 million ($1.7 million, or $0.12 per common share, after tax) from the termination of a lease guarantee described below. The first quarter 2008 results were also affected by a decrease in depreciation expense in the Wireline segment of $1.6 million ($1.0 million, or $0.06 per share, after tax) primarily due to revisions in the estimated useful lives of certain fixed assets effective July 2007, in addition to certain fixed assets becoming fully depreciated in the first and second quarters of 2007. Results for the first quarter of 2007 included a gain of $0.6 million ($0.6 million, or $0.04 per share, after tax) from life insurance proceeds. Net income before the items described above was $2.4 million, or $0.17 per share, for the first quarter of 2008, compared to $2.0 million, or $0.14 per share, for the first quarter of 2007.

In the first quarter of 2008, D&E entered into an agreement with subsidiaries of Crown Castle International Corp. ("Crown") releasing the Company from its obligations under a guarantee agreement with Crown for lease obligations for wireless tower sites of Keystone Wireless LLC. In connection with the termination of the lease guarantee, D&E and Crown agreed to additional renewal periods through June 2066 for a ground lease agreement under which D&E is the lessor. In the first quarter of 2008, the Company recognized a gain of $2.9 million based on the difference between the carrying value of the guarantee liability of $3.2 million and the fair value of the additional renewal periods of $0.3 million. The fair value of the lease extension will be deferred and recognized over the original lease term and initial renewal periods that expire in June 2026.

"The overall results of the first quarter were quite positive," stated James W. Morozzi, D&E's President and Chief Executive Officer. "Net income for the first quarter of 2008 increased 95% compared to the first quarter of 2007. Excluding certain events noted above, the increase in net income was approximately 20%. From an operating perspective, we continue to execute on our strategies of broadband growth, increased On-Net CLEC business, and improved performance in our Systems Integration segment. The recent changes we've made in Systems Integration are showing tangible results, as the operating loss for the first quarter of 2008 has improved by approximately $0.7 million compared to the same quarter in 2007. We continue to focus on serving our core customers and in driving to eliminate the operating losses in this segment."

Full year 2007 net income of $10.6 million and earnings per share of $0.74

EPHRATA, PENNSYLVANIA (March 11, 2008) - D&E Communications, Inc. ("D&E" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: DECC), a leading provider of integrated communications services in central and eastern Pennsylvania, today announced the results of its operations for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2007. For the fourth quarter of 2007, the Company reported total operating revenue of $38.8 million, compared to $39.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2006. Operating income for the fourth quarter of 2007 was $4.1 million, compared to operating income of $7.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2006. Net income for the fourth quarter of 2007 was $2.0 million, or $0.14 per share, compared to a net income of $3.5 million, or $0.24 per share, for the same period last year. Net income before certain one-time items described below was $2.8 million, or $0.19 per share, for the fourth quarter of 2007, compared to $2.7 million, or $0.18 per share, for the fourth quarter of 2006.

In the fourth quarter of 2007, the Company recognized a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $5.2 million ($4.7 million, or $0.32 per common share, after tax) in the Systems Integration segment. Going forward, the Company expects the Systems Integration segment to focus on a more limited set of core customers. As a result of this strategic change, the Company compared the estimated future cash flows from this smaller business segment to the value of goodwill ascribed to the segment which resulted in the impairment. As a result of this non-cash goodwill impairment charge, the Systems Integration segment is left with no remaining goodwill or intangible asset value on the segment's balance sheet.

The revenue decrease of $1.0 million for the fourth quarter 2007 is primarily the result of a new directory contract which became effective in the fourth quarter of 2006. Under the new contract, the responsibility for publication and distribution of the directory and the related financial risks became the responsibility of the publisher. As new directories covered by this contract are published, directory revenue is only the annual fee paid to the Company for access to our customers. As a result, directory revenue decreased $1.2 million and directory expenses decreased $1.1 million from the fourth quarter of 2006 to the fourth quarter of 2007.

Also included in the fourth quarter 2007 results was income of $4.6 million ($2.7 million, or $0.19 per common share, after tax) from the collection of remaining outstanding principal on the note received from the sale of Conestoga Wireless assets, which was scheduled to be paid in monthly installments through June 1, 2009. These principal payments collected during the 2007 period compared to $0.7 million ($0.4 million, or $0.03 per common share, after tax) in principal payments collected in the fourth quarter of 2006. The note receivable was fully reserved on our balance sheet because the note was from a highly leveraged entity and the business sold had not generated positive cash flow prior to its sale. Thus, the Company recognized income upon collection of the principal and interest. The fourth quarter 2007 results were also affected by a decrease in depreciation expense in the Wireline segment of $1.8 million ($1.2 million, or $0.08 per share, after tax) primarily due to revisions in the estimated useful lives of certain fixed assets effective July 2007, in addition to certain fixed assets becoming fully depreciated in the first and second quarters of 2007. Results for the fourth quarter 2006 included a loss from discontinued operations of $0.3 million, or $0.02 per share, and a gain on investment of $1.0 million ($0.7 million, or $0.05 per common share, after tax) as a result of a $1.0 million cash payment received in December related to advances to our international operations that had been written off in a previous year.

Total operating revenue for the full year 2007 was $152.6 million, compared to $162.1 million for the previous year. The revenue decrease of $9.5 million for the year 2007 was primarily the result of a decline in directory revenue of $10.3 million, due to the terms of the new directory contract described above. Directory expenses decreased $9.6 million as a result of this contract. Operating income for 2007 was $24.6 million, compared to operating income of $22.5 million in 2006. Net income for the year was $10.6 million, or $0.74 per share, compared to a net income of $6.7 million, or $0.47 per share, for 2006. Net income before certain one-time items described below was $9.2 million, or $0.64 per share, for the year ended December 31, 2007, compared to $7.6 million, or $0.53 per share, for the year ended December 31, 2006.

Results for the year 2007 included a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $5.2 million ($4.7 million, or $0.32 per common share, after tax) described above, a gain of $0.6 million ($0.6 million, or $0.04 per share, after tax) from life insurance proceeds, a decrease in depreciation expense in the Wireline segment of $3.6 million ($2.3 million, or $0.16 per share, after tax) described above and income of $5.5 million ($3.2 million, or $0.22 per common share, after tax) from the collection of the remaining outstanding principal on the note received from the sale of Conestoga Wireless assets as described above, which was scheduled to be paid in monthly installments through June 1, 2009. These principal payments collected during 2007 compare to $2.9 million ($1.6 million, or $0.11 per common share, after tax) in principal payments collected in 2006. Results for 2006 included a gain on investment of $1.0 million ($0.7 million, or $0.05 per common share, after tax) as a result of a $1.0 million cash payment received in December related to advances to our international operations that had been written off in a previous year, a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $1.1 million ($0.6 million, or $0.04 per share after tax), a non-cash customer relationships intangible asset impairment loss of $1.9 million ($1.1 million, or $0.08 per share, after tax) and a loss from discontinued operations of $1.5 million, net of tax, or $0.10 per share.

"D&E continued to advance its corporate objectives in 2007," stated James W. Morozzi, D&E's President and Chief Executive Officer. "We continue to execute upon our broadband growth initiative as we ended the year with 38,333 DSL/ High-speed Internet subscribers, an increase of 21% over last year. We have also made progress in our CLEC's "On-Net" initiative with an increase to 34% of our customers being served entirely on our own network at year-end, as compared to 30% On-Net at year-end 2006. At the same time, we increased the number of traditional access lines in our CLEC markets by almost 7% for business customers and more than 5% in total, which also reflects our strategy to reduce the number of residential customers that we serve on a low-margin resale basis. We are experiencing growth in the non-traditional data equivalent lines in our markets and were successful in completing network enhancements during this past year that allow us to provide new products like Metro Ethernet/MPLS."

Morozzi noted, "While not yet satisfied with the results of the Systems Integration segment, we have seen positive results in 2007 of the steps that we have taken to improve the financial performance of the segment. There was a $2.1 million reduction in the Systems Integration operating loss when comparing the results for 2007 and 2006 and excluding the effects of the 2007 non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $5.2 million and the 2006 non-cash intangible asset impairment charge of $1.9 million. We are making more changes in 2008 in an effort to eliminate the operating loss. We have incorporated the Systems Integration's sales team into our existing Wireline sales management structure, allowing us to reduce our employee count. We have assessed our sales results and modified our compensation plans to place more emphasis on developing additional business from our core customers. We have attained Microsoft Gold Certified Partner status, which provides us with additional support and training from Microsoft. We continue to enhance our Cisco qualifications and certifications around core network infrastructure, architecture and design skills that directly complement our Wireline products and services. We plan to further align the segment's core service of information technology solutions with the products and services that we offer to our Wireline segment customers. The intended result will initially be a smaller Systems Integration segment, focused on serving our core customers, and driving to eliminate the operating losses."

Morozzi added, "We continue to see the competitive pressures in our RLEC markets, demonstrated by the 4.0% reduction in traditional access lines in those areas. However, we continue to find ways to control costs in the business, evidenced in 2007 by our ability to maintain benefit costs without sacrificing our ability to attract and retain employees. These reductions in cost enable us to recognize increases in our operating income and cash flows, helping us to continue to pay down our long-term debt, which we were able to reduce by slightly more than $13 million in 2007."

EPHRATA, PENNSYLVANIA (November 5, 2007) - D&E Communications, Inc. ("D&E" or "Company") (Nasdaq: DECC), a leading provider of integrated communications services in central and eastern Pennsylvania, today announced the results of its operations for the third quarter ended September 30, 2007.

For the third quarter of 2007 the Company reported total operating revenues of $38.2 million, compared to $40.6 million in the third quarter of 2006. Operating income for the third quarter of 2007 was $8.5 million compared to operating income of $6.2 million in the third quarter of 2006. Net income for the third quarter of 2007 was $3.8 million, or $0.26 per share, compared to a net income of $0.7 million, or $0.05 per share, for the same period last year. The third quarter 2007 results were affected by a decrease in depreciation expense in the Wireline segment of $1.8 million ($1.2 million, or $0.08 per share, after tax) primarily due to revisions in the estimated useful lives of certain fixed assets to update composite depreciation rates for regulated telephone property and certain fixed assets becoming fully depreciated in June 2007. The third quarter 2006 results were affected by the loss on early extinguishment of debt of $1.1 million ($0.6 million, or $0.04 per share, after tax) and a loss from discontinued operations of $0.9 million, or $0.06 per share. Net income before these items was $2.6 million, or $0.18 per share, for the third quarter of 2007, compared to $2.2 million, or $0.15 per share, for the third quarter of 2006.

The revenue decrease of $2.4 million was primarily the result of a decline in directory revenue of $3.2 million, due to the terms of a directory contract which became effective in the fourth quarter of 2006 and which covers three of the four directories that we publish. Directory expenses decreased $3.0 million as a result of this contract, under which the responsibility for publication and distribution of the directory and the related financial risks became the responsibility of the publisher. As a result, our directory revenue, as the new directories that are covered by this contract are published, will only be the annual fee paid to the Company for access to our customers.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, the Company reported total operating revenue of $113.8 million, compared to $122.3 million in the same period last year. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was $8.7 million, or $0.60 per share, as compared to $3.3 million, or $0.23 per share, for the same period last year. Included in the 2007 results were a gain of $0.6 million ($0.6 million, or $0.04 per share, after tax) from life insurance proceeds and a decrease in depreciation expense in the Wireline segment of $1.8 million ($1.2 million, or $0.08 per share, after tax) described above. Included in the 2006 results were a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $1.1 million ($0.6 million, or $0.04 per share, after tax), a customer relationships intangible asset impairment loss recognized in continuing operations of $1.9 million ($1.1 million, or $0.08 per share, after tax) and a loss from discontinued operations of $1.2 million, or $0.08 per share. Net income before these items was $6.9 million, or $0.48 per share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, compared to $6.2 million, or $0.43 per share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2006.

"I am pleased with the progress that we are making in growing our broadband connections, the number of subscribers in our CLEC markets and in the improving financial performance of our Systems Integration segment," said James W. Morozzi, President and CEO of D&E Communications. "During the third quarter, we increased the number of DSL/High-speed Internet subscribers by 2,704. We also increased the percentage of CLEC customers that are serviced entirely on our own network to 33.2%. We were able to reduce the Systems Integration operating loss by 50% during this quarter compared to the third quarter of last year. By continuing to focus on these objectives and by controlling our operating expenses, we have been able to improve our financial performance."

Net income for the year was $6.7 million, or $0.47 per share, as compared to a net income of $13.7 million, or $0.96 per share, for 2005.

Results for 2006 included a gain on investment of $1.0 million ($0.7 million, or $0.05 per common share, after tax) as a result of a $1.0 million cash payment received in December related to advances to our international operations that had been written off in a previous year, a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $1.1 million ($0.6 million, or $0.04 per share after tax), a non-cash customer relationships intangible asset impairment loss of $1.9 million ($1.1 million, or $0.08 per share, after tax) and a loss on the sale of the Voice Systems Business of $1.0 million, net of tax, or $0.07 per share. Results for 2005 include income of $6.4 million ($6.0 million, or $0.42 per common share, after tax) from the sale of the company's direct and indirect investment in Pilicka, a gain on investment of $2.0 million ($1.3 million, or $0.09 per common share, after tax) from the sale of our interest in PenTeleData and a reduction of income tax expense of $0.4 million, or $0.02 per share, due to adjusting federal and state tax provisions for 2004 to the actual tax returns filed in 2005. Net income before these items was $8.7 million, or $0.61 per share, for the year ended December 31, 2006, compared to $6.0 million, or $0.43 per share, for the year ended December 31, 2005.

"D&E made solid progress in 2006," stated James Morozzi, D&E's President and Chief Executive Officer. "We placed corporate emphasis on broadband growth and have increased DSL/ High-speed Internet subscribers by 41% over last year. We have also realized success in our CLEC's "On-Net" initiative with an increase to 30% of our customers being served entirely on our own network at year-end as compared to 26% On-Net at year-end 2005. This focus on converting existing customers to our own facilities, as well as emphasizing customer acquisition on our network, is a key to the profitability of our CLEC. To that end, we expanded our network in January 2007 with the purchase of a 26-mile fiber optic network in the Harrisburg area and contracts with two central Pennsylvania school districts. In 2006, our CLEC crossed a milestone by generating operating income for the first time."

Morozzi also noted, "We certainly realize that 2007 is a critical year for our Systems Integration segment. We feel that we positioned ourselves for success in October with the sale of the assets of our commercial voice equipment and service operation to eCommunications Systems Corporation. This move away from a non-strategic business will allow us to put more focus on data, professional and managed services which provide recurring revenue for D&E."

Morozzi concluded, "Despite the competitive pressures our RLECs face, we experienced solid performance from this area as a result of cost containment initiatives and the continued emphasis on service to our customers.  Our employees continue to strive to Deliver Excellence to every customer, every day."

HARRISBURG, PA - Spring training has begun in Florida for the major leagues, and it won't be long before the crack of the bat can be heard at Commerce Bank Park on City Island. The Harrisburg Senators will be back in action on Thursday evening, April 12.

This year, buying game tickets has been made a lot easier with on-line ticket ordering - a service that the Senators management asked D&E Communications to design and implement for them. To buy tickets on-line go to www.senatorsbaseball.com, select the seats, purchase the tickets and then print them with a local printer or have the box office print them for pick up at will-call on the day of the game. Bar codes on the tickets are scanned at the gates for admission.

"Our new on-line capability probably will improve our ticket ordering process tenfold," said Todd Vander Woude, general manager of the Senators. "It's great for the fans, and it is great for us. The new system allows fans to select their seats in the stadium rather than corresponding back and forth with the ticket office on seat availability. That's the way we used to do it. Now, once selected and purchased on-line, it is as simple as printing the tickets at home or we can print them for you at our ticket office."

Douglas Shenk, Consulting Engineer at D&E Communications, said the process actually began in 2006 when D&E installed wireless routers to connect the Senators' main office and Internet to the press box and annex at the ballpark. This allows visiting press to broadcast live and report on the game over the Internet without the need for a landline connection.

The next upgrade took place in January when D&E upgraded the network and installed a new server to replace the ball club's aging equipment. Software was then installed by TicketReturn, a Web-based, ticket purchasing software company. To interconnect the system and manage seat sales, D&E connected the new system to the Senators' local area network (LAN) and installed a Web server to provide a highly reliable, manageable and scalable Web solution.

Harrisburg Senators On-line Ticketing

The final step at the box office was to set up printers for printing the tickets when they were ordered over the phone or put in will-call by on-line ordering.

D&E is now working with the Senators to install wireless handheld scanners to be used at admission gates. In addition to verifying the authenticity of a ticket, the scanners will collect important data on ticket sales and transmit the data to the Senators' upgraded information technology system via wireless access points.

Vander Woude said the Senators are ready for an exciting season and welcome on-line ticket sales as a new convenience for fans. Last year, the Senators had one of their top seasons in attendance with more than 250,000 tickets sold.

EPHRATA, Pa. (November 7, 2006) - D&E Communications, Inc. ("D&E" or "Company") (Nasdaq: DECC), a leading provider of integrated communications services in central and eastern Pennsylvania, today announced the results of its operations for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2006.

For the third quarter of 2006, the Company reported total operating revenue of $40.6 million, as compared to $41.1 million in the third quarter of 2005. Net income for the third quarter was $0.7 million, or $0.05 per share, as compared to $2.4 million, or $0.17 per share, for the same period last year. The primary reasons for the decrease in net income were the loss on the early extinguishment of debt of $1.1 million ($0.6 million, or $0.04 per share, after tax) and the loss on the sale of assets of the commercial voice equipment and service operations of the Systems Integration segment ("Voice Systems Business") of $0.9 million, net of tax, or $0.06 per share incurred during the third quarter of 2006. Included in the third quarter 2005 results was a reduction of income tax expense of $0.4 million, or $0.02 per share, due to adjusting federal and state tax provisions for 2004 to the actual tax returns filed in 2005. Net income before these items was $2.2 million, or $0.15 per share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2006, compared to $2.0 million, or $0.15 per share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2005.

On September 19, 2006, D&E completed an amendment to its syndicated senior secured debt financing. The amendment reduces the interest rates on the indebtedness, provides greater flexibility in its financial covenants, extends the scheduled amortization of principal, eliminates the $10 million permanent reduction on the revolving line of credit previously scheduled for December 31, 2006 and eliminates the requirement to maintain interest rate protection. D&E anticipates that the reduction in interest rates will result in an average annual cash savings of approximately $0.6 million assuming the margin added to the U.S. prime or LIBOR rates in effect prior to the amendment would have been in effect throughout the term of the credit facilities using the amended loan amortization schedules. D&E incurred a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $1.1 million, consisting of a non-cash write-off of $1.05 million of unamortized debt issuance costs of the previous credit facility and the expensing of $0.05 million of debt issuance costs related to the amended credit facility. D&aamp;E capitalized approximately $0.3 million of debt issuance costs related to the amended credit facility, which will be amortized into interest expense over the life of the amended credit facility. In connection with the amendment, interest rate swap agreements with a notional amount of $75 million were terminated. D&E received cash termination payments of $1.1 million, which will be amortized as a reduction of interest expense over the remainder of the respective terms of the interest rate swap agreements. These agreements were due to mature between November 2008 and December 2009.

On September 29, 2006, D&E completed the sale of the Voice Systems Business to eCommunications Systems Corporation ("eComm") The sale did not include the professional data and information technology services, security, design and network monitoring operations of D&E's Systems Integration segment. The fair value of the sale consideration was $3.0 million consisting of cash of $0.25 million, a promissory note for $2.4 million (face value $2.5 million) issued by eComm and a 10% equity interest in eComm of $0.35 million, with a related put right. The results of operations of the Voice Systems Business are reported as discontinued operations in the financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, the Company reported total operating revenue of $122.3 million, as compared to $122.7 million in the same period last year. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was $3.3 million, or $0.23 per share, as compared to $6.6 million, or $0.46 per share, for the same period last year. Included in the 2006 results were the loss on early extinguishment of debt of $1.1 million ($0.6 million, or $0.04 per share after tax), the customer relationships intangible asset impairment loss from continuing operations of $1.9 million ($1.1 million, or $0.08 per share, after tax) and the loss on the sale of the Voice Systems Business of $0.9 million, net of tax, or $0.06 per share. Included in the 2005 results was a gain on investment of $2.0 million ($1.3 million, or $0.09 per share, after tax) from the sale of our ownership interest in PenTeleData and a reduction of income tax expense of $0.4 million, or $0.02 per share, due to adjusting federal and state tax provisions for 2004 to the actual tax returns filed in 2005. Net income before these items was $5.9 million, or $0.41 per share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, compared to $4.9 million, or $0.35 per share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2005.

James W. Morozzi, D&E's President and CEO stated, "From an operations standpoint, we continue to see strong growth in our broadband Internet Services and CLEC businesses, two of our main objectives for the year. Additionally, we have been able to mitigate some of the pressures facing our RLEC through successful marketing and customer service initiatives as well as continued expense management. With the sale of our Voice Systems Business now behind us, we are able to focus our Systems Integration segment on professional data and information technology services, security, design and network monitoring services, which provide recurring revenue. Systems Integration is poised for improvement in operating results."

Morozzi concluded, "Because of the efforts of our highly skilled and dedicated workforce, we continue to see improvement over our 2005 operating results, while Delivering Excellence to our customers and shareholders."
