INDIANAPOLIS, IN--(Marketwire - August 14, 2009) - CTI Group (Holdings) Inc. (OTCBB: [ CTIG ]), an international provider of electronic invoice processing and management (EIM), enterprise communications management software and services solutions, and carrier class voice over internet protocol (VoIP) management applications, reported revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 of $4,139,322 and $8,088,610, respectively, compared to revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 of $5,035,495 and $10,374,707, respectfully. The decrease in revenues was primarily associated with the decline in the exchange rates of the UK pound in 2009 compared to 2008. The Company derives the majority of its revenue from its UK operations. The Company reported a net loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 of ($667,998), or ($0.02) per share and ($1,190,689), or ($0.04) per share, respectively, as compared to a net loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 of ($553,412) or ($0.02) per share and ($732,153) or ($0.03) per share, respectfully. The increase in net loss is primarily associated with a combination of decreased revenues and increase in patent enforcement costs.

Commenting on the results, John Birbeck, CTI Group's President and CEO, stated, "We derive the majority of our revenues from our UK operations; as a result, the depressed global economic conditions and weakness of the UK Pound against the US Dollar has had an unfavorable impact on performance. We continue to remain positive and encouraged by the increased number of opportunities in our markets and remain cautiously optimistic regarding our activities and strategy to navigate the challenging environment of 2009 and beyond."
