NET REVENUE INCREASES OVER 37% TO $13.8 MILLION CONTINUED NET INCOME PROFITABILITY

TAMPA, FL– August 15, 2011–Jagged Peak, Inc. (OTCBB: JGPK), a global provider of enterprise eCommerce software, distribution and fulfillment services, announced financial results for the second quarter ended July 1, 2011.

Jagged Peak's TotalCommerce outsourced eCommerce solution is resonating with the market place. Additionally, the Company's existing clients are adding new eCommerce sites to their online businesses, and new clients are adopting the EDGE platform for their eCommerce needs at an accelerated rate. In the last two quarters, Jagged Peak added six new distribution centers to its fully integrated warehouse network, which now totals 19 facilities throughout North America. The additional warehouses enable Jagged Peak's clients to accelerate delivery of shipments to customers while lowering shipping costs. Through its 19 fulfillment centers, Jagged Peak is able to deliver 96 percent of orders in the U.S. by the next day at discounted ground or standard rates using multiple carriers. And, in Jagged Peak's New York City distribution center, 98 percent of orders placed by 4:00 p.m. are delivered the same day. This and other recent technology enhancements have contributed to the Company's growth.

Paul Demirdjian, Chief Executive Officer of Jagged Peak, Inc. commented, "We are thrilled to realize 37 percent growth in the first half of 2011. This is the result of our continued investment in our eCommerce technology and infrastructure. Recently we launched a new client eCommerce site that scored one of the highest single-day activity volumes ever. This is a testament to our team, our platform and our services. Recent additions to our executive team include Michael Mercier, who is Sr. Vice President of Business Development and Strategy and Ron Surfield, who is Vice President of Professional Services. These new executive positions, combined with the expertise and experience of our entire Jagged Peak team, will continue to foster the Company's growth and expansion beyond 2011.

Andrew J. Norstrud, Chief Financial Officer of Jagged Peak, Inc., commented, "During tough economic conditions, we are able to accelerate our growth with increased sales and marketing, while maintaining our profitability. We continue to make large investments in the sales and marketing infrastructure to fuel growth and increase our brand awareness. In addition, we continue to expand our North American distribution infrastructure, enabling us to provide excellent service while decreasing transportation costs to our customers. To maintain this momentum, management expects to invest heavily in infrastructure and software in the next 12 months."

Net revenues for the 26-week period increased more than 37 percent to approximately $13.8 million, compared to approximately $10.1 million for the same period last year. The increase in revenue was primarily related to the increase in transaction volume, continued expansion of services to existing customers and new technology customers. Cost of sales, which consist primarily of labor, software amortization, technology, facilities and other reimbursable expenses, increased by approximately 43 percent, to approximately $11 million, compared to approximately $7.7 million for the same period last year. As a percentage of revenue, cost of sales increased compared to the same period last year. The increased cost of sales resulted primarily from increased order volume, increased production capacity, increased lower margin revenue, technology enhancements and costs related to increased shipping revenue. General and Administrative expenses increased by approximately 23 percent to approximately $2.6 million compared with costs of approximately $2.1 million during the same period last year. The increase was primarily related to the increase in sales and marketing efforts and other overhead expenses related to the sales and marketing plan, as well as increased infrastructure costs. The Company reported a net income of approximately $27,500, or $(0.00) per weighted average share, compared with net income of approximately $36,800, or $(0.00) per weighted average share for the same period last year.

EBITDA for the 26-week period ended July 1, 2011, was approximately $524,800 compared to approximately $450,400 in the comparable period of the prior year. The increase in the EBITDA directly relates to the increase in sales compared to 2010. The Company defines EBITDA as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization costs. The Company also excludes, if applicable, the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle, discontinued operations, and the impact of restructuring and other charges from the computation. The Company believes EBITDA is a useful measure of operating performance before the impact of investing and financing transactions, making comparisons between company's earnings power more meaningful and providing consistent comparisons of the Company's performance. The following reconciliation provides consistent comparisons of year-over-year EBITDA.



USE OF GAAP AND NON-GAAP MEASURES
In addition to results presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP"), the Company has included in this report earnings "EBITDA," with EBITDA being defined by the Company as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. The Company also excludes the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle, discontinued operations, and the impact of restructuring and other charges from the computation of EBITDA, when applicable. For each non-GAAP financial measure, the Company has presented the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure and has reconciled the non-GAAP financial measure with such comparable GAAP financial measure.

These non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors to assist in understanding the underlying operational performance of the Company. Specifically, EBITDA is a useful measure of operating performance before the impact of investing and financing transactions, making comparisons between companies' earnings power more meaningful and providing consistent period-over-period comparisons of the Company's performance. In addition, the Company uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally to measure its on-going business performance and in reports to bankers to permit monitoring of the Company's ability to pay outstanding liabilities.
