PORTLAND, OR–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Microfield Group, Inc. (”Microfield”) (OTCBB: MICG - News), and its subsidiary, EnergyConnect, announced financial results today for the first quarter ended March 29, 2008. The Company generated revenues from continuing operations of $7,379,000 for the first quarter 2008 compared to revenues of $2,600,000 for the first quarter 2007, an increase of $4,779,000.

The company has revised its accounting for reserves for collection of revenues. This change results in a first quarter that includes four months of payments. The revision reflects the company’s proven ability to more accurately estimate collections. Previously revenue was estimated monthly, reserved and then recognized upon receipt. Beginning with the first month of 2008, revenue was recognized without reserve. This revision resulted in additional revenue of $1,584,000 being recorded in the first quarter of 2008. On a three month comparative basis, revenue for the first quarter of 2008 was $5,795,000 compared to $2,600,000 for the same period last year.

“The increase between comparative periods is indicative of the rapid acceptance of EnergyConnect’s price based energy products in key U.S. electric grids,” Randy Reed, Microfield’s Chief Financial Officer, noted. “Our automated and easy to use systems provide an attractive income opportunity for large energy consumers.”

The loss from continuing operations for the first quarter of 2008 was $1,904,000 compared to an operating loss of $1,339,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007. This increased loss was due to higher SG&A expenses driven by increases in headcount and system development costs as the EnergyConnect continues to build its revenue base and product offerings.

The Company recorded a net loss of $2,079,000 or $0.02 per share for the three months ended March 29, 2008, compared to a net loss of $1,972,000 or $0.02 per share for the three months ended March 31, 2007. Included in these losses are operating losses from our discontinued subsidiary, Christenson Electric, of $175,000 and $634,000 for the three months ended March 29, 2008 and March 31, 2007, respectively.

Operating expenses for the three months ended March 29, 2008 were $3,102,000, compared to $1,777,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2007. The increase of $1,325,000 between quarters was primarily due to salaries, benefits and related costs associated with new hires and development expenses in this year’s first quarter that were not in last year’s first quarter. These expenses were within the range of expectations for first quarter 2008 expenses.

With respect to the balance sheet, quarter ending unrestricted cash was $118,000 compared to $759,000 at December 29, 2007. This decrease of $641,000 is the result of normal cash usage.

Commenting on the first quarter results, Rod Boucher, Microfield’s Chief Executive Officer, said, “The first quarter results reflect increased activity from existing participants plus substantial contributions from new participating electric consumers. These results match our growth expectations and affirm our business plan, and are a credit to the dedication of our employees.”

Portland, OR – March 13, 2008: EnergyConnect, a wholly owned subsidiary of Microfield Group, Inc. (MICG.OB), and industry leader in innovative Demand Response technologies, today announced that it has enrolled customers comprising nearly 200 participating locations/facilities in the mid-Atlantic and Midwest-based PJM market in its 2008 EnergyReserve Corps. This EnergyConnect branded service integrates into PJM’s Interruptible Load Response program (ILR), and is designed to help ease the pressure on the nation’s largest electricity grid during times of peak summer demand. EnergyConnect’s cutting-edge Demand Response services enable a smarter, more sustainable power grid while creating additional profit for participating companies.

Collectively, the newly enrolled participants are committed to reducing approximately 200 Megawatts (MW) of power when called upon, typically on the hottest days of the year. This commitment, if met in full, could result in 2008 revenue of three times the revenue recorded in last year’s ILR program. As compensation for their participation, EnergyConnect will remit to participants monthly standby payments. Participants also earn additional payments when they fulfill their commitment to perform.

“We are pleased with the success of this targeted enrollment campaign and consider it further testament of EnergyConnect’s high-growth business model targeting the multi-billion dollar demand response industry,” said Randy Reed, Chief Financial Officer of Microfield Group. “We look forward to working with these participants to fully leverage the opportunities available in today’s wholesale electricity market.”

“EnergyConnect’s products and services have revolutionized the way we manage our energy consumption, allowing us to reduce use and generate new revenue streams that can be directed towards future energy efficiency efforts,” said Ted Staniewicz, Director of Facilities at Delaware Valley College in Doylestown, PA. “The program has launched a campus-wide spirit of energy conservation, and we are thrilled to be participating in this summer’s EnergyReserve Corps.”

In addition to the EnergyReserve Corps, EnergyConnect works throughout the year with electricity consumers, grid operators and utilities to implement strategies for bringing supplementary electricity on line quickly through demand response for less money than turning to high cost peaking power plants. EnergyConnect tailors its industry leading Demand Response services to function with the capabilities of a wide range of facilities; including municipal and government institutions, hospitals, commercial buildings and manufacturing facilities.

EnergyConnect continues to enroll customers in its 2008 voluntary programs and is also providing participants with the option to lock in pricing now for the 2009 and 2010 EnergyReserve Corps.

EnergyConnect has established marketing alliances with a range of partners across the growing demand response industry who benefit from access to the company’s next generation demand response technology. EnergyConnect also works directly with a growing list of electricity consumers, along with grid operators and utilities to implement strategies for bringing additional electricity on line quickly and for less money than turning to high cost peaking power plants.

While several partnerships have been instrumental in supporting EnergyConnect’s rapidly growing demand response business, the company and Constellation NewEnergy have decided to conclude a recent marketing alliance designed to cross-market EnergyConnect’s cutting-edge Demand Response services with Constellation NewEnergy’s industry leading commodity offerings. Both companies will continue to work together as advocates for advancing Demand Response markets nationwide and the termination of their joint efforts will have no material impact on EnergyConnect’s 2008 operations or revenues.

“We view a collaborative approach to leveraging the opportunities available in the expanding demand response market as integral to developing a smarter and more sustainable power grid,” said Rodney M. Boucher, Chief Executive Officer of Microfield Group. “We are committed to identifying and working with partners who are interested in providing their electric customers with access to our innovative Demand Response services.”
