ILX Resorts Reports First Quarter Results

PHOENIX--(Business Wire)--
ILX Resorts Incorporated (AMEX: ILX), a leading developer,
operator and marketer of upscale flexible-stay vacation ownership
resorts in the western United States, announced a net loss for the
first quarter of 2008 of $632,847 or $0.18 per share both basic and
diluted. This represents a modest improvement from the first quarter
2007 loss of $653,199 or $0.19 per share both basic and diluted.

Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was $10.4
million as compared to $11.2 million for the comparable period in
2007. The decrease in revenue is due largely to the June 2007 closure
of the Rancho Manana Sales Office.

"In January and February we experienced certain aberrations
relating to our Sedona sales office," said Joe Martori, Chairman and
CEO. "Although resolved in March, this reduced opportunity to sell,
coupled with continued expense recognition of legal fees as incurred
for the defense of litigation, negatively impacted profitability. On a
more positive note, the Nevada court has granted and reaffirmed our
motion to dismiss this litigation and has also awarded us legal fees."
He continued, "I am pleased to report that to date, the impact on our
business of general economic conditions has been relatively mild. Our
vacation products, which let consumers vacation well, yet affordably,
are suited to current consumer desires and we look forward to
combining the cost reductions and operating efficiencies put in place
in late 2007 and early 2008 with a focus on sales of vacation
ownership in our major markets."

ILX Resorts acquires, develops, and operates premier timeshare
resorts primarily in the western United States that provide its owners
with extraordinary vacation experiences. ILX's portfolio of
world-class properties includes eight resorts in Arizona, one in
Indiana, one in Colorado, one in San Carlos, Mexico and land in Puerto
Penasco ("Rocky Point"), Mexico and Sedona, Arizona, both of which are
in the final planning stages. It also, through Premiere Vacation Club,
has acquired, and continues to acquire, inventory at the Carriage
House in Las Vegas and in addition has acquired inventory at the
Scottsdale Camelback Resort in Scottsdale, Arizona. For more
