MINNEAPOLIS--(Business Wire)--
Titan Energy Worldwide, Inc. (OTC BB: TEWI.OB), a leader in the
manufacturing, marketing and servicing of energy generation products
and services, announced financial results for the year ended December
31, 2007.

   "2007 was a year of repositioning Titan Energy to take advantage
of the rapidly growing demand for back up, emergency and new energy
technologies throughout the United States. We ended the year with a
strengthened balance sheet and are now focused on accelerating growth
in our target markets," said John Tastad, Titan's Chief Executive
Officer.

   "As we move forward in 2008, we plan to aggressively market the
Sentry 5000 through our new distribution agreement with Katolight, one
of the largest suppliers of generation equipment in the U.S. with more
than 100 distributors nationwide," added Tastad. "We will also work to
expand our distribution reach through acquisition or partnerships with
our manufacturers; increase sales and service revenues through
alternative energy offerings; and promote and enhance the Titan Energy
brand name and reputation.

   "Our expertise in designing and servicing energy systems for
companies, municipalities, government/defense organizations combined
with our established distribution channels and high-quality service
capability position Titan Energy to meet the continued strong demand
for clean, efficient, energy solutions," concluded Tastad.

   Full Year 2007 Results

   For the full year ending December 31, 2007, revenue was $8.8
million, up from revenue of $7.0 million based on the proforma
year-end December 31, 2006. Cost of sales was $7.7 million, up 23%
over the prior year period due to higher sales volume. Total general
and administrative expenses were $3.3 million, up from $0.7 million in
2006. Loss from operations increased to $2.2 million from $0.6 million
in fiscal 2006.

   The company reported a net loss available to common stockholders
of $16.3 million or $2.50 per share for the fiscal year 2007, as
compared to a loss of $0.8 million or $3.18 per share in the prior
year. Earnings per share calculations for the full year 2007 included
$3.5 million in preferred dividend from beneficial conversion feature
on Series D and $9.7 million in preferred dividend from early
extinguishment of Preferred Stock Series A, B & C.

   "Extreme cold and wintry conditions in much of the Midwest
prevented the company from delivering generator systems in late 2007
and early 2008," said Tastad. "These orders are now backlogged to the
second and third quarters of 2008. At the same time, contractual
delays in executing the national distribution agreement with Katolight
pushed the first orders of Sentry 5000 units into 2008. Since
executing the agreement in February 2008, the company has booked
orders for seven Sentry 5000 units and we expect to receive several
additional orders in 2008."

   As of December 31, 2007, the company had total assets of $5.6
million with cash and cash equivalents of $.07 million, working
capital of $.09 million and stockholders' equity of $3.1 million.

   Due to adverse market conditions at the end of 2007, the company
extended its 2007 private placement offering of Preferred D stock
until January 31, 2008. At close, the company had raised approximately
$6.5 million from the Offering and another $1.8 million from the
conversion of notes. These transactions allowed the company to retire
approximately $4 million in debt and obtain working capital of
approximately $1.7 million.
