		<description>Leverage, Inc., confirms a staff layoff earlier this month.  This painful but temporary measure was taken to help the company focus operations in a very difficult economy. With an increasing number of high-profile retail and manufacturing bankruptcies, companies big and small are being urged by the investment community to make difficult cost cuts. 

This layoff was regrettable, but necessary, to ensure our ability to continue to provide the high level of service and support that our customers and partners have come to expect.  We have extended everyone affected by the layoff an offer to work with us on a contract basis as needed since the holidays are a very busy time for the company. While the layoff does have an effect on the pace of our overall development, the site is alive and healthy, it has more features than ever, and new features will continue to roll out over the next weeks and months. 

Leverage’s online gift card, loyalty, and promotional services continue to deliver industry-leading value, convenience and protection for consumers, and provide a unique marketing opportunity that maximizes ROI for our merchant partners.  In addition, investors continue to view Leverage and its unique business model as strong and viable.  We expect to receive our next round of funding in Q1 2009, at which time we anticipate an even more rapid expansion of our operations.</description>
