GSB Globalscape Inc

GlobalSCAPE, Inc. (AMEX:GSB), a leading developer of file-centric solutions for the Internet, today reported revenues of $3.7 million and net income of $227,000 for the third quarter 2008. The respective revenue and net income for the third quarter 2007 were $3.9 million and $703,000. Earnings per diluted share for the third quarter ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 were $.01 and $.04, respectively. The decrease in third quarter net income, compared to the same period in 2007, is the result of increased research and development (R&D) as well as the amortization of intangibles related to the 2006 acquisition of Availl. The increase in R&D expenses is due largely to the Company�s development of new products and delivery of additional product upgrades in 2008. Contacted for comment, James R. Morris, GlobalSCAPE President and CEO stated, �As previously discussed in our second quarter press release and earnings call, GlobalSCAPE has made a strategic decision to make investments in our current and future solutions to maintain our global leadership position in the consumer and enterprise markets. We are very pleased to have sustained these strategic investments in today�s economic environment. We continue to be cash flow positive, have no long term debt, and maintain a healthy cash balance. We plan to continue our strategic investments for growth and deeper penetration in existing and adjacent market spaces while conserving our cash position.� Quarterly Highlights In July, GlobalSCAPE announced that it had been positioned in the Leader�s Quadrant of the Gartner Magic Quadrant for the Managed File Transfer (MFT) market. The Magic Quadrant, and associated Gartner report, help companies evaluate MFT vendors based on their ability to execute, and completeness of vision. GlobalSCAPE also launched CuteSendIt�, a GlobalSCAPE-hosted Software as a Service (SaaS) solution that allows customers to easily send large files without using email attachments. CuteSendIt is available at www.cutesendit.com. Also in July, GlobalSCAPE released version 5.2 of the EFT Server, adding a module to support the Applicability Statement 2 (AS2) protocol. The AS2 module for EFT Server allows organizations to securely and reliably exchange Electronic Data Interchange messages with their trading partners. In August, GlobalSCAPE delivered the initial release of CuteFTP Lite�, adding an entry-level file transfer protocol (FTP) product to the GlobalSCAPE portfolio. CuteFTP Lite, developed from GlobalSCAPE�s CuteFTP� software code base, has a very simple user interface for customers who may not need the more advanced features of CuteFTP Home� and CuteFTP Pro�. In September, GlobalSCAPE made all versions of CuteFTP available in five additional languages (Spanish, German, French, Portuguese and Turkish). GlobalSCAPE also released version 3.5.2 of the Wide Area File Services (WAFS) product, adding support for 64-bit systems.
