(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20040226/GLOBALMEDLOGO) Global Med's record revenues of $4.09 million for the third quarter of 2007 represent an increase of $1.24 million or 43.4%, over the $2.85 million recorded for the comparable 2006 period. In the third quarter of 2007, gross profit margins improved to 71.4% from 66.3% during the comparable 2006 period. Operating income for the third quarter of 2007 increased to $547,000, versus $56,000, in the comparable 2006 period. The Company's net income for the third quarter of 2007 was $552,000, or $0.02 per basic common share outstanding, versus $60,000, or $0.00 per basic common share outstanding, in the comparable 2006 period. The third quarter's results marked the 13th consecutive quarter of comparable quarter-to-quarter revenue growth for the Company. Global Med's cash flows from operations for the third quarter of 2007 were $692,000, up from $496,000 recorded in the comparable 2006 period. Recurring annual maintenance revenues for the quarter were running at an annualized rate of over $6.9 million. Based on backlog as of September 30, 2007, the Company's annual recurring revenues, when all contracted customer sites are implemented, will be approximately $8.5 million. The Company's backlog of unrecognized software license fees and implementation fees was $6.0 million, up from $3.7 million as of September 30, 2006. As of September 30, 2007, the cash balance was $5.745 million, up from $2.554 million as of December 31, 2006. For the first nine months of 2007, Global Med's record revenues reached $11.78 million, up $3.10 million or 35.7% from $8.68 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006.

However, during 2006, the Company recognized approximately $724,000 in gains associated with certain features of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock until March 29, 2006, the date that such features were removed. Without these non-cash gains, net income in the first nine months of 2006 would have been $293,000. The Company believes it is important to deduct these non-cash gains in order to provide better comparability for the reader. The Company's cash flows from operations were a record $3.37 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, up from $1.01 million in the prior year's comparable period. Cash flows included the $1.004 million deposit in escrow that was returned to the Company in May 2007 as a result of an appellate court's reversal of a summary judgment. The Company also received an additional $80,000 in accrued interest as a result of the return of the deposit in escrow.
