Garden City, N.Y. — February 23, 2010 —Proginet Corporation [OTCBB: PRGF.OB], a world leader in multi-platform file transfer solutions, today announced unaudited financial results for the second quarter of fiscal 2010, which ended January 31, 2010. Total revenues for the quarter were $2,480,200 compared to total revenues of $1,979,739 in the equivalent period of fiscal 2009. Proginet reports operating expenses for the quarter to be $2,310,466, a reduction of $165,361 compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2009.
“As I stated in Proginet’s announcement on February 8th, we are pleased to be announcing our third consecutive profitable quarter,” stated Sandy Weil, Proginet’s President and CEO. “Our efforts to optimize company resources have yielded improvements in our overall performance, with revenues for the second quarter up approximately 25% over the equivalent period last year, and expenses managed down to a more acceptable level. What we’re seeing overall, we believe, is a level of consistency upon which to grow Proginet.”
“We are also pleased with the size and nature of some of the contracts we closed in the second quarter. These deals were competitive with some larger software companies in our industry and were decisive wins for us. Furthermore, we were able to accelerate the signing of one of these agreements as a direct result of our December acquisition of the RocketStream software assets. We will continue to seek additional opportunities in which RocketStream can help us differentiate Proginet’s enterprise products while broadening our value proposition with prospects and existing customers,” he concluded.
Steve Flynn, Proginet’s COO added, “Our efforts over the past year are paying off as we’re seeing a consistent improvement in the operation of our business. We have implemented operational metrics and reporting processes that have improved our customer technical support services, optimization of personnel assignments, and billing and collection processes. We have delivered significant new product capabilities at lower cost and will continue to work on a number of critical initiatives that will improve our overall success in the market.”
