"We are pleased with the progress we saw in the business in Q2," stated T. Kendall Hunt, Chairman & CEO. "Not only did we report a record level of revenues for a quarter, but we also increased our deferred revenues and saw a strong order flow throughout the quarter. The current order flow reinforces our belief that our growth rates over 2007 will accelerate in the second half of the year. We are, however, reducing our revenue guidance for two primary reasons. One is to more fully consider the impact of our business strategies where a larger portion of our business activity relates to recurring software revenue, which may be deferred and recognized in future periods. The second is to reflect a more conservative outlook for the full year given the uncertainty of the world economies." "We are continuing to make investments in our infrastructure and continuing our aggressive hiring plan," said Jan Valcke, VASCO's President and COO. "Our business mix is evolving favorably, as expressed by the increase in gross margins. It is our goal to accelerate our growth in enterprise security and other non-traditional markets while strengthening our position in the banking sector." Cliff Bown, Executive Vice President and CFO added, "The continued strong operating performance has allowed us to both invest strongly in the business and strengthen our balance sheet. While our net cash balance decreased $5.7 million or 12% during the quarter, our working capital increased $7.8 million or 13% from March 31, 2008. Days Sales Outstanding (DSO) in net accounts receivable increased to approximately 83 days at June 30, 2008 from 67 days and 76 days at March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively."

EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure within the meaning of applicable U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission rules and regulations. We use EBITDA as a measure of performance, a simplified tool for use in communicating our performance to investors and analysts and for comparisons to other companies within our industry. As a performance measure, we believe that EBITDA presents a view of our operating results that is most closely related to serving our customers. By excluding interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization we are able to evaluate performance without considering decisions that, in most cases, are not directly related to meeting our customers' requirements and were either made in prior periods (e.g., depreciation and amortization), or deal with the structure or financing of the business (e.g., interest) or reflect the application of regulations that are outside of the control of our management team (e.g., taxes). Similarly, we find that the comparison of our results to those of our competitors is facilitated when we do not need to consider the impact of those items on our competitors' results.
EBITDA should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, other measures of financial performance reported in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. While we believe that EBITDA, as defined above, is useful within the context described above, it is in fact incomplete and not a measure that should be used to evaluate our full performance or our prospects. Such an evaluation needs to consider all of the complexities associated with our business including, but not limited to, how past actions are affecting current results and how they may affect future results, how we have chosen to finance the business and how regulations and the other aforementioned items affect the final amounts that are or will be available to shareholders as a return on their investment. Net income determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP is the most complete measure available today to evaluate all elements of our performance. Similarly, our Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, which will be filed as part of our annual report on Form 10-K, provides the full accounting for how we have decided to use resources provided to us from our customers, lenders and shareholders.
