GARDEN CITY, N.Y.--([ BUSINESS WIRE ])--Proginet Corporation (OTCBB: PRGF), a leading developer of enterprise software for advanced managed file transfer and security applications, today announced results for the second quarter of FY 2008, which ended January 31, 2008. Total revenues for the quarter amounted to $1,944,000, compared to $2,648,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 2007. Total operating expenses amounted to $2,458,000, compared to $2,223,000 in the equivalent period last year.

"We missed our numbers this quarter," said Kevin M. Kelly, Proginet's President and CEO, "and it's disappointing. Unfortunately, several important deals have proceeded more slowly than we would have liked. This wasn't entirely unexpected, but we had hoped we'd be able to accelerate the sales process in a number of cases. This proved difficult in the end."

"Demand for Proginet's managed file transfer solutions, particularly in the B2B context, remains strong, and will continue to be driven by key factors such as security, regulatory concerns, and a growing need to connect globally with customers and business partners," continued Mr. Kelly. "We will continue to follow the long-term business plan and to invest in our key corporate initiatives, which include sales, product development, marketing, and strategic alliances. Alliances, in particular, are expected to help drive the growth of the Company. We signed agreements with two new alliance partners in the second quarter and will announce several more in the coming weeks. These alliance partners tend to be quite specialized and are expected to help Proginet penetrate markets in which success has been limited. Government, in particular, comes to mind," he concluded.

Proginet expects to file Form 10-QSB for the quarter ending January 31 with the SEC on or about March 1, 2008, after the quarterly review by its independent auditors has been completed. The form will also be available on Proginet's Web site and at [ www.sec.gov ].

The Company has also announced a Special Meeting of Shareholders to be held on April 8, 2008. A key agenda item for this meeting will be to increase shares available under the Company's Stock Option Plan. The Company will announce more details about the Special Meeting of Shareholders in the coming weeks.
