SAN DIEGO–(EMWNews)–BakBone Software, Incorporated (Pink Sheets:BKBO), a global provider of

heterogeneous integrated data protection solutions, reported today its

worldwide bookings(a) and cash position for its first quarter of fiscal

year 2009.

For the first quarter of fiscal year 2009 ended June 30, 2008, total

worldwide bookings were $14.2 million from the sale of software licenses

and maintenance contracts. This represents a decrease of approximately

21 percent from bookings of $18 million as reported for the fourth

quarter of fiscal year 2008 and approximately a seven percent increase

from $13.3 million for the first quarter in fiscal year 2008.

BakBone’s total cash balance as of June 30, 2008 was $10 million as

compared to $10.1 million as of March 31, 2008.

“Although BakBone experienced a sequential

downturn in bookings growth due to typical seasonality, the Company

passed several important milestones during the first quarter of fiscal

2009. We completed six major new products and product updates,

stepped-up marketing and advertising, and developed a significantly

improved channel partner program,” said Jim

Johnson, chief executive officer, BakBone. “Our

finance and accounting team worked non-stop to bring the filing of our

form 10K for fiscal years 2004, 2005 and 2006 to completion. This is an

important step toward becoming a current filer with the SEC.”

(a) Bookings, a non GAAP metric, represent the total value of contracts

signed or orders received during the period. The revenue associated with

bookings will be recognized in accordance with BakBone’s

revenue recognition practices.
