    JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Aug. 6 /EMWNews/ -- Global Axcess Corp

(OTC Bulletin Board: GAXC) (the "Company"), an independent provider of ATM

solutions, today announced the financial results for the second quarter

ended June 30, 2008.



    The Company reported revenues from continuing operations of

approximately $5.8 million for the second quarter ended June 30, 2008, up

from the reported revenues of approximately $5.6 million for the same

period of 2007. The increase in revenue was mainly due to an increase in

surcharge/convenience fees on selected ATMs beginning in the first quarter

of 2008. This represented an increase of approximately 4.4% over the second

quarter of 2007.



    The Company recorded net income for the second quarter ended June 30,

2008 of approximately $450,300, or 2 cents per share, which compares to net

income of $170,900 or 1 cent per share for the same period of 2007. Second

quarter 2007 net income included $100,000 of bad debt recovery income

relating to a settlement of a lawsuit. Excluding the $100,000 bad debt

recovery income in the second quarter 2007, net income would have increased

$379,400 or 535% over the second quarter of 2007.



    The Company achieved gross profit from continuing operations of

approximately $2.6 million or 44.3% of revenue for the three-month period

ended June 30, 2008. This compared to $2.3 million or 41.6% of revenue for

the same period of 2007, or an increase in gross profit dollars of 11.1%

over second quarter of 2007. The increase in gross profit and gross profit

percentage was mainly due to an increase in surcharge/convenience fees on

selected ATMs beginning in the first quarter of 2008 and lower cash costs

due to lower interest rates. Second quarter 2008 gross profit represented

the highest quarterly gross profit dollars in the Company's history,

surpassing the previous high in the first quarter of 2008.



    SG&A expenses were approximately $1.3 million, or 22.4% of revenue for

the second quarter 2008 versus nearly $1.4 million, or 24.5% of revenue for

the same period in 2007.



    Depreciation and amortization expenses increased by approximately

$11,300 to $570,100 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2008 as

compared to $558,800 for the same period in 2007.



    During the second quarter of 2008, the Company recorded net interest

expense of approximately $216,700. This is compared to net interest expense

of approximately $290,900 for the same period in 2007. The decrease was

mainly due to a decrease in debt balances. Included in the second quarter

2008 net interest expense was $38,400 of non-cash income relating to the

interest swap agreement the Company entered into with its senior lender in

October 2005.



    The Company's EBITDA (earnings before net interest, taxes, depreciation

and amortization) increased to $1,237,100 for the second quarter of 2008

from $1,020,600 for the second quarter of 2007. Excluding the $100,000

income from recovery of bad debts in the second quarter of 2007, EBITDA

would have increased $316,500 or 34.4% over the same period in 2007.



    EBITDA per share for the second quarter of 2008 was 6 cents compared to

EBITDA per share of 5 cents for the second quarter of 2007.



    The Company's EBITDA before stock compensation expenses increased to

$1,279,500 for the second quarter of 2008 from $1,025,900 for the second

quarter of 2007.



    EBITDA represents a non-GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles)

financial measure. A table reconciling this measure to the appropriate GAAP

measure is included in this release.



    Michael J. Loiacono, Chief Financial Officer of the Company, stated, "I

am happy to report that we followed a strong first quarter with an even

stronger second quarter. Our second quarter results surpassed our internal

expectations."



    Mr. George McQuain, Chief Executive Officer of the Company, stated,

"Our second quarter results have reinforced our ability to perform well in

an unstable economy. Our record setting performance is a tribute to our

recent turn-around strategies and the way we have positioned the new

company to succeed. I remain proud of our employees for their efforts in

making the second quarter a record setting quarter for us."
