    Second Quarter Fiscal 2010 financial and operational highlights include:

    >>

    <<
    --  GAAP Revenues                        $15.2 million
    --  Operating Income                     $0.9 million
    --  Net Income                           $1.1 million
    --  Net Income per Share                 $0.01
    --  Total Bookings                       $13.6 million

    >>

"We continued to generate solid revenue growth and improved profitability," said Jim Johnson, president and CEO, BakBone. "Our GAAP results were driven by continued strong sales performance in Asia and Europe and new revenue contributions from ColdSpark as well as operational cost efficiencies in the second quarter of this fiscal year."

"The bookings related to our acquisitions are growing. In mid-June, we launched the NetVault: FASTRecover(TM) solutions, our new disk-based, real-time data protection products for Microsoft Exchange, SQL Server and Windows file systems based on Asempra's technology. We have received good customer interest in the new products and expect them to be meaningful contributors to future financial results."

"ColdSpark continues to expand its capabilities in enterprise messaging and infrastructure. In October, we released new versions of the ColdSpark SparkEngine(TM), Compliance Catalyst and MailFusion products that expand policy management and workflow integration for enterprise message management. We continue to aggressively pursue additional customers in the financial services, healthcare and other regulated industries that will benefit from the more powerful corporate compliance features offered by the ColdSpark solutions. Our relationship with the large healthcare client that we announced in August is going well and we are implementing the ColdSpark product throughout its system. We are optimistic about our prospects for additional new customers in the vertical markets we are targeting," Johnson continued.

As planned, in mid-October BakBone introduced the newest version of the Company's flagship product NetVault®: Backup and new disk-based backup and deduplication options with NetVault: SmartDisk. NetVault: SmartDisk is based on BakBone's Open Data Protection Platform, which will offer more affordable, long-term disk-based storage to customers, with features such as data deduplication.

"BakBone is continuing to execute on its growth strategy - introducing proprietary, innovative software solutions, expanding its markets and driving revenue. We are pleased with our momentum and remain optimistic about the outlook for continued financial progress this fiscal year. Recognizing that the ColdSpark business is based on large orders with somewhat unpredictable timing, we continue to expect total bookings for fiscal 2010 in the range of $62 to $64 million," Johnson concluded.

    Financial Results
    >>

Total revenue grew 12% to $15.2 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2010 from $13.6 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2009. Operating income totaled $0.9 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2010 compared with an operating loss of $2.0 million in the second quarter of the prior fiscal year. The increase in operating income in the second quarter ended September 30, 2009, was the result of higher revenue and a significant reduction in general and administrative costs primarily associated with accounting and auditing fees incurred in the prior fiscal year.

The Company reported net income of $1.1 million, or $0.01 per share, in the second quarter compared with a net loss of $1.9 million, or ($0.03) per share, in the second quarter last year.

    (1) As discussed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
    ended March 31, 2009, the Company restated its consolidated financial
    statements for each of the first three quarters in fiscal 2009, in
    accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, Considering the Effect
    of Prior Year Misstatements When Quantifying Misstatements in the Current
    Year Financial Statements, to correct errors in such consolidated
    financial statements that would have had a material effect on the
    financial statements for the three and twelve months ended March 31, 2009
    if not corrected. The Company does not believe that these adjustments are
    material to any of the restated periods.

    (2)  We define bookings as the gross dollars invoiced through the sale of
    software licenses, maintenance contracts and professional services. We
    utilize bookings information as an operations measure, but it is not
    intended to replace U.S. GAAP accounting. Under the ratable revenue
    recognition method, license bookings are recognized as revenue over the
    appropriate period (generally three to five years). In general, variations
    in revenues period-over-period are affected by the amortization of current
    and prior period license bookings. Accordingly, we believe that trends in
    current and historical bookings are key factors in analyzing our operating
    results.
