Cytiva Achieves 30% Revenue Growth for First Six Months of 2008

Vancouver, British Columbia CANADA, August 21, 2008 /FSC/ - Cytiva Software Inc. (CRX - TSX Venture, CRXFF - OTCBB_Pink_Sheets), a leading provider of on-demand talent management software solutions, announced today unaudited results from the quarter ended June 30, 2008.  

Deferred revenue balance grew 48 percent over the first six months in 2008 from $1,727,101 to $2,555,714.  In Cytiva's subscription based Software as a Service business model, deferred revenue represents revenues collected from clients that will be recognized over the next 12 months.

Second quarter recognized revenue increased 25 percent to $1,603,248 compared with $1,279,235 for the same period in 2007. For the three-month period, the company had a net loss of $616,157 (three cents per share), compared with a net loss of $219,942 (one cent per share) for the same period in 2007. The increase in net loss is attributed to increased headcount to service the rapidly growing client base, amortization of customer lists related to the acquisition of one45 software and amortization of development costs for Cytiva's new SonicPerform product.

Net cash provided by operations was $102,186 for the three month period 2008 compared to $114,564 - Q2 2007.   Net cash from operations for the first six months 2008 was $247,290 compared to $145,250 in 2007.Because of its Software as a Service model where expenses are immediate, while revenue is deferred, Cytiva believes cash flow from operations, growth in deferred revenue and increasing sales figures are key indicators of the long term health of the business than profits.

In addition, Cytiva reported over $1,300,000 in new contracted business for the period, a 67-per-cent increase over the same period last year. In addition to new contracted sales, Cytiva achieved 100 per cent renewal revenue.  Revenue from new contracted business will be deferred and recognized over the life of the contracts on a monthly basis. Of the new contracted business, 39 percent will be recognized over the next 12 months with the remaining 61 percent being recognized over the subsequent 24 to 36 months.

"The fact that we are making large investments in acquisitions and new products, while increasing our deferred revenue, cash flow from operations and sales, shows we are prudently and successfully executing our rapid growth strategy," said Jason Moreau, CEO of Cytiva Software. "The combination of continued demand, expansion of our product line and our Software as a Service revenue model has allowed Cytiva to continue strong growth in the face of uncertain economic times."
