NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2008

1.    BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Basis of Consolidation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Global Med Technologies, Inc. and Subsidiary (the “Company” or “Global Med”) have been prepared by management in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of their financial position as of March 31, 2008 and the results of their operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 have been included.

While management believes the disclosures presented are adequate to prevent misleading information, it is suggested that the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2007, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The interim results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period of 2008 or for the year ending December 31, 2008.

Recent Development

On March 26, 2008, the Company signed a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) to acquire Inlog, SA, a French company, and its subsidiaries (“Inlog”) for a maximum of $11.5 million in a combination of cash, stock and earnout payments. Inlog, based in Lyon, France, is a leading European provider of donor center and transfusion information management systems as well as laboratory information systems and other ancillary medical software systems. Prior to closing, the Purchase Agreement requires that the buyer, Global Med, be able to obtain financing acceptable to the buyer, the seller, Inlog, deliver U.S. GAAP financials to the buyer, and the Company’s Board of Directors finalize the acquisition, at their sole discretion. None of these conditions precedent to closing have occurred. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain the financing necessary for this acquisition on terms acceptable to it or at all. In the event the acquisition occurs, the Company plans to finance this transaction through a combination of existing cash, new debt, and the issuance of additional equity to the owners of Inlog.

Inlog’s product line consists of five (5) primary products: EdgeBlood (for the donor center marketplace), EdgeTrace (for the hospital transfusion marketplace), EdgeLab (a LIS), EdgeCell (cellular therapy for tissue banks, stem cell centers and cord blood centers) and SAPA (supports regulatory compliance and document management). Inlog is ISO 9001:2000 certified and its products have received the NF/ISO 25051/12119 certification guaranteeing the highest level of quality regarding the design, testing and validation of its software, its documentation quality and the quality of its product support and maintenance.

Inlog has been developing, implementing, and supporting its blood bank information management solutions since 1992 and supplies over 700 sites in fifteen (15) countries with its products. Inlog recently completed the national installation of its EdgeBlood product in France. All 2.5 million French blood donations flow through Inlog’s products in France including blood collections, infectious disease testing, component manufacturing and distribution. In addition to France, Inlog provides its software applications in Germany, Austria, Belgium and Switzerland, as well as installations in Greece and Monaco.

In the event that the Company and Inlog finalize the aforementioned transaction, the Company’s software applications will have a presence in twenty (20) countries (including the United States, Canada, Caribbean, European Union, Africa, French Polynesia, and New Caledonia). The Company believes that the acquisition of Inlog is strategically important as Inlog’s existing international marketplace may provide a platform for the Company’s continued growth.

GLOBAL MED TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2008

Critical Accounting Policies

The Company's software products typically have warranties. These warranties generally require that the Company make changes to the software due to defects or other factors that might impact the Company's regulatory compliance after the date of product shipment. Generally, the Company does not accrue for product warranties but defers revenue recognition on a component of the original software fee that is associated with the correction of errors and continued updates to regulatory requirements during the warranty period. The Company believes this allocation adequately reflects the timing of revenues and costs associated with these warranties.

During the three months ended March 31, 2008, the Company increased its accounts receivable reserves by $18 thousand to $199 thousand. The Company believes that its reserve for accounts receivable is appropriate. The Company may make changes to its revenue recognition practices with respect to specific customers as its assessment of collectability changes. These changes are typically not material to the financial statements.

For those customer accounts for which revenue has been earned with the exception that collectability of the amount is not deemed reasonably assured, the Company recognizes revenues related to these accounts in the period cash is received.

Significant Customers

During the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, there were no customers accounting for more than 10% of revenues. Although the Company had no individual customers accounting for more than 10% of revenues, one of the Company’s marketing partners that sells the Company’s products directly to its customers accounted for 26.1% and 31.2% of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. In addition, this same marketing partner accounted for 29.5% and 56.3% of gross accounts receivable as of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively.

Income Taxes

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. A valuation allowance is required to the extent any deferred tax assets may not be realizable. While the Company has net operating loss (“NOLs”) carryforwards related to certain tax jurisdictions, the Company has limited or no NOLs in others.

Prior to the fourth quarter of 2007, the deferred tax asset related to the net operating loss carry forward was fully reserved by a valuation allowance due to the uncertainty of the Company generating future taxable income. During the fourth quarter of 2007, the Company reassessed its valuation allowance and decreased it by $740 thousand to reflect higher than anticipated net deferred tax asset utilization. As a result of this reassessment in the fourth quarter of 2007 and the reduction in the valuation allowance, the Company’s provision for income taxes increased significantly for the three months ended March 31, 2008 when compared with the comparable period in 2007.

Effective January 2007, the Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, or FIN 48. In accordance with FIN 48, the Company is required to disclose its practice related to recognizing interest and/or penalties related to tax positions taken with uncertainty. The Company records interest and penalties related to tax positions with uncertainty in income tax expense. The Company had no such interest or penalties for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of SFAS No. 157 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Pre-Acquisition Costs

As of March 31, 2008, the Company had capitalized $255 thousand of pre-acquisition costs related to Inlog. These costs are in the Company’s balance sheet in prepaid expenses and other assets. In the event that the acquisition is unsuccessful, the Company would be required to expense these costs. Expensing these costs could have a material impact on the Company’s operating results for that period. See the “Recent Developments” section of this note 1 for further discussion related to this potential acquisition.

In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157 (“FSP 157-2”), which delays the effective date of SFAS 157 for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities. Therefore, the Company has delayed application of SFAS 157 to its nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, which include assets and liabilities acquired in connection with a business combination, goodwill, intangible assets and asset retirement obligations recognized in connection with final capping, closure and post-closure landfill obligations, until January 1, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS 157 for nonfinancial assets and liabilities on the Company's financial position and results of operations.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. SFAS No. 159 permits companies to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. SFAS No. 159 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The adoption of SFAS No. 159 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (R), Business Combinations, and SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements. SFAS No. 141 (R) requires an acquirer to measure the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at their fair values on the acquisition date, with goodwill being the excess value over the net identifiable assets acquired. SFAS No. 160 clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. The calculation of earnings per share will continue to be based on income amounts attributable to the parent. SFAS No. 141 (R) and SFAS No. 160 are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. Early adoption is prohibited. The Company has not yet determined the effect on our consolidated financial statements, if any, upon adoption of SFAS No. 141 (R) or SFAS No. 160.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements - an Amendment of ARB No. 51 (“SFAS 160”), which establishes accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. SFAS No. 160 clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. SFAS No. 160 also requires consolidated net income to be reported at amounts that include the amounts attributable to both the parent and the noncontrolling interest. It also requires disclosure, on the face of the consolidated statement of income, of the amounts of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest. SFAS No. 160 also provides guidance when a subsidiary is deconsolidated and requires expanded disclosures in the consolidated financial statements that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent’s owners and the interests of the noncontrolling owners of a subsidiary. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this statement will have on its financial position and results of operations.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (“SFAS 161”), which amends and expands the disclosure requirements of FASB Statement No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (“SFAS 133”), with the intent to provide users of financial statements with an enhanced understanding of: (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments; (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS No. 133 and its related interpretations; and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows. SFAS 161 requires qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of and gains and losses on derivative instruments and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative instruments.

Reclassifications

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current period presentation.

2.    PEOPLEMED.COM, INC.

During 1999, Global Med formed a subsidiary, PeopleMed.com, Inc. (“PeopleMed”), a Colorado corporation, which is approximately 83% owned by the Company, to develop a software application designed to give HMO providers and other third party payers access to clinical information for chronic disease patients. This application allows doctors and other medical employees access to a patient's history. Late in 2007, PeopleMed began offering Validation Services. Validation Services include documenting and testing systems to enable the customer to conform their use of the software system to conform with regulations and requirements. The remaining 17% of PeopleMed is owned by third parties and certain officers and directors of Global Med. There is no minority interest reflected in the March 31, 2008 or December 31, 2007 balance sheets because PeopleMed had a stockholders’ deficit as of those dates.

3.    COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Legal Proceedings

In September 2002, Global Med filed a lawsuit against Donnie L. Jackson, Jr., Global Med’s former Vice President of Sales and Marketing. Global Med alleges, among other things, that prior to his resignation in July 2002 Mr. Jackson misappropriated certain trade secrets of Global Med. After leaving Global Med, Mr. Jackson became a management employee of one of Global Med’s competitors. On March 30, 2005, the Superior Court of the State of California in and for the County of El Dorado granted the motion for summary judgment for Donnie L. Jackson, Jr. On September 1, 2005, the Company deposited $1.004 million with the Superior Court in the State of California in the County of El Dorado. This deposit represented potential fees and attorneys’ costs the Company could be required to pay in the event the Company did not prevail on appeal. The $1.004 million is classified as a “Deposit in escrow” on the Company’s balance sheet as of December 31, 2006. Based on external evidence and the advice of legal counsel, the Company determined that it was more likely than not that the Company would be required to pay the $1.004 million. As a result, the Company expensed the amount of the “Deposit in escrow” and set up a liability for $1.004 million during 2005. In December 2006, the summary judgment was reversed by the California Court of Appeals and the matter was remanded to the trial court. In May 2007, the $1.004 million Deposit in escrow was returned to the Company along with $80 thousand in accrued interest. As of March 31, 2008, the Company reclassified the Deposit in escrow as a long-term liability based on the prevailing circumstances of the case. As of March 31, 2008, the Company has determined that the return of the deposit and other circumstances surrounding the case prohibit the Company from reversing the accrual of the $1.004 million under SFAS 5, “Accounting for Contingencies”. The Company intends to continually re-evaluate the facts and circumstances surrounding the case and the related accounting.

4.    STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

The Company adopted SFAS No. 123R, “Share Based Payment” (“SFAS 123R”), on January 1, 2006. SFAS 123R requires all share-based payments, including grants of stock options, to be recognized in the income statement as an operating expense, based on their fair values.

Prior to adoption of SFAS 123R, Global Med accounted for stock-based employee compensation under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB”). The Company has applied the modified prospective method in adopting SFAS 123R, and as a result, periods prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R have not been restated.

Under SFAS 123R forfeitures are estimated at the time of valuation and reduce expense ratably over the vesting period. This estimate is adjusted periodically based on the extent to which actual forfeitures differ, or are expected to differ, from the previous estimate. Under SFAS 123 and APB 25, the Company elected to account for forfeitures when awards were actually forfeited, at which time all previous pro forma expense was reversed to reduce pro forma expense for that period. As of March 31, 2008, the Company anticipates all outstanding options will vest.

6. NET INCOME PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted shares outstanding is calculated factoring in stock options, and warrants outstanding, and their equivalents are included in diluted computations through the “treasury stock method” unless they are antidilutive. Convertible securities are included in diluted computations through the “if converted” method unless they are antidilutive.

The following tables set forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, (in thousands):

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Forward Looking Statements

Certain statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB are forward-looking in nature. These statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “believes,” “expects,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “anticipates,” or negative comparable terminology or by discussion of strategy.

The risks and uncertainties are discussed in greater detail in the Company’s other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including, most recently, its Annual Report on Form 10-KSB. There may be additional risks of which the Company is not presently aware or that it currently believes are immaterial which could have an adverse impact its business. The Company makes no commitment to revise or update any forward-looking statement in order to reflect events or circumstances that may change.

Overview/Outlook

The Company posted record revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2008 of 4.593 million. In addition for the three months ended March 31, 2008, the Company posted operating income of $625 thousand and operating cash flows of $867 thousand.

Global Med designs, develops, markets and supports information management software products for blood banks, hospitals, centralized transfusion centers and other health care related facilities. Revenues are derived from the licensing of software, maintenance, the provision of consulting and other value added support services, and the resale of software obtained from vendors.

Global Med sells various core products and their related components through its Wyndgate division: SafeTrace®, SafeTrace Tx®, and its ElDorado™ product suite. SafeTrace is used to assist community blood centers, hospitals, plasma centers and outpatient clinics in the U.S. in complying with the quality and safety standards of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) for the collection and management of blood and blood products. SafeTrace Tx is a transfusion management information system that is designed to be used by hospitals and centralized transfusion centers to help insure the quality of blood transfused into patient-recipients. SafeTrace Tx provides electronic cross-matching capabilities to help insure blood compatibility with patient-recipients and tracks, inventories, bills and documents all activities with blood products from the time blood products are received in inventory to the time the blood products are used or returned to blood centers. SafeTrace Tx complements SafeTrace, because the combined SafeTrace Tx and SafeTrace software system is now able to integrate hospitals with blood centers and provide a “vein-to-vein”Ò tracking of the blood supply.

The Company plans to continue to commit significant research and development (“R&D”) resources to the development of its ElDorado suite of products. In May of 2007, the Company’s first module of ElDorado, Donor Doc™, received 510(k) clearance from the FDA. Donor Doc is an electronic history questionnaire that assists in the blood donor screening process. On February14, 2008, the Company received 510(k) clearance from the FDA for ElDorado Donor. ElDorado Donor is intended as a comprehensive blood management software application designed to provide for the information system needs of blood banks and donor centers. The software is designed to manage, automate, and control activities associated with donors, donor collections, testing, manufacturing, inventory, and distribution. ElDorado Donor was developed with scalability in mind and is designed to manage the system needs of diverse facilities, from small hospital blood banks to community blood centers, to regional and national centers, both domestically and internationally. The blood management software has been designed with guidance from the Company's technology workgroup, comprised of leading industry representatives from around the world. Throughout the ElDorado Donor development process, the work group's contributions assisted the Company in delivering a feature-rich and user-friendly solution.

SafeTrace, SafeTrace Tx, and ElDorado Donor and Donor Doc have been cleared by the FDA for sale in the United States. The Company’s development efforts are focused on developing new software products as well as continuously improving its existing products. The Company plans to continue to commit significant development resources to the development of its ElDorado product suite. Some of these additional products are considered medical devices by the FDA. The Company will be required to obtain FDA 510(k) clearance for these medical devices prior to their sale or introduction into the U.S. market.

In 1999, Global Med introduced PeopleMed. PeopleMed supports chronic disease management as an ASP. PeopleMed’s system uses the Internet to coordinate sources of information and users of a patient’s clinical information, including laboratory, pharmacy, primary and specialty care providers, claims, and medical records. PeopleMed began offering validation services to the blood bank industry late in 2007. Validation services include documenting and testing systems to enable the user of these systems to conform to specific requirements and regulations. In fall of 2007, PeopleMed’s services were expanded to include validation activities and offering of quality-certified resources to help clients and non-clients perform FDA-required user validation testing on blood bank software systems prior to Go-Live. In addition to Go-Live activities, PeopleMed also offers independent services for system revalidation for clients who are upgrading to newer versions and for clients modifying the setup of the software application to meet the May 2008 deadline to start using a new required label format for blood products called ISBT 128.

The decision to purchase a new blood bank system is driven in large part by one or all of the following: replacing antiquated technology, upgrading the laboratory information system (“LIS”) of the hospital, which typically includes the purchase of a blood bank system, and replacing existing products that have been sunsetted. The Company believes that because the purchase of an LIS by a hospital is a significant driver in the decision to purchase a blood bank system, the Company is heavily reliant on its relationships with its channel partners that sell their LIS systems in combination with the Company’s blood bank products.

Entities that plan to purchase blood bank products primarily have two choices:

Overall, Global Med’s revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2008 increased $874 thousand or 23.5% to $4.593 million from $3.719 million from the prior comparable period in 2007. Cost of revenues increased $419 thousand or 36.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2008 to $1.558 million from $1.139 million for the prior comparable period in 2007. For the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, operating expenses were $2.410 million and $2.284 million, and net income was $360 thousand and $287 thousand, respectively. The increase in net income was primarily attributable to the increase in revenues and partially offset by a substantial increase in the Company’s provision for income taxes.

For the three months ended March 31, 2008 operations provided $867 thousand in cash. For the comparable period in 2007, Global Med’s operations provided $504 thousand in cash. The Company believes that its cash flows from the sale of SafeTrace, SafeTrace Tx, and new products to customers and the current backlog of existing business will continue to be strong on an annual basis through the remainder of fiscal year 2008 and possibly thereafter. The Company believes its revenues and operating income will continue to grow in 2008 and possibly beyond.

The Company believes that its current customer base and projected backlog of business, as well as sales to new customers, will be sufficient to fund operations which include its planned software development activities, and likely will generate positive cash flows from operations and negative cash flows from investing activities through 2008, and possibly thereafter. The Company believes that based on its recurring revenues, current backlog, and its projected pipeline of business, it will be profitable during 2008 and possibly thereafter.

Management of the Company is focused on increasing its revenues and cash flows through direct sales efforts, increasing its marketing footprint through adding additional channel partners and strategic alliances, and developing new products and enhanced functionality to its existing product mix to attract potential customers. The Company is currently reviewing opportunistic business acquisitions.

On March 26, 2008, the Company signed a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) to acquire Inlog, SA, a French company, and its subsidiaries (“Inlog”) for a maximum of $11.5 million in a combination of cash, stock and earnout payments. Inlog, based in Lyon, France, is a leading European provider of donor center and transfusion information management systems as well as laboratory information systems and other ancillary medical software systems. Prior to closing, the Purchase Agreement requires that the buyer, Global Med, be able to obtain financing acceptable to the buyer, the seller, Inlog, deliver U.S. GAAP financials to the buyer, and the Company’s Board of Directors finalize the acquisition, at their sole discretion. None of these conditions precedent to closing have occurred. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain the financing necessary for this acquisition on terms acceptable to it or at all. The Company plans to finance this transaction through a combination of existing cash, new debt, and the issuance of additional equity to the owners of Inlog.

Table of Contents

Inlog’s product line consists of five (5) primary products: EdgeBlood (for the donor center marketplace), EdgeTrace (for the hospital transfusion marketplace), EdgeLab (a LIS), EdgeCell (cellular therapy for tissue banks, stem cell centers and cord blood centers) and SAPA (supports regulatory compliance and document management). Inlog is ISO 9001:2000 certified and its products have received the NF/ISO 25051/12119 certification guaranteeing the highest level of quality regarding the design, testing and validation of its software, its documentation quality and the quality of its product support and maintenance.

Inlog has been developing, implementing, and supporting its blood bank information management solutions since 1992 and supplies over 700 sites in fifteen (15) countries with its products. Inlog recently completed the national installation of its EdgeBlood product in France. All 2.5 million French blood donations flow through Inlog’s products in France including blood collections, infectious disease testing, component manufacturing and distribution. In addition to France, Inlog provides its software applications in Germany, Austria, Belgium and Switzerland, as well as installations in Greece and Monaco.

In the event that the Company and Inlog finalize the aforementioned transaction, the Company’s software applications will have a presence in twenty (20) countries (including the United States, Canada, Caribbean, European Union, Africa, French Polynesia, and New Caledonia). The Company believes that the acquisition of Inlog is strategically important as Inlog’s existing international marketplace may provide a platform for the Company’s continued growth.

The Company has been engaged in a legal action involving a former officer and employee. Refer to the Legal Proceedings section for further discussion.

As of March 31, 2008, the annual recurring maintenance revenues that will be generated once all of the Company’s current customers have implemented the software will be approximately $9.4 million. Significant future revenue growth for the Company is contingent upon continued new system sales and successful implementation of the Company’s software at existing and future sites. The Company believes it may continue to grow its revenue at double-digit rates for the remainder of the current year, and on an annual basis possibly thereafter.

The Company plans to continue to develop and submit additional ElDorado modules to the FDA.

Balance Sheet Changes

As of March 31, 2008 compared with December 31, 2007, certain balance sheet accounts changed substantially. Cash increased by $637 thousand from $6.748 million as of December 31, 2007 to $7.385 million as of March 31, 2008, primarily as a result of the increase in cash flows from operations. Net accounts receivable decreased $697 thousand, primarily as a result of the collection of certain accounts receivable balances that related to certain customers’ annual maintenance contracts that were billed during the fourth quarter of 2007 and collected during the three months ended March 31, 2008. Prepaid expenses and other current assets increased $213 thousand primarily as a result of capitalization of $255 thousand in pre-acquisition costs. Refer to note 1 “Pre-Acquisition Costs” for further discussion.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2008 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2007

Revenues.  Revenues are comprised primarily of license fees, maintenance and usage fees, and implementation and consulting services revenues.

- 18 -


Table of Contents

Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2008 increased by $874 thousand or 23.5% to $4.593 million from $3.719 million for the comparable period in 2007. The primary reasons for the increase were a $589 thousand in software license fees and a $309 thousand increase in maintenance fees.

The table below shows the percentage of our total reported revenues for the period. The maintenance, consulting services, and software license fees relate primarily to the Company’s SafeTrace and SafeTrace Tx software.

    2008     2007  
Maintenance    41.6 %    43.1 % 
Consulting services    18.7 %    25.4 % 
Software license fees    35.9 %    28.5 % 
PeopleMed    3.8 %    3.0 % 
 
Total Revenue    100 %    100 % 

Cost of revenue. Cost of revenue as a percentage of total revenues was 33.9% and 30.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Cost of revenues increased $419 thousand or 36.8% to $1.558 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 from $1.139 million for the comparable period in 2007. This increase was due primarily to a $292 thousand increase in labor-related costs and a $68 thousand increase in third party software costs which resulted in additional revenues to the Company.

Gross profit. Gross profit as a percentage of total revenue was 66.1% and 69.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Gross profit increased $455 thousand or 17.6% to $3.035 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 from $2.580 million for the comparable period in 2007. The increase in gross profit was primarily associated with the $874 thousand increase in revenues. The increase in gross profit resulted primarily from the increase in software license and maintenance revenues but was partially offset by higher labor costs associated with maintenance and implementation revenues.

General and administrative. General and administrative expenses increased $113 thousand or 14% to $919 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to $806 thousand for the comparable period in 2007. The primary reasons for the increase was a $104 thousand increase in employee-related labor charges, which were made up primarily of accrued bonuses and direct labor costs to be paid in the event the Company achieves certain minimum levels of pre-tax income for the year. The Company’s compensation committee is in the process of determining the criteria upon which the year-end bonus payouts will be based. Members of the management of the Company have estimated the current bonus payout in these financials based on the bonus payouts incorporated into the Company’s current budget for 2008 which has been approved by the Company’s Board of Directors of which three of its independent members are also on the Company’s Compensation Committee.

Sales and marketing. For the three months ended March 31, 2008, sales and marketing expenses increased $188 thousand or 36.4% to $704 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to $516 thousand for the comparable period in 2007. The increase in sales and marketing expenses is primarily associated with a combined $34 thousand increase in payroll expenses, a $129 thousand increase in commission expenses, primarily associated with higher sales activity for the quarter.

Research and development. Research and development expenses decreased $183 thousand or 19.8% to $741 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to $924 thousand for the comparable period in 2007. This decrease was primarily due to a $151 thousand decrease in payroll-related expenses, a $59 thousand increase in capitalized software development costs. These decreases were partially offset by a $59 thousand increase in travel expenses.

Depreciation and Software Amortization.   Depreciation and software amortization costs for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 were $46 thousand and $38 thousand, respectively.

Income from operations before other income (expense).   The Company's income from operations during the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 was $625 thousand and $296 thousand, respectively.

Interest income.   Interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 was $34 thousand and $16, respectively. The Company’s higher cash balances during the quarter resulted in the additional interest income.

Interest expense.   Interest expense was $4 thousand and $3 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 respectively.

Income taxes.   For the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company’s income tax expense was $295 thousand and $22 thousand, respectively. The substantial increase in the Company’s income tax expense was the result primarily of two factors: a significant increase in the Company’s taxable income as well as an increase in the Company’s effective tax rate. The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2008 when compared with the comparable period in 2007, increased significantly as a result of the reversal of a portion of the Company’s valuation allowance associated with the Company’s net operating loss carryforwards (“NOLs”) during the fourth quarter of 2007. In the event the Company continues to be profitable, the Company believes it may be able to continue to shield a significant portion of its taxable income from the payment of income taxes because of these NOLs. Because the Company is required to recognize its tax expense in accordance with US GAAP, this could result in a significant difference between the recognized tax expense and taxes the Company is required to pay.

Net income.   The Company’s net income for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was $360 thousand and $287 thousand for the same period in 2007.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $7.385 million as of March 31, 2008 compared to $6.748 million at December 31, 2007, none of which was restricted.

The Company had net working capital of $3.817 million as of March 31, 2008 and $3.445 million at December 31, 2007. The increase in working capital was primarily the result of the $839 thousand decrease in the accrued expenses and other current liabilities.

The Company had shareholders’ equity of $3.416 million and virtually no debt as of March 31, 2008. The Company believes that it will generate positive cash flows from operations through 2008, and possibly thereafter.

While the Company’s plans may change, the Company currently intends to spend between $600 thousand to $650 thousand during 2008 on capital equipment which may result in negative cash flows for investing activities. The Company’s cash flows from operations should be sufficient to meet its current cash requirements exclusive of acquisitions. The Company believes that based on its current backlog as well as projected pipeline of business, it will be able to achieve profitability for the year ended December 31, 2008 and possibly thereafter.

The acquisition of Inlog would require significant external financing in the form of additional debt or equity. There can be no assurance that the Company will obtain financing on terms favorable to the Company in the near term or at all.

The Company has not ever paid and has no intention of paying dividends to the common shareholders in the foreseeable future.

- 20 -


Table of Contents

Cash flows from operations provided $867 thousand in cash for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The cash provided during the three months ended March 31, 2008 consisted primarily of the net income of $360 thousand net of non-cash changes which provided $170 thousand, and changes in operating assets and liabilities which provided $337 thousand. The primary source of the Company’s operating cash inflows is its billings to customers for the sale of software, services, and maintenance and support. For the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company’s accounts receivable billings were approximately $4.4 million and $3.2 million, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company collected approximately $5.1 million and $4.2 million, respectively from accounts receivable. As a result of the cash collections from accounts receivable being significantly more than the billings, the Company’s gross accounts receivable balance decreased by approximately $679 thousand, while the cash balance increased by approximately $637 thousand. The Company’s cash outflows from operations were approximately $4.4 million and consisted primarily of three components, payroll, vendor-related expenses, and payment of $745 thousand in income taxes. Payroll related expenses typically range from 50%-60% of the Company’s cash outflows from operations with vendor payments typically making up the majority of the remaining amount. The Company believes that the cash flows from its recurring customer base, accounts receivable, backlog, and new system sales will provide for positive cash flows from operations on an annual basis in 2008 and possibly thereafter. Interest and non-operating cash flows are typically not material.

  Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s Principal Executive Officer and the Vice President of Finance, of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. The Company’s Principal Executive Officer and Vice President of Finance have concluded that the Company’s controls over financial reporting are in fact, effective at this reasonable assurance level as of the period covered. For the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, Ehrhardt Keefe Steiner & Hottman PC, will be required to attest to and report on management’s assessment. This quarterly report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal controls over financial reporting.

              Changes In Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

In connection with the evaluation of the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2007, the Company’s Principal Executive Officer and Vice President of Finance determined that there was one significant change to the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially effect, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting. This change related to a single control deficiency that was identified during the fourth quarter of 2007 related to the Company’s preparation of its income tax provision. Management believes that the additional controls it implemented during the three months ended March 31, 2008 related to the preparation of its income tax provision have removed the control deficiency, and its controls over financial reporting are now effective.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.    LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

In September 2002, Global Med filed a lawsuit against Donnie L. Jackson, Jr., Global Med’s former Vice President of Sales and Marketing. Global Med alleges, among other things, that prior to his resignation in July 2002 Mr. Jackson misappropriated certain trade secrets of Global Med. After leaving Global Med, Mr. Jackson became a management employee of one of Global Med’s competitors. On March 30, 2005, the Superior Court of the State of California in and for the County of El Dorado granted the motion for summary judgment for Donnie L. Jackson, Jr. On September 1, 2005, the Company deposited $1.004 million with the Superior Court in the State of California in the County of El Dorado. This deposit represents potential fees and attorneys’ costs the Company could be required to pay in the event the Company did not prevail on appeal. The $1.004 million is classified as a “Deposit in escrow” on the Company’s balance sheets as of December 31, 2006 and March 31, 2007. Based on external evidence and the advice of legal counsel, the Company determined that it was more likely than not that the Company would be required to pay the $1.004 million. As a result, the Company expensed the amount of the “Deposit in escrow” and set up a liability for $1.004 million. On December 2006, the summary judgment was reversed by the California Court of Appeals and the matter was remanded to the trial court.

ITEM 1A.  RISK FACTORS

For the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company’s operations generated positive cash flows from operating activities in the amount of $4.421 million and $1.224 million, respectively. The Company believes that its current customer base and projected backlog of business, as well as sales to new customers, will be sufficient to fund operations which include its planned software development activities, and likely will generate positive cash flows from operations and negative cash flows from investing activities through 2008, and possibly thereafter. The Company believes that based on its recurring revenues, current backlog, and its projected pipeline of business, it will be profitable during 2008 and possibly thereafter; but the Company’s projections may not occur as planned. In the event the Company’s projections do not occur as anticipated, the Company may not generate sufficient revenues to operate profitably in the future or generate sufficient operating cash flows to continue to expand its business or operate its business at current levels.

There is substantial competition in all aspects of the blood bank and hospital information management industry. Numerous companies are developing technologies and marketing products and services in the healthcare information management area. Many competitors in the blood bank industry have received FDA clearance for their products. Many of these competitors have been in business longer and have substantially greater personnel and financial resources than Global Med. Global Med believes it is able to compete based on the current technological capabilities of SafeTrace, SafeTrace Tx, and ElDorado Donor and Donor Doc.

Our success will also depend in part on our ability to develop commercially viable products without infringing the proprietary rights of others. We have not conducted freedom of use patent searches and patents may exist or could be filed which would have an adverse effect on our ability to market our products or maintain our competitive position with respect to our products.

Our future success will depend to a significant extent on the ability of our current and future management personnel to operate effectively, both independently and as a group. In order to compete successfully against current and future competitors, to timely complete research and development projects and to develop future products, we must continue to expand our operations, particularly in the areas of research and development, sales and marketing and training. If we experience significant growth in the future, such growth would likely place significant strain upon our management, operating and financial systems and other resources. In addition, the Company is currently reviewing opportunistic business acquisitions. Management of the Company is focused on increasing its revenues and cash flows through direct sales efforts, increasing its marketing footprint through adding additional channel partners and strategic alliances, and developing new products and enhanced functionality to its existing product mix to attract potential customers. In addition, acquisitions may present an opportunity to increase revenues. To accommodate such growth and compete effectively, we must continue to implement and improve our information systems, procedures and controls, and to expand, train, motivate and manage our work force. Any failure to implement and improve our operational, financial and management systems or to expand, train, motivate or manage our work force could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations, which could force us to reduce our planned expenditures which could negatively impact our business operations.

On March 26, 2008, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire Inlog, a private European medical software firm for a maximum of $11.5 million in a combination of cash, stock and earnout. Prior to closing, the Purchase Agreement requires that the buyer, Global Med, be able to obtain financing acceptable to the buyer, the seller, Inlog, deliver U.S. GAAP financials to the buyer, and the Company’s Board of Directors finalize the acquisition, at their sole discretion. None of these conditions precedent to closing have occurred. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain the financing necessary for this acquisition on terms acceptable to it or at all.
