This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and
Section 21E of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. "Forward looking statements" are those statements that describe management's beliefs and expectations about the future. We have identified forward-looking statements by using words such as "anticipate," "believe," "could," "estimate," "may," "expect," and "intend." Although we believe these expectations are reasonable, our operations involve a number of risks and uncertainties, including those described in the "Risk Factors" section of our 2011 Form 10-K and other documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. GlobalSCAPE's actual results could differ materially from those discussed in any forward-looking statements included in this Quarterly Report.

Overview

We provide secure information exchange capabilities for consumers and enterprises through the development and distribution of software, delivery of managed and hosted solutions, and provision of associated services. Since our organization in 1996, we have evolved from a company focused primarily on personal file transfer products, sold over the Internet, to a solution provider deriving over 90 percent of our revenue from sales to small and medium business, or SMB, and enterprise customers worldwide. Today, we have thousands of enterprise customers and more than one million individual consumers in over 150 countries. In particular, our solutions are used by more than 30,000 U.S. Army soldiers deployed worldwide.

Historically, we have operated primarily in the Managed File Transfer, or MFT, industry, with the majority of our revenue derived from sales of on-premises software licenses and associated maintenance and support contracts. Beginning in 2009, we began an evolution from an 'MFT company' into adjacent solution spaces applicable to what we refer to as Total Path Security. The Total Path Security framework addresses data and information security in motion (for example, with traditional MFT solutions delivered as on-premises software or as a cloud service) and at rest (for example, with endpoint security solutions such as appShield). Our solution portfolio facilitates delivery of critical information such as financial data, medical records, customer files and other similar documents while supporting a range of information protection approaches to meet privacy and other security requirements.

Most recently, in December 2011, we announced the acquisition of TappIn, Inc. TappIn provides technology that allows users to access their digital files and media such as pictures, documents, videos and music stored on a computer using a web-browser, tablet or mobile smartphone (including Apple iPhone and iPad, Google Android and Windows Phone 7) without having to upload, organize and sync files between devices or pay for additional cloud storage. We also continue to plan for our entry into the antivirus segment of the endpoint security market through development of appShield, a software application control (or "whitelisting") product.

Our evolution from an 'MFT Company' into adjacent solution spaces reflects ongoing, fundamental changes in how consumers and businesses access and exchange information. For example, there has been an exponential increase in Internet-enabled mobile devices such as smartphones and tablet computers. This evolution, in turn, has driven a movement toward 'Bring Your Own Device', or BYOD, an operating model in which business users increasingly are using their mobile devices to access and exchange employer information while also using those same devices for personal applications. The continued growth of cloud-based services is another fundamental market driver as individual consumers and businesses become increasingly comfortable with these services for at least some personal and business applications.

As we consider key market drivers in aggregate, we believe there is a current and growing market opportunity for providing on-premises, cloud-based, and mobile access to personal and business information while addressing the security and compliance issues that are important considerations for our customers as they access and exchange such information. While on-premises solutions will remain an important part of our portfolio for the foreseeable future, we believe increasing demand for secure content mobility and adoption of cloud-based solutions are long-term trends that increasingly will shape the market outlook and demand for our solutions.

As a corporation, we have won multiple awards for performance and reputation, including:

• In 2012, the San Antonio Business Journal named us one of San Antonio's fast track companies for revenue growth.

• In 2011, Computerworld named GlobalSCAPE on its list of "100 Best Places to Work in IT" for the second year in a row.

• In 2011, we were named one of the top 50 companies in the San Antonio Express-News Top Workplaces and one of the "Best Places to Work" by the San Antonio Business Journal, with both awards received for the third year in a row.

• In 2011, Texas Monthly named GlobalSCAPE one of the best companies to work for in Texas for the second year in a row.

Key Business Metrics

As described in our Annual Report Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, which we refer to as the 2011 Form 10-K, we review a number of key business metrics on an ongoing basis to help us monitor our performance and to identify material trends which may affect our business. The measures that we believe are the primary indicators of our performance are:

• Revenue growth

• Recurring revenue growth

• Aggregate contract value growth

• Adjusted EBITDA

Revenue Growth

Since 1996, we have transitioned from a consumer products company (mostly focused on CuteFTP) to an enterprise solutions provider with growing revenue contribution from cloud-based solutions and professional services. We have grown revenue consistently throughout this transition such that our enterprise solutions sales have grown from less than 50% of our revenue as recently as 2005 to now comprising the bulk of our sales with our CuteFTP consumer products accounting for less than 5% of revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012. We believe our ability to sustain revenue growth while continuing our business transformation is the most significant metric for our business.

Although we often have grown revenue sequentially quarter over quarter in recent years, we view annual revenue growth as the more important metric, especially considering the ongoing evolution of our solution portfolio. We believe annual "core" revenue growth, excluding very large, exceptional deals, is a key metric for monitoring our continued success in developing our business in future periods. Given our diverse solution portfolio, and especially with the addition of subscription services, we review our revenue mix and changes in revenue, across all solutions, on a regular basis to identify key trends and adjust resource allocations.

We believe attaining additional traction in the cloud-based managed solutions and secure content mobility and market segments, realizing the potential of new software solutions, and our ability to continue developing and enhancing our existing software solutions are significant factors in our continued ability to sustain or possibly increase our revenue growth in future years.

The impact of cloud-based managed solutions on prior revenue growth trends depends on several key factors, including the number of customers who may shift from software licenses to subscription services, and the rate at which they may do so, the subscription term and fees, and the comparative value of the opportunity had it materialized as a software license sale instead of as a subscription service. Generally, for a fixed number of opportunities (that is, without considering the possibility that a new service offering may result in additional sales opportunities), addition of subscription services reduces revenue growth rates for several quarters for the associated solutions until cumulative subscription revenue increases and, potentially, surpasses comparable software license revenue. The revenue impacts are particularly pronounced early in the introduction of subscription services because there has been only a short time period for accumulation of the recurring revenue stream.

Similarly, we believe market adoption of secure content mobility solutions, such as those provided by TappIn, will increase in future periods as use of personal computing devices, such as smart phones and tablets, continues to grow exponentially and as businesses increasingly embrace BYOD operating models.

As detailed below in the discussion of our results of operations, revenue was substantially flat for the three months ended June 30, 2012, compared to the same period in 2011 and grew by approximately 7% for the six months ended June 30, 2012 relative to the comparable period in 2011. Our software license revenue decreased approximately 11% in the second quarter of 2012 relative to the second quarter of 2011 while increasing approximately 1% for the first six months of 2012 compared to the first six months of 2011. We attribute the relative flatness of our software license revenue trends in recent periods to the previously described transitional effects associated with introduction of our cloud-based managed solutions, continuing attainment of market traction for our software solutions such as Mail Express, and the maturity of certain of our other software solutions, such as CuteFTP. Future new releases of mature solutions like CuteFTP and EFT Server, including optional modules, may provide opportunities to positively influence trends in this area. As described below under Recurring Revenue Growth, M&S and managed solutions revenue grew substantially in the first six months of 2012 as compared to the same period of 2011. M&S revenue currently is the largest contributor to our total revenue growth which we believe reflects continued customer reliance on, and satisfaction with, our solutions.

Recurring Revenue Growth.

Recurring revenue includes revenue recognized from our M&S contracts, managed and hosted solutions, and other subscription services such as TappIn byGlobalSCAPE. Maintenance and support contracts for our products are sold for fixed periods of time and are typically for one year with some agreements having longer terms. We recognize revenue from these contracts on a monthly basis over the life of the contract. Managed and hosted solutions, such as MIX and Hosted EFT Server, are sold as one, two, or three-year subscriptions with the services invoiced and revenue recognized on a monthly basis. TappIn subscriptions typically are sold for one-year terms with the revenue recognized on a monthly basis.

Recurring revenue provides a more predictable revenue stream in future periods which we believe is highly valued by institutional investors and other market participants. We review recurring revenue trends periodically to determine the progress of our M&S and cloud solution sales and customer satisfaction with our ongoing solution development and support activities. We also assess how aggregate contract value (see further discussion below) will factor into possible recurring revenue in future periods.

Recurring revenue continued to grow during the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 as compared to the comparable periods in 2011. As stated in our 2011 Form 10-K, an increase in deferred revenue indicates both growth in our installed base and satisfaction with our products and our maintenance and support services. At June 30, 2012, deferred revenue was $8.0 million, an increase of$1.0 million, or approximately14%, over the balance at June 30, 2011 of $7.0 million. Sales of our cloud-based managed solutions continued to grow during the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, reaching more than $1.0 million in total contracted services since the launch of this line of business in the second half of 2010 with more than 35% of the total sales since inception occurring during the six months ended June 30, 2012. These sales increasingly will factor into additional recurring revenue in future periods.

Aggregate Contract Value Growth.

Aggregate contract value (or "ACV") is a measure of future revenue potential we have in place under non-cancellable contracts for product sales, maintenance and support, managed solutions, and professional services for which we will recognize revenue in future periods. ACV is the sum of:

• Deferred revenue resulting from payments we have already received for services to be provided in the future.

• Amounts we are due to be paid under non-cancellable contracts for future services we will provide under those contracts.

We have grown ACV from $7.8 million at June 30, 2011 to $8.8 million at June 30, 2012, due to sales success in numerous areas of our business. While we expect ACV may grow in future periods as we potentially continue to increase our volume of non-cancellable contracts for future delivery of our various products and services, it could also decrease for a number of reasons including existing customers electing not to renew their maintenance and support contracts or a large professional services contract, such the one we have with McLane Advanced Technologies, not being renewed for additional terms as provided in certain of those contracts.

ACV is not a measure of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP") and should not be considered a substitute for deferred revenue. Management uses this metric to assess the effectiveness of sales and business development activities and how that effectiveness will factor into future revenue. We have maintained increased visibility into ACV in recent years because with the addition of subscription services and increased sales of professional services, we believe sales growth may significantly outpace revenue growth in the near term. ACV, together with recurring revenue and deferred revenue trends, provides greater insight into how bookings will factor into revenue over specific periods. ACV reconciles to deferred revenue as follows:

                                                                         June 30,
                                                                    2012          2011
                                                                        (thousands)
Deferred revenue (payments received in advance for future
services we will provide)                                          $ 8,035       $ 6,997
Amounts to be received in the future as we provide services
under non-cancellable contracts                                        783           850

Total ACV                                                          $ 8,818       $ 7,847

The new contract with the U.S. Army described in the Overview section above contributed $1.35 million to our ACV in July 2012.

Adjusted EBITDA

Management utilizes Adjusted EBITDA or Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Total Other Income (Expense), Depreciation, and Amortization (including amortized stock-based compensation expense) to measure the profitability of the Company's core operating activities. We monitor and review cost of revenues, selling, general, and administrative ("SG&A") expenses and research and development ("R&D") expenses to assess conformance with established budget expectations and to identify specific variances. Identifying and, if necessary, addressing variances above budget is important for the very clear purpose of staying within budget ceilings. However, even variances below budget may indicate imbalances in resource allocations or deviation of operating activities from established expectations. We have increased SG&A expenses in recent years, primarily to enhance our executive team and make other investments necessary to grow our business. Similarly, we have increased our R&D investments to provide a continuing basis for specifying and developing new solutions like our recently announced cloud-based offerings and appShield.

Adjusted EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2012, was $658,000, a decrease of approximately $1 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2011. This decrease was primarily the result of increased operating expenses associated with the TappIn acquisition. Our Adjusted EBITDA may increase in the second half of 2012 as we achieve additional market traction with the TappIn solution and as our total revenue potentially continues to increase.

Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered a substitute for net income. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool and when assessing our operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income or other income statement data prepared in accordance with GAAP. We compute Adjusted EBITDA as follows (in thousands):

                                                          Three Months                Six Months

Solution Perspective and Trends

The following is a brief description of our solutions and associated business trends.

Managed File Transfer Solutions (On Premises)

Our MFT solutions allow customers to move large files (even multi-terabyte in size) and large numbers of files securely. We also facilitate management, monitoring, and reporting on the file transfers and deliver advanced workflow capabilities to move data and information into and throughout an enterprise.

Our MFT solutions are best known for the CuteFTP product line. They primarily consist of products that help users securely move and copy files on the Internet. FTP, along with more secure protocols such as SFTP, FTP/S, and HTTP/S, requires a client program to start a transfer and a server program to accept the connection. Our MFT product line includes CuteFTP Pro, CuteFTP Home, CuteFTP Lite, CuteFTP Mac, and the Enhanced File Transfer Server solution suite.

A substantial portion of our revenues is derived from licensing our file management products, especially Enhanced File Transfer Server. We have continued to develop new versions of Enhanced File Transfer Server that, for example, deliver additional security and visibility features, along with improved workflow tools. Other recent enhancements in Enhanced File Transfer Server include two-factor authentication, enhanced visibility and monitoring of file transfers passing through the server, IPv6 and common access card support, and additional security enhancements.

Globalscape Managed File Transfer Solutions (Cloud-based)

Through partner infrastructure arrangements, such as our partner arrangement with Rackspace Hosting, Inc., we deliver cloud-based MFT solutions for the secure exchange of business-to-business data including large files and sensitive data. These subscription-based solutions include hosted and fully-managed offerings tailored for the SMB market and large enterprises. Our Managed Information Xchange, or MIX, service is a Globalscape-managed solution for companies seeking complete support for the contracted services. The tiered service, delivered through Rackspace's infrastructure, allows customers to outsource all or part of their complex and demanding information exchange needs to reduce costs, improve operational efficiencies, track and audit transactions, and provide a greater level of security. Available solution tiers range from trial and proof-of-concept implementations to enterprise-scale managed services.

In 2011, we also released our Hosted Enhanced File Transfer Service which expands our cloud-based solution portfolio by integrating a hosted version of our market-leading Enhanced File Transfer Server solution with infrastructure from Rackspace. This scalable and tiered service is structured for the SMB market. It allows customers of all sizes to outsource all or part of their secure information exchange needs at affordable price points. The Hosted EFT Server Service offering delivers these capabilities and benefits while allowing direct customer management of the Enhanced File Transfer Server solution (as contrasted with the fully managed MIX service). Since launching these services, we have extended our hosting partner relationships to facilitate entry into additional geographies, including Canada and the United Kingdom.

In April 2012, during the Infosecurity Europe conference in London, we announced a partnering with Peer 1 Hosting to meet growing European demand for the Hosted EFT Server solution. In connection with this arrangement to provide the cloud infrastructure in the region, we also named Pro2col Ltd. as a primary managed file transfer reseller and Sigma Software Distribution as primary distributor of the Company's suite of secure file exchange solutions in the U.K.

In June 2012, InfoTech Research Group's Managed File Transfer Vendor Landscape report ranked Globalscape as a "Champion" in the managed file transfer market. The report recognized Globalscape products for their extensive feature set, advanced security attributes, flexible deployment options, pricing strategy, and customer support effectiveness. InfoTech Research Group has over 25,000 members worldwide to whom it provides information technology research and analysis.

Wide-Area File Services and Continuous Data Protection Solutions

Our Wide Area File Services, or WAFS, software is a true wide area file solution that enables accelerated collaboration across multiple sites while reducing network bandwidth requirements. With WAFS software, customers can implement instant file-sharing and server-to-server mirroring across multiple sites with full coherency at near-LAN access speeds. Continuous, real-time, multi-directional acceleration and mirroring technology ensures that data exists in multiple places simultaneously and in complete synchronization no matter where a change in any file is made. The data is mirrored between servers on the LAN, virtual private network, or across firewalls in real time, with full support for file locking ensuring coherency. Our WAFS product ensures bandwidth-efficient WAN utilization and that users have access to the most recent data.

WAFS technology can have our Continuous Data Protection, or CDP, product added to it to provide enterprises with a file access and data protection combination that centralizes data storage and IT administration facilities without compromising data sharing and protection. As files change, file servers backup in real time to the customer's backup site which can be at the same or a remote location. The backup server can keep any number of past versions of each file (and deleted files) which gives the customer immediate restoration capability as well as the ability to perform point-in-time snapshots. We released Version 4 of our WAFS software in 2011. This latest version of WAFS features improved support for current Windows operating systems, a redesigned and intuitive user interface and compatibility for Unicode character sets which are encountered more frequently in international sales opportunities. WAFS now also includes Local Sync, a new feature that allows users to rapidly synchronize data while also simplifying implementation.

In April 2012, WAFS was named a finalist in the Network Products Guide 2012 Best Products and Services Awards in the "Social Media, Networking or Collaboration Solutions" category. These awards highlight the best products and services, roadmaps, industry directions, technology advancements, and independent product evaluations of the year

Managed E-mail Attachment Solution

Our managed e-mail attachment solution, Mail Express, addresses the needs of businesses that prefer to use their legacy e-mail infrastructure to deliver and manage e-mail attachments. E-mail traditionally has been ill-suited for delivery of certain attachments due to typical infrastructure and administrator-defined limitations on e-mail attachment size. In many cases, these limitations preclude sending or receiving e-mail attachments larger than even 10 or 20 MB. The Mail Express solution is a software add-in (also sometimes referred to as a plug-in) compatible with Microsoft Outlook. The add-in transparently redirects e-mail attachments, up to 25 GB in size, for delivery in accordance with administrator-defined policies. Mail Express also supports communication through the Globalscape DMZ Gateway™. The DMZ Gateway support allows customers to implement Mail Express behind a DMZ firewall which provides an added layer of protection for data storage and retrieval, user authentication and firewall traversal.

The latest version of Mail Express also includes an internal web portal. The portal provides full Mail Express functionality via a standard web browser to users of Microsoft Outlook as their primary mail client. The portal also allows approved partners to send large files back to Mail Express users ensuring the files and data remain secure at all times. Other key features of the latest version of Mail Express include support for Microsoft Outlook and Exchange 2010, improved performance and optimization when interacting with anti-virus software, and increased capacity and number of users per Mail Express server. These features support the growing demands of larger enterprises.

Mail Express awards and recognitions include:

• In March 2012, Info Security Products Guide recognized Mail Express as the winner of the 2012 Global Excellence Award in the Email Management and Security category. The 2012 Global Excellence Awards attracted entries from all over the world with more than 50 judges from a broad spectrum of industries determining the winners.

• In April 2012, Mail Express was named a finalist in the Network Products Guide 2012 Best Products and Services Awards in the "Email, Security, and Management" category.

Endpoint Security Solution

In 2011, we announced ongoing development of appShield, a consumer endpoint . . .
