GVI Security Solutions, Inc. Reports Record Second Quarter Profits on Increased Revenues.

CARROLLTON, Texas -- GVI Security Solutions, Inc. (OTCBB: GVSS), a leading provider of video security solutions featuring the complete Samsung Electronics line of products, today reported record second quarter earnings for the quarter ended June 30, 2008.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2008, net income was approximately $366,000 or $0.01 per diluted share, an increase of over 18% as compared to net income of approximately $308,000, or one cent per diluted share, in the quarter ended June 30, 2007. Income before income taxes for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 rose over 89% to $594,000 from $327,000 in the quarter ended June 30, 2007.

"We are pleased to report our sixth consecutive profitable quarter, with earnings for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 up 18% from the prior year, and earnings for the first half of 2008 up nearly 50% from the prior year," said GVI Chairman/CEO Steven Walin. "Our six straight quarters of profits have provided a solid financial base to expand our sales and marketing efforts, and the 13% growth in revenue we saw in the quarter ended June 30, 2008 over the prior quarter ended March 31, 2008 demonstrates that our expanded sales efforts are beginning to deliver positive results."

On a six-month basis, net income for the first half of 2008 was approximately $695,000 an increase of 48% as compared to net income of approximately $469,000 in the first half of 2007. Income before income taxes for the first half of 2008 rose 130% to over $1.1 million from $492,000 in the first half of 2007.

"The strong sales and earnings results we delivered today illustrate our ability to successfully transition to an increased emphasis on growth while maintaining our focus on profitability," stated GVI COO/CFO Joe Restivo. "As we move forward with the previously announced marketing plan with our strategic partner, Samsung Electronics, we remain focused not just on growth, but on profitable growth."

Net revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 increased $544,000, an increase of 4% to approximately $12.8 million from under $12.3 million in the three months ended June 30, 2007. The increase in revenues reflects increased sales to distributors, integrators and installers.

Selling, General, and Administrative expenses overall increased approximately $211,000 or 9%, to approximately $3.0 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2008 from approximately $2.8 million in the three months ended June 30, 2007. General, and administrative expense declined from the prior year while sales and marketing expense increased primarily due to increases in sales and marketing activities.

Net interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2008 decreased 28% to approximately $187,000 from approximately $260,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2007. This decrease is primarily a result of the benefits of GVI's new credit facility with Wells Fargo.

"Net income of $695,000 for the first half of 2008 will help us reach our goal of further lowering interest expenses moving forward," added Joseph Restivo. "Should GVI achieve $1 million in net income for 2008, our current rate of prime plus .75% on our Wells Fargo credit facility will be reduced by 50 basis points to prime plus .25%."
