--Increased activity from secure e-messaging customers and the accelerated ramp of e-prescribing deployments enabled the ZixData Center(TM) to process over 291 million transactions in the second quarter, an increase of 14 percent when compared with 255 million transactions in the first quarter of 2005. e-Prescribing transactions (electronic scripts) increased to more than 610,000, for a 20 percent increase over first quarter levels.

Financial Highlights for the Quarter

Revenues: Revenues in second quarter 2005 were $3.45 million. Although essentially flat with those reported in the first quarter 2005, the company sold its Inspector product line on March 11, 2005, and when normalized to remove Inspector revenue in prior periods, second quarter revenue increased by $1.0 million over the prior-year quarter and by $494,000 over the first quarter.

The normalized 17 percent quarter-on-quarter increase and the 41 percent year-on-year increase are mostly attributed to growth in the eSecure subscription base. Second quarter revenue exceeded company guidance of $3.0 to 3.3 million, due primarily to sales of eSecure solutions early in the quarter that led to increased in-quarter revenue recognition from new orders, and several key systems installations of the Dr. Chart(R) product.

Costs: In the second quarter, ZixCorp's operating costs operating costs nplgastos mpl operacionales  totaled $11.6 million (excluding infrequent in·fre·quent

 gains or losses and interest income or expense), compared with $13.4 million in both the second quarter 2004 and the first quarter of 2005. The $1.8 million decrease reflects various cost-cutting initiatives undertaken by the company in late 2004 and early 2005, as well as the sale of the Inspector product lines.

Cash Utilization: The company's cash and marketable securities balance (both restricted and non-restricted) declined by $5.8 million, from $23.9 million at the end of the first quarter 2005 to $18.1 million at the end of the second quarter. This was higher than the company's previous guidance of $17.3 to $17.5 million. Net cash used by operating activities totaled $5.8 million, compared with $7.4 million in the first quarter of 2005. In the second quarter, the company collected a total of $5.1 million in cash receipts (excluding a $500,000 scheduled payment from Cyberguard associated with the Inspector sale), compared with $4.1 million in cash collected during the first quarter. The cash receipts increase of $1.0 million resulted from a $1.7 million increase in eSecure business due to strong new order input, earlier in-quarter sales, and strong renewals from existing customers. The gains in eSecure were partially offset by a decline of $500,000 in cash receipts resulting from the sale of the Inspector product line late in the first quarter. Net cash outlays Outlays
