For fiscal 2008, net income was $1.7 million, compared to a net loss of $2.0 million in the previous fiscal year.

Commenting on the results, William L. Yde III, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President of Global Traffic Network, said, "This was a monumental year for us as we continued to expand operations in our existing Australian and Canadian markets, began broadcasting traffic reports in the United Kingdom and achieved profitability on a yearly basis for the first time as a public company.”

Mr. Yde continued, "We continue to see increased demand for our advertising spots in Australia and Canada which has led to growing revenue streams in these markets. Since our entry into these two markets, we have bolstered our presence and have expanded our product offerings. The positive reception that our expanded products have received in these two regions has given us confidence that we have a unique and effective business model that allows for strong growth in the future.”

"While our established businesses in Australia and Canada have continued to grow at impressive rates, we are also very excited about opportunities presented by our newer business endeavors. On July 1, 2008, we began to provide service under the Traffic Radio contract with the United Kingdom’s Highways Agency. We expect that the significant revenue stream the contract provides will fund much of the infrastructure we require to operate our traditional advertising-supported radio traffic business in that market. In addition, we continue to work on our contemplated acquisition of UBC Media Group plc’s commercial division, which has numerous traffic, news and entertainment news affiliates throughout the United Kingdom.” Mr. Yde also commented on continued development of the Company’s traffic alerting mobile phone application through its Mobile Traffic Network subsidiary, stating that "We have begun limited testing of our application and the response thus far has been positive. We anticipate that the technology will allow us an opportunity to tap into the United States market without having to compete in the crowded radio traffic network space and believe the technology will have applications in our existing markets in the future as well. Based on the size of the United Kingdom market and the potential market for traffic related mobile phone applications, we believe that these new business opportunities can have a significant impact on our future revenue and take us to a new level of growth.”

SUPPLEMENTAL DISCLOSURES REGARDING NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Global Traffic Network, Inc. defines Adjusted Operating Income (Loss) as net operating income (loss) adjusted to exclude depreciation and amortization expense. The Company uses Adjusted Operating Income (Loss), among other things, to evaluate its operating performance. The Company believes the presentation of this measure is relevant and useful for investors because it helps improve their ability to understand the Company’s operating performance and makes it easier to compare the Company’s results with other companies that have different financing and capital structures or tax rates. In addition, the Company believes this measure is among the measures used by investors, analysts and peers in the media industry for purposes of evaluation and comparing its operating performance to other companies.

Adjusted Operating Income (Loss) is not a measure of performance calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP”) and it should not be considered in isolation of, or as a substitute for, net operating income (loss) as an indicator of operating performance. Because Adjusted Operating Income (Loss) excludes certain financial information compared with net operating income (loss), the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, users of this financial information should consider the types of events and transactions which are excluded. In addition, Adjusted Operating Income (Loss) may not be comparable to measures of adjusted operating income, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), adjusted EBITDA, operating cash flow or similarly titled measures employed by other companies. Adjusted Operating Income (Loss) is not necessarily a measure of the Company’s ability to fund its cash needs.

The following presents the reconciliation of net operating income (loss) to Adjusted Operating Income (Loss) for the three and twelve month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007.
