Jack Rhian, AMAC's Chief Executive Officer and President, commented: "AMAC's management team's strategy for the remainder of 2007 is to capitalize on the significant developments in its PERS business and work on operational efficiencies in its fast growing TBCS segment. With respect to the Company's HSMS division, management continues to prepare to execute on the recently announced national rollout of the Walgreen's sponsored PERS program. This program, if successful, has the potential to materially increase the Company's overall PERS subscriber base and bring unprecedented exposure of the Company's portfolio of healthcare communications products and services. While we recognize that this program will require certain short term investment in marketing support and personnel, we are confident the investment will substantially enhance AMAC's asset value. In addition to this new Walgreen's sponsored direct to consumer program, management is also pursuing other internally driven, traditional business to business marketing efforts. Concurrently, the TBCS division is focused on increasing top line revenue through internally driven marketing initiatives including our "Daytime Services" and "PhoneScreen" offerings. Simultaneously, we are focused on working to decrease the cost of labor which is the single largest component of this division's cost structure. We are encouraged by the progress of our business plan during the first quarter of 2007, and our ability to conduct these activities while improving upon our top line growth and bottom line profitability."
