AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 21, 2001

BGI, Inc. (OTCBB:BGII) today issued revised guidance for its fiscal 2001 fourth quarter, ending December 31, 2001.

The Company anticipates Q4 revenues to reach approximately $2.4 million, with Earnings per Basic Share (EPS) on target for $0.10. This revised outlook is moderately higher than BGI's previously issued guidance for the fourth quarter, which was announced during the Company's November 15th conference call. Previous guidance for Q4 was $2.1 million in revenues and $0.10 per share.

"Building on the remarkable progress we achieved during the first three quarters of 2001, our operations continue to produce strong revenue growth and profitability," said President and CEO of BGI, Mr. Ed Reckdenwald. "Suffice it to say, we continue to execute our plan to aggressively expand our installation base. I look forward to commenting on these results in much more detail in February, when we release our fourth quarter and year-end 2001 results."
