Revenue growth was somewhat offset by the deconversion of 23 banks during the prior year, the majority of which were acquired and moved to the acquirer's processing system. These banks accounted for approximately $1,070,000 in revenues in the first quarter of last year compared with revenues of $939,000 generated in the first quarter of this year from banks added since the first quarter of last year. Net income for the first quarter advanced to $1,077,000, or $0.49 per diluted di·lute tr.v. di·lut·ed, di·lut·ing, di·lutes 1.

At this point, most banks' systems have been reviewed by regulators to test for Year 2000 compliance, and a change to a new system would require re-testing and much scrutiny by regulators. Although this will affect near-term prospects for bank conversions, we believe it will create pent-up demand that will result in increased conversion activity after the first of the year. "Interest in CSI services from de novo [Latin, Anew.] A second time; afresh.
