Enterprising Service Solutions Company

Overall, Enterprising Service Solutions revenue grew $4.7 million, or 17.8%, in the first quarter of 1996. Multivendor Service revenue increased $3.3 million, reflecting the acquisition of Harris Harris, Scotland: see Lewis and Harris.  Adacom Services in March 1995 and new customers added since then. This gain was partially offset by declining legacy business and the impact of the severe winter weather. As previously announced, the Company was awarded a three-year contract for approximately $25 million from Siemens Nixdorf See Fujitsu Siemens. . Revenues from this contract will begin in the second quarter.

Network Service revenue was up $1.3 million over last year's first quarter, also reflecting the Harris Adacom acquisition. Revenue growth has been slower than expected due to restricted expenditures in sales and market development. The Company continues to invest toward the long term potential of this business with milestone measurements in place to assess the progress achieved. In recent months, the Company has shifted its focus to selective indirect channels to achieve increased coverage in the marketplace.

Document Solutions Company

Document Solutions revenues during the first quarter of 1996 increased 1.6% from the same period last year. Printer sales declined 5.8%, however parts and supplies revenue increased 33.6% and 4.4%, respectively.
