2004 Business Outlook

The following statements are forward looking and actual results may differ materially. Our guidance assumes no change in the calculation of the Company's tax provision, which currently assumes a full valuation allowance against the Company's deferred tax assets. Currently, the Company only records a charge against income for certain state taxes and federal alternative minimum taxes. At the time that the valuation allowance is released the Company will report a significant income tax benefit in that period and for subsequent periods will record a tax provision against income at the effective statutory rates, however, the Company does not expect to incur To become subject to and liable for; to have liabilities imposed by act or operation of law.

Fourth Quarter 2004

The Company targets revenue to be in the range of $33.5 and $34.5 million, net income to be between $5.5 and $5.8 million and earnings per diluted share to be between $0.26 and $0.28.

Full year 2004

The Company targets revenue to be in the range of $104.5 and $105.5 million, net income to be between $16.1 and $16.5 million and earnings per diluted share to be between $0.80 and $0.82.

The above guidance includes the impact of the Datawest acquisition on our fourth quarter and full year results assuming that the transaction closes in late October.
