As announced on September 8, 2003, SEDONA's common stock began to trade under the temporary symbol SDNAE because its Form 10-Q for the six months ended June 30, 2003 was filed without review by independent accountants due the resignation of the Company's accounting firm. Subsequently, the Company has engaged the firm of McGladrey & Pullen, LLP, a member firm of RSM International.

The Company is now in compliance with the filing and eligibility requirements and effective Tuesday, October 7, 2003 the trading symbol for SEDONA Corporation will revert back to SDNA.
