DRIVEpm and is marketed to certain publishers from the Digital
Marketing Services segment, where it was developed, to the Digital
Marketing Technologies segment, where it is now integrated into the
Atlas DMT business unit. Results shown reflect that change for both
the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2004 and 2003.

small portion of that technology revenue in the results of the Digital
