Total second quarter 2005 revenues were $13.3 million, representing a 115% growth over second quarter 2004 revenue of $6.2 million. On a non-GAAP basis, excluding certain charges as described below, net income was $4.0 million, or $0.33 per share on a diluted basis. This represents an improvement of approximately $2.7 million over Q2 2004’s non-GAAP net income of $1.3 million, an increase of 207%. On a GAAP basis, net income was $3.2 million, or $0.27 per share, an improvement of approximately $2.0 million over the second quarter of 2004’s net income of $1.2 million, an increase of 173%. The Company`s second quarter results represent its eighth consecutive profitable quarter, with a non-GAAP pre-tax profit margin of 30% in the second quarter. GAAP pre-tax margins were 24% in the second quarter.

The Company`s cash and cash equivalents were $11.8 million as of June 30, 2005 compared to $11.9 million at the end of the first quarter. Cash flows from operations in the quarter were a net use of $1.1 million. This amount includes $1.8 million of cash outlay in the second quarter related to the liabilities assumed in the Company`s acquisition of Optum, Xelus and certain assets of ChannelWave. These acquisitions also resulted in a net increase in intangible assets and goodwill totaling $4.4 million for the second quarter. Accounts receivable increased from the first quarter by $3.6 million to $15.8 million. Deferred revenue was $12.0 million as of June 30, 2005, an increase of $2.7 million. The increases in accounts receivable and deferred revenue were primarily due to the acquisition of Xelus on May 27, 2005.

In addition to the Xelus acquisition in the second quarter, the Company secured new contracts, renewals and/or upgrades from 215 companies in the aerospace and defense, automotive, consumer product goods, retail, financial services, healthcare, high-tech and manufacturing industries.
