Net income for the second quarter of 2008 was $279,625, or $.04 per share, a 16% increase over net income of $241,573, or $.04 per share, for the same period in 2007.

Jason K. Wadzinski, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, and President, remarked, "We continue to make progress in our strategy of targeting additional vertical markets for our high value solutions and services. The Merkur Group acquisition continues to contribute to revenue accounting for 29% of our total revenue so far this year."

"In the near future we will be announcing several new and updated products and services that we believe will be well received by our targeted markets," continued Mr. Wadzinski. "However in the short-term, we believe our results for the remainder of 2008 may fall short of our internal goals due to general economic issues as well as delayed decisions by our targeted customers."
