conducted a webcast earnings call after market close yesterday to review

Management Discussion and Analysis on Fundamental Financial Performance and
PPS
In addition to the management discussion and analysis of the Company's SEC
Form 10Q filed for the period ended September 30, 2007, management reviewed
the Company's plan: to continue aggressive organic revenue growth by adding
to the existing customer base that includes clients such as Avon, Siemens
and Pepsi; to continue to reduce expenses through the elimination of
redundant overhead; to continue to improve net income through an increased
percentage of higher gross margin services; and to expand working capital
by increasing net assets at a faster pace than operationally incurred
liabilities.
Management further discussed the Company's price per share (PPS)
performance to include a review of seasonal lows in November increasing to
seasonal highs in March. The PPS discussion centered on management's
intent focus on continued fundamental financial performance and confidence
that operational value would be conveyed in a future PPS.
