The Company anticipates that the financial statements for the six months ended December 31, 2002 will show an operating loss of approximately $5,500,000 compared with an operating loss of approximately $4,200,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2001.

The primary reason for the increase in the operating loss for the six month period is increased depreciation and amortization charges of approximately $800,000 (most of which relates to amortization of capitalized software) and increased general and administrative expenses of approximately $500,000.
