OUTLOOK

The Company's future operations remain dependent upon its ability to: 1) raise additional funds; 2) realize transaction revenues from existing customer relationships; and 3) secure new customer relationships that provide the Company with adequate funds to cover expenditures projected for the balance of 2012 and 2013 (or a combination of the foregoing). In recent years, the Corporation has relied upon external debt financing to provide it with the working capital required to support ongoing operations.

Michael Durance, CEO of the Company, remarked, "The deferral of approximately $5 million of debt which was scheduled to mature in 2012 and 2013 has significantly improved our working capital position. This improvement, coupled with new operating savings through the consolidation of our acquisitions, have positioned the Company for much more efficient deployment of capital in a very robust and fast growing market place."
