our  overall  business  mix, particularly Integrated  Marketing's
Reser   Corporation   subsidiary,   an   Atlanta,   Georgia-based
reservations  center  that services wholesale  travel  companies.
Additionally, we foresee opportunities to market packaged  casino
vacations offered by Integrated Marketing to the more than 20,000
people  employed by Business Travel's corporate clients.  We  are
now  working  to complete additional transactions  in  the  weeks
ahead   that  are  designed  to  further  enhance  our   vertical
integration  and  expand  our growth in the  travel  and  leisure
industry.   Overall,  our  acquisition strategy  is  centered  on
companies that compliment the business mix expected to develop as
a  result  of  the  pending  merger of  Aviation  Industries  and
Integrated Marketing Professionals."
