Steven M. Besbeck, President and CEO, stated, "CCA's results of operations for our first fiscal quarter, while anticipated, were primarily indicative of the product transition related to our new CyberLAB(R) 7.0 laboratory information system. CCA experienced a delay in the release of CyberLAB 7.0 due to the need to complete HIPAA-related upgrades to our existing products and deliver them to our clients. Such delays impacted sales of CyberLAB 7.0 and our ability to deliver the new product. As of December 31, 2003, CyberLAB 7.0 was live in two beta sites and one additional new site was being implemented. We are now ready to deliver CyberLAB 7.0 and have begun to market it."
