John Heyman, the Company's chief executive officer said, "We are very pleased with the continued success of our products in the marketplace, as indicated by another record revenue quarter. The value delivered by our products combined with the strong execution of our people and channel partners have been key drivers of our growth." Heyman added, "We continue to see strong demand across our segments. Our pipeline is growing, our customer base is diverse and our products are delivering strong returns for our customers. Additionally, we have seen good progress with the integration and the financial contribution of both MenuLink and Synchronics. The execution of our strategy has resulted in a very successful year thus far and demonstrates the momentum we have built toward a successful 2007." "We are very pleased with the progression of our overall financial model," said Mark Haidet, the Company's chief financial officer. "We continue to execute well on increasing our operating leverage while we invest in long-term growth initiatives." Haidet continued, "Based on our results in the quarter, as well as our strong pipeline and visibility into the business, we are updating our guidance for 2006. In addition, we are providing an initial revenue range of $245 million to $260 million for 2007. We expect to grow adjusted operating income by 25% to 30% and adjusted earnings per share by 10% to 20% over 2006. We expect our cash tax rate to increase to approximately 25% for 2007." The Company's updated guidance is as follows: Revenue Range Adjusted Earnings (millions) (non-GAAP) / Share Range - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Quarter ending December 31, 2006 $57-$59 $.15 - $.17 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Year ending Dec. 31, 2006 - previous $213 -$218 $.50 - $.55 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Year ending Dec. 31, 2006 - updated $218 -$220 $.53 - $.55 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Commencing in the first quarter of 2006, the Company implemented the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R ("FAS 123R"). FAS 123R requires companies to expense the fair value of grants made under stock option programs over the vesting period of the options. This share-based compensation expense is a non-cash expense. The Company utilized the "Modified Prospective Application" transition method to adopt FAS 123R, which did not require retroactive restatement of previously issued financial statements. In its press releases, the Company reports its net income and earnings per share during fiscal year 2006 on both Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") (which includes the share-based compensation charge, which represents the non-cash stock option expense) and non-GAAP (which excludes the share-based compensation charge) bases in order to facilitate analysis of the business and meaningful period-to-period comparison. On October 6, 2005 the Company completed its acquisition of MenuLink Computer Solutions, Inc. ("MenuLink"). All MenuLink operations are included in the Company's 2005 financial statements as of the date of the acquisition. On January 3, 2006, the Company completed the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Synchronics, Inc. ("Synchronics"). All Synchronics operations are included in the Company's 2006 financial statements as of the date of the acquisition. The Company provides adjusted net income and adjusted net income per share in this press release as additional information relating to the Company's operating results. The measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for GAAP and may be different from adjusted net income and adjusted net income per share measures used by other companies. Net income has been adjusted to exclude amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, non-recurring items, the impact of changes in the valuation allowance against deferred tax assets and compensation expense related to the issuance of employee stock options. The Company believes that this non-GAAP presentation provides useful information to investors regarding certain additional financial and business trends relating to the Company's financial condition and results of operations, and valuable insight into the Company's ongoing operations and earnings power.

Investors are cautioned that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the Company's ability to control. Actual results may differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors.
