QUESTION AND ANSWER SECTION
Operator: Yes, sir. [Operator Instructions] Your first question comes from Jon Hickman of MBD
(sic) [MDB] Capital.
<A Michael Willoughby>: Hello, Jon.
<Q Jon Hickman>: Hi. Can you hear me?
<A Thomas Madden>: Yes, we can.
<Q Jon Hickman>: Okay. Can you explain I mean, I appreciate the analysis of the or the
thought process behind the reverse split, but why the 4.7? Why that number?
<A Thomas Madden>: We took a look at our share count outstanding and its about 46.5
million shares, and so conversion at 1-for-4.7 gives us about 10 million shares outstanding. In
addition, when we took a look at the share price as it was trading last week, it was trading at
about $0.85. You convert that into 4.7 amount and it gets you about $4 a share, which we felt was
an appropriate price to utilize.
<Q Jon Hickman>: Okay. So youre not worried about illiquidity in the stock with only 10
million shares outstanding?
<A Thomas Madden>: Weve taken a look at it and we believe that if we can properly
communicate the story, continue to drive the financial performance that we have and that weve got
targeted, that well be able to address that.
<Q Jon Hickman>: Okay. And then could you just do me one more favor? Could you go through
this one client thats restructuring? I understand that because the assets are fully depreciated,
youre not going to be able to pass through those costs, so thats not going to hit your revenue
line. Is that the story?
<A Thomas Madden>: Yes. Theres the client arrangement that we talked about last
conference call where the structure was being modified this year where because of some of the
capital asset charges that we had previously in the business that were being amortized over the
initial term of the contract, those are no longer repeating on a go-forward basis in conjunction
with resigning the contract or renewing the contract this year.
<Q Jon Hickman>: Okay, and then one last question and this might be for Mike. Can you kind
of review that big-box retailer and exactly what youre doing for them? I missed some of those
comments I think.
<A Michael Willoughby>: I can. So the services were providing for the big-box retailer
had to do with supporting their online business in our call center. So were taking calls around
ease of use and sort of transactional questions from the online store. Where is my order, whats
the order status, questions around orders having to do with the online store. And this is a
business as weve indicated the past couple of quarters, that has grown pretty significantly. And
were also pretty excited about the opportunities to expand that business as we continue to perform
really well for this client and have the levels of customer satisfaction that we do with the
client. So its a great opportunity for us and hopefully an expanding opportunity over the coming
years.
<Q Jon Hickman>: Any chance of us finding out who what big-box retailer is in the future?
<A Michael Willoughby>: Theres always a chance. Its one of those things with clients,
particularly large ones. We have to work with them and their internal legal function and PR firms
