"We are extremely pleased with our sales results for the year 2004 and we are very proud of the job our entire team has done this year.

These actions, coupled with an improving economic landscape, give us confidence looking forward to 2005. We enter the new year well positioned to realize our very focused corporate mission to increase our revenues, control our expenses, continue our march to profitability, increase shareholders' value and achieve our third consecutive best year in our history," added McGuire.
