Since RealEC Technologies was founded in May 2000, Micro General has owned 6.5 M shares of non-voting convertible preferred stock, which assuming conversion into common shares, would represent a 47 percent ownership in RealEC Technologies. Other owners of convertible preferred stock include Stewart Information Services (22 percent ownership) and Land America Financial Group (22 percent ownership). Micro General has purchased 1.3 M shares of RealEC common stock currently issued and outstanding, which represents 100 percent of the outstanding common stock, and represents a diluted ownership of nine percent. Micro General has issued 153,893 additional shares of restricted common stock to purchase this additional ownership. Combined with its convertible preferred share position, Micro General now owns 56 percent of RealEC Technologies. As a result of this purchase, Micro General will begin to consolidate RealEC Technologies results with its results of operations in the fourth quarter, 2001. In the 2001 fourth quarter, RealEC is expected to contribute an estimated $900,000 in additional consolidated revenue and contribute an operating loss of less than $200,000. RealEC Technologies is experiencing rapid growth and the Company expects RealEC Technologies will contribute substantial revenue and profits in 2002 and future years. "This transaction is a key component of our strategic positioning as we move into 2002," said Micro General CEO John Snedegar. "Serving six of the top ten mortgage originators in the country and adding new lenders and service providers at a very aggressive pace during the past six months have positioned RealEC's e-business solutions as the #1 B2B electronic exchange in the end-to-end electronic mortgage transaction arena," he said. -more- MICRO GENERAL ANNOUNCES REALEC COMMON STOCK PURCHASE -- PAGE 2 OF 2 "RealEC is very pleased with the broad opportunities that Micro General ownership provides, along with Stewart Title and Land America," said RealEC president, Jeff Sanderson. "These three owners are also strategic partners that continually provide RealEC with new growth opportunities," he said. RealEC is designed to facilitate the origination, servicing, and closing of real estate transactions and to enable real estate practitioners to significantly enhance their businesses. The RealEC Exchange is an intelligent routing process that offers traditional transaction capability and provides a standardized connectivity and data transport functionality for originators and vendors involved in the transaction.
