EBITDA for the second quarter increased to $1.1 million, compared with $38,000 for the second quarter of last year. Strong fiscal discipline and the performance of our two acquisitions are contributing to our improved results." Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2003, was $23.1 million, compared with $20.2 million for the same period in 2002, an increase of 15%. The Company reported net income of $550,000, or $0.02 per share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2003, compared with a net loss of $200,000, or $0.01 per share, for the same period last year.

In closing, Mr. Buncher added, "The Company is well positioned in its markets. Recent transactions, including the Paramount and Ameritas acquisitions, as well as the pending acquisition of HealthNet's dental and vision subsidiaries, give the Company new products and additional avenues to sell existing products. The integration of the two completed acquisitions is essentially finished, giving the Company increased enrollment and annual revenues. In addition, the Company is benefiting from its recent strategic marketing agreements, including agreements with HumanaDental for the distribution of SafeGuard's dental HMO products to HumanaDental's employer groups in Texas and Florida. In short, we are fulfilling our goal of becoming a stronger competitor in the managed dental and vision businesses by focusing and concentrating our resources on a manageable number of high potential markets."
