Those still involved, if any, may want to listen to the CC. The tone is significantly different and there is now management, IMO.

``StarTeam Elite, introduced in the third quarter, enabled us to close three enterprise orders in excess of $1 million each in the quarter,'' stated Jim Harrer, president and COO of Starbase.

``StarTeam Elite combines increased control over the development process with the power of requirements management, via our CaliberRM solution. These orders are the best validation we can offer to investors who question if we can compete in this highly competitive market.''

``We will continue to focus on operational efficiency at every single level of the company,'' added Harrer.

``We are also focused on improving our top line growth, across all of our product lines. By cross selling to our 3,700 customers who have approximately 70,000 seats of StarTeam, CaliberRM, eXpressroom and approximately 40,000 seats of CodeWright, the Starbase brand will continue to become the standard within the development and product management community worldwide.

``Our customers consist of some of the best-known companies in the world -- we believe if we take care of our customers and focus on our operational costs, we can improve our overall financial performance.''

Continued Harrer: ``We are committed to building shareholder value, we plan to achieve this goal by focusing our attention on the company's fundamentals for the long term. We win each sale one at a time, we perform professional services one day at a time and we are rebuilding the company one step at a time. We are focused on the long-term health of the company, not a short-term temporary fix.''

``Starbase's focus on the enterprise market, the strength of our existing customer base, product development and our increasing professional services delivery will play a large part in our execution strategy in the current quarter,'' added Harrer. ``As the incoming president, I am heartened at the strengths we have to build on -- the people, the products and the vision.''
