OVERVIEW The Company provides integration solutions to enable its customers to engage in Internet-based electronic commerce and extend their businesses through the emerging network supply chain. The Company's MarketStream software applications and Web time-driven professional services are designed to enable corporations to build open, multi-vendor e-business solutions that help them to compete effectively in the digital economy using best-of-breed technologies. The Company utilizes innovative methodologies and advanced technical expertise to conceptualize, design, develop and deploy e-business solutions. This process is facilitated by the use of emerging Internet technologies. This business strategy allows the Company to leverage its core competencies and deliver to its customers effective applications and consulting services solutions. The Company historically designed, developed, marketed and supported application software for Internet-based interactive commerce. In October 1998, the Company announced a shift in business direction and focus, to providing Internet systems and systems integration services based on technologies from both the Company and industry partners. These combined applications, services and intellectual property strategy is the Company's "ServiceWare" approach to providing solutions for e-business. This decision effectively unified the Company's consulting engineering organization and its software products group into a single consulting services organization providing Internet systems integration, as well as extending its current service business to emphasize building cross- enterprise e-business solutions. Because of this recent shift in business direction and focus, the Company believes that consecutive quarter operating results comparisons are more meaningful than comparisons of the current quarters' results to the prior years' similar quarter. During the second half of 1998 the Company executed a number of strategic initiatives consistent with its new business direction and focus. These initiatives included reductions in headcount, and other cost reduction measures, directed at more appropriately aligning expenses with revenues. Because of these actions, and expectations from the marketplace, we have begun to expand our operations. This expansion includes an increase in headcount, during the first quarter of 1999. Further expansion is anticipated, including growth in our investment in the sales and marketing functions, as well as the continued growth of our technology center in the Chicago area. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Revenue Total revenue was $2,026,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1999, compared to $2,252,000 for the comparable period in 1998. For the three months ended March 31,1999, one customer represented approximately 25% of total revenue.
