The Company shows very limited revenue in 2004, reflecting the fact
that
the acquisition of Rocketinfo occurred in the last quarter of
2004. Many of these goals have already
been met and
exceeded. New and recently signed contracts,
building upon our existing client base
, will all contribute to
substantially increased revenue for 2005 and beyond. What follows, however
, are a few notable
developments:

many improvements to our core search
product, including significantly improving our content scraping
and
indexing technology to provide more news, more quickly than other
competing services.searches ap

English-language press release service for Japanese corporate
clients since
2001, and is now pleased to leverage its technology and extensive
distribution network

release distribution system in Japanese."
Partners offering fulfillment to clients in Japanese through the new JCN
service include US-based
Market Wire, the preferred press release service
of the NASDAQ, Paris-based CompanyNewsGroup, the
European leader in
corporate news distribution, and the RNS (Regulatory News Service) of the
London
Stock Exchange, which distributes the vast majority of company news
and results announcements in
the UK. We recently introduced
advertising into the Rocketinfo model, and given the incredible growth
in advertiser demand for quality exposure we anticipate that
advertising revenues will be a major
contributor to the Company's 2005
revenue. No other
search engine service can match Rocket RSS

such a huge and diverse repository of current news and business
information
