Hot 500 list of fastest growing companies and is excited to receive the ranking of #1295 on the Inc. 5000 list.

The Inc. 5000 is the first-ever expansion of the 25-year-old Inc. 500, which is Inc. magazine’s annual
ranking of the fastest-growing privately-held companies in America. In comparison, the Inc. 5000 gives a
broader view of the plethora of private companies that start, grow and prosper in the United States. According
to Inc. 5000, the companies are ranked by percentage revenue growth from 2003 through 2006. To qualify,
companies must have been founded and generating revenue by the first week of 2003, and therefore able to show
four full calendar years of sales. Additionally, they had to be U.S.-based, privately held, and independent--not
subsidiaries or divisions of other companies--as of December 31, 2006.
