• Revenue contribution from UPG in the 2006 period was $23,505,352, a 15% increase over the 2005 contribution of $20,446,237.

• AlphaNet’s revenues decreased 11% to $451,359 in the 2006 from $509,679 in the 2005 period. The decrease is attributable to the continued decline in customer usage of the InnFax™ product due to de-installations of Innfax™ product from hotel properties, and a higher percentage of revenue sharing with hotels on The Office™ product.
