to Rainmaker as of this date and we assume no obligation to update any such
forward-looking statements.  These statements are not guarantees of future
performance, and actual results could differ materially from current
expectations.  Among the important factors which could cause actual results to
differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements are general
market conditions, the current very difficult macro-economic environment and
its impact on our business as our clients are reducing their overall marketing

contracts, the high degree of uncertainty and our limited visibility due to
economic conditions, our ability to execute our business strategy, our ability
to integrate acquisitions without disruption to our business, the
effectiveness of our sales team and approach, our ability to target, analyze
and forecast the revenue to be derived from a client and the costs associated
with providing services to that client, the date during the course of a
calendar year that a new client is acquired, the length of the integration
cycle for new clients and the timing of revenues and costs associated
therewith, our client concentration given that we are currently dependent on a
few significant client relationships, our ability to expand our channel hosted
contract solution and drive adoption of this solution by resellers, potential
competition in the marketplace, the ability to retain and attract employees,
market acceptance of our service programs and pricing options, our ability to
maintain our existing technology platform and to deploy new technology, our
ability to sign new clients and control expenses, the possibility of the
discontinuation and/or realignment of some client relationships, and the
financial condition of our clients' businesses, and other factors detailed in
the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including
our filings on Forms 10-K and 10-Q.
