"Our strategic decision to institute tighter controls on merchant account acquisitions resulted in a return to profitability in the face of a difficult economic environment," said William Lopshire, CEO, I.C.E. "While this policy did result in revenue contraction, we remain focused on profitability and have pared general and administrative costs an additional $444,000 in the second quarter."

Mr. Lopshire added, "Now, that we have cut expenses as deeply as possible, we have formed the LIFT Networks division, based in Tampa, Florida, in a drive to accelerate revenue growth in our smart card and credit card processing businesses. LIFT Networks will expand on our current product lines by offering additional services to our stored value Gift and Loyalty products; such as, Shop & Dine Rewards, a unique multi-merchant community stored value cash/gift, loyalty and rewards card; stored value MasterCard with payroll rewards; and the introduction of a consumer credit card program -- LIFT Revolution. We believe that, given our current cost structure, any incremental revenue gains will have a strong positive effect on net income."

The LIFT Networks division focuses on the value-added services and products that I.C.E. can provide to merchants to allow them to promote their businesses and to access critical customer data and spending habits.

Mr. Lopshire stated, "Our LIFT Networks division has a suite of products and services that enable merchants to create unique marketing campaigns to attract new customers, reward loyal customers and most importantly, to monitor the actual results through our proprietary customer relationship and management ('CRM') software and databases."

Mr. Lopshire went on to say, "In the current economic environment we believe that are value-added services and products help distinguish us from our competitors, especially those focused on solely providing credit card processing services, which is increasingly becoming a commoditized business."
