 management of eDynaQuote(TM) operations, we were able to increase its
 enterprise value and apply this knowledge to the identification of and
 subsequent negotiation with prospective buyers."
     "We appreciate PRIMA's tireless and industrious efforts focused on
 identifying the 'right' buyer for eDynaQuote(TM)," noted Susan Breon,
 President of eBizITPA. "As a result, we have found a buyer interested in
 retaining the eDynaQuote(TM) management and a presence in Pennsylvania."

 efforts and daily operations was also an important component in the
 successful conclusion of this process," she added.

 added, "At every point in the sales process, PRIMA worked professionally to
 negotiate the best deal for both the seller and the buyer. The
 professionalism and high integrity of the entire PRIMA team made for a very
 smooth transaction."
