Questions?

This Presentation contains forward-looking statements based on beliefs of eCube Systems management. Such statements reflect current views of eCube Systems with respect to future events and results and are subject to risks and uncertainties. Actual results may vary materially from those projected here, due to factors including changes in general economic and business conditions, changes in currency exchange, the introduction of competing products, lack of market

acceptance of new products, services or technologies and changes in business strategy.
