To keep up with the tremendous growth we are experiencing, we have added 10 staff members since January 1st and have plans to hire about 10 more throughout the year. It's a very busy and exciting time for Four Hands. We have reached new milestones for the company nearly every month and feel confident this trend will continue for the remainder of 2006."

Serratore-Gunter continues, "Our Founder and President, Brett Hatton, was recently named as a regional winner of Ernst & Young's Entrepreneur of the Year program. In the first 2 quarters of 2006, Four Hands will achieve 70% of the revenue recorded compared to the total revenue in all of 2005."

"We are anxiously awaiting the results of the 2nd quarter of the Private Company Index. It is interesting to compare the private space to that of the public markets. Private companies are certainly continuing to grow as the Private Company Index indicates" states, Stephen H. Watkins, CEO of Entrex. "It is representative of the vitality of the private sector which is not reflected in the turmoil seen across the public markets."
