 Company Update
The company has gained momentum in terms of the current business activities. Our parent company ‘Rose International’ posted a revenue of $67 million for 2004. Rose is off to a slower start than hoped for 2005; however we are adjusting resources to become efficient against the current revenue levels.

We look forward to growing from this point in 2005. Offshore solutions and recruiting are key benefits to the customer facing U.S. team in helping them maintain a competitive edge..
