"Our focus is on the integration of the FNIS organization," said Chief Executive Officer Patrick F. Stone. We have recognized $24 million in run rate synergies since formation last August. We also completed the merger with Micro General on July 9 and are confident that the transaction will result in a minimum of another $10 million in synergies. The integration efforts and resulting foundation are crucial for the support of our aggressive growth plans in late 2002 and into 2003."
