CBay Systems, Ltd. To Be Named One Of Maryland’s Fastest Growing Technology Companies In Deloitte’s Technology Fast 50 Program

ANNAPOLIS, Md., Oct. 4 /PRNewswire/ -- CBay Systems, Ltd. will be named to Deloitte’s prestigious Technology Fast 50 Program for Maryland, a ranking of the 50 fastest growing technology companies in the area by Deloitte & Touche LLP, one of the nation’s leading professional services firms. Scheduled to be announced October 8, 2004, Technology Fast 50 rankings are based on the percentage of growth in fiscal year revenues over five years, from 1999 - 2003. Wilmer, Cutler, Pickering, Hale and Dorr is the sponsor for this year’s Maryland Technology Fast 50 program and PR Newswire is the official media partner.

CBay’s President, Donald “Skip” Conover credits the Company’s effective team approach and committed staff with the company’s fast growth over the past five years. He said, “We have always combined the expertise of our financially and internationally sophisticated executive team with the long and proven experience of our senior managers to create the fastest growing company in our industry.”

“The Deloitte Maryland Technology Fast 50 companies have shown the strength, vision and temerity to succeed despite a very challenging technology environment,” said Gary H. Tabach of Deloitte’s Technology, Media & Telecommunications Practice and Office Managing Partner for Deloitte’s McLean, Virginia office. “We applaud the successes of CBay and acknowledge their place as one of the very few to accomplish such a fast growth rate over the past five years.”

“In today’s economy, (double or triple)-digit percentage revenue growth is an exceptional accomplishment. We commend CBay for making the commitment to technology and delivering on the promise of market longevity. We are proud to honor CBay as a Deloitte Technology Fast 50 winner.”

To qualify for the Technology Fast 50, companies must have had operating revenues of at least $50,000 in 1999 and $1,000,000 in 2003, must be public or private companies headquartered in North America, and be a “technology company” defined as owning proprietary technology that contributes to a significant portion of the company’s operating revenues (using other companies’ technology in a unique way does not qualify); and/or devoting a significant proportion of revenues to research and development of technology.

Winners of the 19 regional Technology Fast 50 programs in the United States and Canada are automatically entered in the Deloitte Technology Fast 500 program, which ranks North America’s top 500 fastest growing technology companies.
