    One Million Licenses Sold -- Only One Indicator of
Growth 

    Surpassing sales of over 1M licenses is only one
indication of SEVEN's growth rate as many of our customers
buy licenses as they are "consumed" and not in
advance -- at a pace that varies by market and by how long
the SEVEN-powered service has been in market.  In Japan,
SEVEN has seen substantial growth in large-scale enterprise
adoption and, for example, is currently deploying two large
deployments of 10,000 and 8,000 licenses respectively. 
These are "pay as consumed" contracts and are
additive to SEVEN's total license base.  SEVEN believes the
total market for push email will reach over one quarter
billion subscribers within five years as push email becomes
widely available as a standard feature across all mobile
handsets. 

    Customer Expansion to 80 Operators Includes High-Growth
Markets

    SEVEN also has seen phenomenal growth in many
high-growth markets such as India, the Middle East and
South America.  In India, SEVEN works with IDEA and
Hutchison and has recently signed deals with two regional
operators that are yet announced. In the Middle East, SEVEN
works with MTC Vodafone Group, Wataniya, Batelco and
Etisalat Group.  In South America, SEVEN works with
Telefonica across 14 properties and 15 countries. 

    "SEVEN has been heads-down developing innovative
technology to grow mobile email adoption.  We want mobile
email to work on every phone without hassle and major
expense -- whether you are an enterprise or consumer,"
said Kent Thexton, President and CEO of SEVEN.  "It is
gratifying to see our progress against that goal -- while
the market is still early in realizing its potential, we
have built a solid foundation based on innovation that will
cement our leadership position in the long term."
