Commenting on the results, Ultradata President Ernest Clarke said,
"Our Talking Road Whiz product has generated significant sales and
profits, giving us three successive profitable quarters as we enter
the third quarter, which we expect to be weak. We have already
exceeded our total 2003 sales of $2.86 million, and we have a backlog
of $520,447 for delivery in the fourth quarter of 2004, which has
traditionally been our largest quarter.
"In addition, we are making progress with the introduction of
other new products using our voice technology and expect sales from
these new products to add to our fourth-quarter results," Clarke
continued.

make introduction of our product with a limited marketing budget
difficult. Additional information relating to historical financial and
