PUBC’s selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") increased $420,710, from $166,892 to $587,602. This increase was mainly attributable to approximately $250,000 incurred on research reports, earning calls, audited financials, and public relations. PUBC had net income of $351,389 for the first quarter of 2005 compared to a net loss of $89,984 during the corresponding period previous year.

This quarter lays the groundwork for demonstrating that PUBC is executing its business plan with a balanced top line and realized/unrealized portfolio gains platform. Our deal flow has recently been extremely robust and we have a healthy backlog of business going into this next quarter. We will release our FYE05 revenue estimates within a week.”
