Together, the combined company will provide voter registration and election related products and services to more than 60 counties in six states, representing more than seven million registered voters.

"AccuPoll's proposed acquisition of NTS will create a full-service election company," said Frank Wiebe, President of AccuPoll. "From voter registration through final election canvass and reporting, AccuPoll will be able to provide all of the functions that officials require to easily and completely manage an election."

Since 1979, NTS Data Services has provided voter registration software and election support services to election officials throughout the country. NTS also provides supplemental services such as image conversion and election night reporting.

"NTS possesses a solid track record of profitable operations, an outstanding reputation in the industry, and significant, long-term customer relationships in northeastern states including New York and Pennsylvania," added Wiebe.

AccuPoll develops DRE voting systems that feature a voter verified paper audit trail, or VVPAT, which allows voters to verify -- via an immediately printed paper audit trail -- that their vote was accurately recorded at the time it is cast. AccuPoll's DRE voting system this year received federal qualification and is continuing to receive state certifications across the country.

"AccuPoll's voter verified paper audit trail voting system is the best technology that we have seen for protecting the integrity of voters' selections on Election Day and is more advanced than any other available voting system," said Dr. Charles G. DeWald, Chief Executive Officer of NTS Data Services.

The purchase price consists of a specified amount of cash and stock. The acquisition agreement provides for a closing date by August 30, 2004, and is subject to final due diligence, completion of financing and other conditions as outlined in the agreement.
