FORTUNE Small Business Ranks America's Fastest-Growing Small
Companies; Netsmart Technologies Ranked Number 48 


GREAT RIVER, N.Y., June 22  /PRNewswire/ -- FORTUNE Small Business announced
today that Netsmart Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:NTST) has been ranked 48 on the
fifth annual FSB 100 list of the 100 fastest growing small companies in
America. The list, which is comprised of public companies, appears in the
July/August issue of FORTUNE Small Business, available on newsstands July 4 and
at http://www.fsb.com/.

James Conway, CEO of Netsmart Technologies stated, "We are extremely pleased to
be recognized by FORTUNE Small Business magazine.  This is our second
consecutive year on the list.  Last year we were recognized as the 70th fastest
growing small company."

California tops the list of the states with the most companies on the FORTUNE
Small Business 100 with 14 companies, followed by Texas and Florida with nine
and New York and Pennsylvania with eight.

To compile the list, FORTUNE Small Business asked financial research firm Zacks
to screen annual reports for public companies with annual revenue of less than
$200 million and a stock price of more than $1.  Within that group, companies
were ranked based on the past three years' earnings growth, revenue growth, and
stock performance.  Real estate firms and banks, which had begun to override
the list in recent years, were not considered for the list this year.
