   About Tier

   Tier is a leading provider of transaction processing and packaged
software and systems integration services for public sector clients.
We combine our understanding of enterprise-wide systems with domain
knowledge enabling our clients to rapidly channel emerging
technologies into their operations. We focus on sectors that we
believe are driven by forces that make demand for our services less
discretionary and are likely to provide us with recurring long-term
revenue streams. Tier is included in the Russell 3000(R) Index. More
information about the Company is available at www.Tier.com.

extension or early termination of client projects; the Company's
ability to realize revenues from its business development
opportunities; and unanticipated claims as a result of project
performance, including due to the failure of software providers or
