Business Integration Involving Pending Acquisition of Prescient Applied Intelligence Yields Significant Expense Reductions

PARK CITY, UT - Nov. 17, 2008 - Park City Group, Inc. (OTCBB: PCYG), a developer and marketer of patented computer software and consulting services which enable its retail customers to increase sales while reducing inventory and labor costs, today announced financial results for the first quarter ended September 30, 2008.

Highlights for the first quarter include:

• Supply Chain Profit Link (SCPL) subscription initiated upon completion of $47 million identified opportunity gap for a 200+ store supermarket retailer
• Completion of an SCPL opportunity evaluation, uncovering $19 million in lost opportunity for 1,300 store supermarket retailer - retailer presently evaluating SCPL subscription
• Enhanced ActionManager® labor technology system for leading home improvement specialty retailer
• Entered agreement to acquire Prescient Applied Intelligence (OTCBB: PPID)
  • Combined companies will provide one of the most comprehensive inventory and labor management solutions for suppliers and retailers and dramatically improved EBITDA

For the first quarter of fiscal 2009 the company reported that revenues decreased 38 percent to $530,278 as compared with $854,264 for the same period last year.  Lower revenue results were due in part to a $320,000 reduction in license and maintenance revenues when comparing the quarter ended 2008 with the same period in 2007. As previously announced, in 2007 the Company modified its business strategy to focus on increasing sales of its suite of software products on a subscription basis.  The Company will continue to generate licensing revenues, which by their nature are less predictable, and are best evaluated on an annual, rather than quarterly, basis.

Total operating expenses for the first quarter of fiscal 2009 were down 17 percent, or $300,843, when compared with the same period in 2008.  This is the result of a combination of efficiencies recognized in the pending merger with Prescient which included a reduction in total headcount, a reduction in consultant costs and recruitment fees, and in one-time expenses comprised of patent defense costs and stock compensation expense.

This resulted in a net loss applicable to common shareholders of ($1,209,884), or ($0.13) loss per share, as compared with ($737,216), or ($0.08) loss per share, in the same period last year.  When excluding one-time items, including income associated with patent activities of $200,000 in first quarter of fiscal 2008 which did not occur in the same period in fiscal 2009, and ($197,205) operating loss associated with the Company’s 8 percent investment in Prescient, the adjusted net loss applicable to common shareholders for the period ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 was, ($924,283) and ($854,724), respectively.

Commenting on the results, Park City Group’s Chairman and CEO, Randall K. Fields said, “We continue to make important sales and marketing inroads as we focus on strategic initiatives to increase the use of our SCPL software as a renewable and recurring subscription-based tool. In the first quarter we signed a new SCPL subscription after uncovering a $47 million opportunity gap during an introductory trial.  While the transition to a recurring revenue stream will have its’ challenges, we are focused on our goal to deliver increasingly predictable financial results.  As retailers and manufacturers experience greater challenges in retaining their best customers, interest in our SCPL program strengthens in all sectors.

“Now that the distractions related to the early stages of pending acquisition of Prescient are behind us, we are focused on maximizing strengths of our combined businesses,” Fields said.  “We expect that revenues will begin to reflect an improving trend in the third quarter.  This merger provides an important, game changing benefit for our company — and we expect to realize benefits which will impact virtually all levels of our business.  Approximately 80 percent of the integration plan has already been completed and $3 million in annual cost reduction measures have already been taken and will be reflected over the next several quarters.”

Upon customary SEC review and Prescient shareholder approval, the Company will purchase the remaining outstanding common and preferred shares of Prescient and Prescient will merge with a newly formed subsidiary and become a wholly owned subsidiary of Park City Group.

Subscription Follows Completion of SCPL Opportunity Identification Program

PARK CITY, Utah – October 31, 2008 – Park City Group, Inc. (OTCBB: PCYG), a developer of patented retail supply chain solutions and services, today announced that a 225 store southeastern grocery chain has signed a subscription agreement for Supply Chain Profit Link (SCPL). The subscription for the first product category, ice cream, comes after the completion of a successful SCPL opportunity identification program in three categories, in which a $5.2M opportunity gap was recognized through out-of-stock identification and promotion optimization. The opportunity gap in ice cream represented over 50% total gap uncovered. The grocery chain plans to expand SCPL into the other categories in coming months.

The grocery chain will initially utilize SCPL as the foundation for collaboration across 20 brands with multiple suppliers. SCPL will allow the retailer to view category and item product movement at various aggregations including corporate, division, region, and department level, down to hourly increments.  This visibility allows for unprecedented tracking and continuous correction of store and shelf-level issues, eliminating out-of-stocks and reducing shrink. The retailer and its suppliers will be working together to focus on mutual opportunities and realize the sales and profit improvement identified in the significant opportunity gap.

SCPL is a service offering for both perishable and non-perishable product categories which analyzes retail data and provides specific action steps to improve sales and implement cost savings measures not previously recognized by retailers and suppliers. Results of these engagements with other retailers have historically uncovered tens of millions of dollars in lost opportunities, including improvements to assortment/store clustering, increased service level and improvement in distribution voids.

Randall K. Fields, Park City Group Chairman and CEO, commented, “Our opportunity identification program provides retailers just a taste of what SCPL can do. The millions of dollars in cost savings and/or lost sales we have uncovered to date will most definitely increase as we expand across additional suppliers and categories. We take pride in the level of cost savings and increased revenue we provide our customers.”

Assessment to Uncover Improvements for In-Stock Positions and Assortment Planning  In Three Product Categories for 160+ Stores of Northeast-Based Grocery Retailer 

PARK CITY, Utah – October 23, 2008 – Park City Group, Inc. (OTCBB: PCYG), a developer of patented retail supply chain solutions and services, announced today that a Northeast grocery chain, a division of a global food retailing leader, has initiated a Supply Chain Profit Link (SCPL) opportunity identification program throughout its 160+ store chain. This latest SCPL evaluation comes on the heels on last week’s announced opportunity identification by a prominent northwest grocery retailer in 120+ stores in two product categories.

The SCPL service offering for perishable and non-perishable categories analyzes retail data and provides specific action steps to improve sales opportunities and cost saving measures not previously recognized by retailers and suppliers. Across categories, SCPL allows retailers and suppliers to view category and item-level product movement from a high-level corporate, division, region, store, department level, down to hourly increments allowing for unprecedented tracking and correction of store- and shelf-level issues.

During the 2-3 month pilot opportunity identification period, Park City Group will analyze inventory and sales data provided by the retailer, in the rotisserie chicken, ground beef and milk categories, and perform a detailed analysis using patented technology that results in identification of quantifiable areas.  Results of these engagements with other retailers have historically uncovered tens of millions of dollars in lost opportunities, including improvements to assortment/store clustering, increased service level and improvement in distribution voids. Subsequent subscription to the ongoing SCPL service builds upon the opportunity identification program and its analytic foundation, providing recommended specific action and ongoing steps that enable the retailer and its suppliers to capture millions of dollars of missed sales and profits.

“The ability to respond and react quickly to the changing needs of retail customers is a competitive advantage all retailers are looking for. Supply Chain Profit Link is that competitive advantage. It gives retailers an hour-by-hour view of sales, allowing them to base assortment planning and store clustering on actual item performance, and ensures the right item is on the shelf for the customers,” commented Randall K. Fields, Park City Group Chairman and CEO.

I want to thank everybody for taking time out this afternoon. I know it’s an important day in the market and the world to listen to our year end conference call. Really the topics that we’ll cover today, I suspect, involved not just last year but equally importantly what’s going on in terms of our acquisition of Prescient so we’re fully prepared to talk about that as well. But to kick things off, let me turn it over to our CFO, John Merrill, who’ll give us an outline of what happened in the prior fiscal year. He’ll turn it back to me and I’ll sort of give you what I consider to be the managerial highlights.
