Kaulkin Ginsberg Releases Kaulkin Report, 6th Edition

A$3 Billion of ARM Industry's $15 Billion in 2004 Revenues Realized by Debt Buyers

April 15, 2005: BETHESDA, MD - Kaulkin Ginsberg Company, the leading provider of M&A, strategic advice, research and information for the Accounts Receivable Management industry, has published the 6th Edition of the Kaulkin Report. Featured in the 90+-page publication is a unique analysis and sizing of the $3 billion debt buying market, including measurements of its total revenues, identification of its major players and assessments of its prospects for growth.

"For some time now, banks and other financial institutions have been realizing significant upfront cash flow by selling their receivables," said Mike Ginsberg, President and CEO of Kaulkin Ginsberg. "While some pricing concerns exist within these markets, growth is expected and other creditors such as telecommunications and health care are trending toward selling receivables. Internationally, we are seeing growth in the UK and into Europe as well as parts of Asia. This reinforces our strong belief that debt buying in the accounts receivable management industry will continue to increase in importance."

The Kaulkin Report, subtitled "Accounts Receivable Management: A Growth Industry," has become the industry's authoritative reference. Its many subjects include:

• Size and growth of the contingency, debt buying, first party and legal collection markets
• Trends in debt levels, offshoring, technology vendors, mergers and acquisitions
• Overview of the industry's legal and regulatory framework, including enforcements and lawsuits
• Record amounts of personal, business and government debt held in the U.S.
• Cost savings that have been realized by large U.S. collections agencies
• Record volume of mergers and acquisitions in the industry
• Forecasted trends in pricing, consolidation, globalization and competition
