Sacramento, California. February 10, 2006

Leading on-hold messaging provider Audio Messaging Solutions, LLC (“AMS”), an SJ Partners portfolio company, has announced that it has successfully completed the acquisition of Sacramento area Company, Performance Audio Marketing, LLC (“PERFORMANCE”). This will be AMS’ second transaction in California. AMS completed the acquisition of the assets of northern California based AD TEL GROUP in May of 2005. AMS will be keeping PERFORMANCE’s Sacramento office open to help service AMS’ entire West Coast customer base.

“We are pleased to announce this partnership with AMS. Our clients will continue to receive the outstanding service they are used to, and they will have more on-hold and related products to choose from. AMS has in-house studios, providing faster turn-around time and a larger selection of professional voice talent. . .I look forward to working with AMS,” stated Barbara Bussey, President of Performance and board member of the On Hold Messaging Association. Bussey will be staying on as General Manager of AMS’ West Coast operations.

“We look forward to working with PERFORMANCE’s clients as we continue to integrate both Companies. With nearly 3000 client locations in California and other Western states, AMS felt the time was right to establish a local presence. Barbara really impressed us with how she built PERFORMANCE from a home-based business to one of the largest providers of custom written telephone messaging in the Capital region. We could not think of a better operator as a partner. With its diverse business and economic base and its positive business climate, Sacramento seemed to be a natural fit for us,” said Mitchell Keller, President of AMS.

AMS will be introducing new products like In-Store Music and Messaging plus introducing new technology. This will allow new and existing customers to take advantage of this key customer touch point and extend their brand in new and exciting ways.
