Total merchant accounts grew 170 percent in October 2005 compared to the year-ago period. For the first seven months of fiscal 2006, total merchant accounts grew 75 percent. Acies noted that the growth in merchant accounts has been generated organically, with little addition to the Company's infrastructure or overhead.
