        Sterling Partners is our primary shareholder and financial sponsor. Sterling is a multifaceted private equity firm focusing on buyouts and venture capital. Having managed over $1.2 billion since its founding in 1983 and with a team of more than 20 professionals, Sterling Partners has a strong track record of making sound investments that yield excellent returns. Sterling Partners continually strive for excellence in all aspects of our business - from the quality of each transaction to the breadth and depth of financial, legal, human resources, tax, strategic planning and operations skills available to our team and to the companies in which we invest. Sterling Partners began in 1983 with the belief that a compelling idea could become a great business. The firm's founders saw enormous potential in an emerging information technology that could store hundreds of pages of medical information on a credit card-sized piece of plastic. Out of this technology, the foursome built a multimillion dollar business - LifeCard International - that was sold to a major insurance company in 1985. With the success of LifeCard, Sterling Partners was born. Sterling Partners was founded on the combination of ideas and the people who know how to make them realities. Sterling continues that tradition through a disciplined investment focus in its two distinct funds -- Sterling Capital Partners and Sterling Venture Partners.
