VANCOUVER WA, February 14, 2005

DM2 Software, which develops accounting and other business-management software for petroleum distributors nationwide, has been named to Best Software's distinguished President's Circle for the sixth consecutive year. DM2 placed among the top 10 for the fourth straight year in the competition among nearly 6,000 Best business and consulting partners based on sales revenue for the fiscal year that ended September 30, 2004.

Only 50 companies annually achieve membership in the Best Software President's Circle. DM2 Software, a Best Software partner since 1989, sells the company's MAS 90 and MAS 200 accounting software programs.

"President's Circle recognition is reserved for the 'best of the best' of our channel partners, and DM2 has achieved this prestigious designation," said Taylor Macdonald, Best Software executive vice president, Channel and Sales Operations, Mid-Market Division. "We acknowledge their tremendous sales efforts over the past fiscal year and look forward to continuing our mutually successful relationship with them in the coming year."

President's Circle membership is open to mid-market business partners who achieve top revenue across all Best Software Mid-Market Division product lines, including Abra, ACCPAC, BatchMaster PFW, BusinessVision, BusinessWorks, Carpe Diem, FAS, MAS 90, MAS 200, MAS 500, MIP Fund Accounting, MIP Fundraising, Platinum for Windows by Best, SalesLogix, and TimeSheet Professional.

"The President's Circle honor really is a testament to our customers," said Doug Stewart, President of DM2 Software. "We view our relationship with our customers and Best as a 'team'-and membership in the President's Circle exemplifies that."

DM2 and other Best President's Circle partners were honored at an awards ceremony in St. Thomas, Virgin Islands, in late January.
