Press Release

Houston , Texas (April 4, 2003) - The System Shop chooses SKL Services, Inc as a business alliance partner for colocation services. The alliance was driven by demand and a need from the Houston business community for a local provider of comprehensive Colocation services that The System Shop requires for its customers.

The System Shop was founded by James Wroten in 1998 to provide software-based solutions to the problems of tracking the ever more complicated transactions of the energy and chemical industries.

Our systems automatically track market prices, perform mark-to-market calculations, and assure that management has available current reports summarizing profit, loss, and risk positions.

C3 System Overview
