Exhibit A
Section 1 5 a Company History
High Plains was established in 1985 in Denver by Mark Chelme, a full-time firefighter
and paramedic who had extensive experience in the field of software development The
company's mission was to develop leading -edge fire department management software
The company was established initially as a sole proprietorship under the name High
Plains Computer Technologies In 1998, the business was incorporated as High Plains
Consulting Corp , and in 2002, the corporation assumed its current name Mr Chelme is
and has always been the sole shareholder
For the first 16 years of the company's history, the software was based on the UNIX
operating system Although the software was very solid, the UNIX user interface was not
very common and many users found the software difficult to use This, coupled with the
fact that Mr Chelme was a full time firefighter without much time to devote to the
company, impeded the growth For many years, High Plains existed to serve a small
customer base in Colorado and did not seek to grow
In 2000, the decision was made to completely re -engineer the software and develop it for
Microsoft Windows using Microsoft's native tools The first module, Life Safety, was
released in 2002 The Incident Reporting module came next and was placed to service for
the first time in 2003 Finally, an early version of the Human Resources module was
completed and released in 2005
Since the initial release of the Windows -based software, High Plains' customer base has
grown at a steady pace, and the software is receiving attention from coast to coast
Customers are now located from Alaska to Virginia with many points in-between
