BACKAMP RESEARCH -- COMPANY HISTORY

BackAmp Research was formed in 1960 in Rockledge, Florida, as a subsidary of
Glyptoman Conglomerated.  In 1980, BackAmp Research relocated to Gainesville,
Florida under a technology incubator program at the University of Florida.
During this period, the company negotiated various business agreements
that would result in later strategic acquisitions.

In 1984, the spin-off from Glyptoman was formally completed and the company
relocated again to Austin, Texas.  BackAmp Research retired its senior debt
obligations to the parent company in 1986.  Company operations remained in
Austin until an emergency relocation in 1999 related to a merger with AYBCO.

From 1999 to 2005, BackAmp Research operated from its temporary headquarters
in Parrish, Florida.  In 2005, BackAmp Research returned to Austin where it
continues to operate today.
