(FOUNTAIN VALLEY, CA) CAM Commerce Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ: CADA) announced today that it concluded this week that its balance sheet at September 30, 2004 that was previously released on November 15, 2004 understated its net deferred tax assets by $2.4 million. It has revised its balance sheet to include an increase in net deferred tax assets of $2.4 million, which has resulted in an increase in capital in excess of par value for the same amount. Upon further analysis by the company of its financial performance for fiscal year 2004, its projected future taxable income, and other factors, the valuation allowance was reversed based on the company's belief that it will earn sufficient future income from operations to be able to utilize its deferred tax assets. This reversal resulted in the increase in net deferred tax assets from zero to $2.4 million.

The company utilizes the liability method of accounting for income taxes as set forth in Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. Deferred taxes are determined based on the difference between financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using federal and state tax rates. Deferred tax assets include accruals not currently deductible for taxes, book depreciation in excess of tax depreciation, tax credit carryforwards, and net operating loss carryforwards. Under SFAS No. 109, when a company believes that it may not have sufficient income to be able to utilize its deferred tax assets, a valuation allowance is recorded. The difference between the valuation allowance and the deferred tax assets is the amount of net deferred tax assets. Prior to today's revision of the company's net deferred tax assets, the company's valuation allowance for deferred tax assets at fiscal year end 2002 and 2003 had reduced its net deferred tax assets to zero.
