Manatron, Inc. Named to BusinessWeek's Top
100 Hot Growth Companies List
KALAMAZOO, Michigan, June 1, 2000--Manatron, Inc. (Nasdaq:MANA)
today announced that it was ranked 83 among the Top 100 Hot Growth
Companies for 2000, a list published in the May 29 issue of BusinessWeek
magazine. The list, which ranked companies with annual sales between
$25 million and $500 million on three-year sales and earnings growth
and return on capital, included such companies as Vitesse Semiconductor,
Network Solutions, Martha Stewart Living, Skechers U.S.A, and Gentex.
"Manatron's distinction as a hot growth company is the result of
the hard work and dedication of our employees and reinvestment into
our product and people," said Paul Sylvester, Manatron's President
and Chief Executive Officer. "Future growth primarily will stem
from the sale and implementation of our GovernMax division's WebConnect
suite, which is our Internet software for local governments, and
our new MVP Tax system."
Over the past three years, on average, Manatron's earnings advanced
138 percent on 28 percent revenue growth and its return on capital
averaged 14 percent during the same period. For the first nine months
of fiscal 2000, Manatron's earnings have increased 60 percent on
23 percent revenue growth over the prior year period.
