Business History

• Wells-Gardner Electronics Corporation has been
  continuously in business since its incorporation
  in 1925 in Illinois. The Company has traded
  publicly on the American Stock Exchange since
  1945 under the symbol WGA.
• During one period following World War II,
  Wells-Gardner made 3 of all TVs sold in America.
  The Company bounced back from the Japanese
  aggressive inroads in those markets by
  capitalizing on the explosive growth in the video
  arcade market, by selling 100 million worth of
  monitors for Pac-Man.
• During these shifts in consumer preference and
  international marketing, and because of them, the
  Company subscribed to a leaner, customer-driven
  philosophy. The company also developed a
  Best-in-Class engineering expertise capable of
  quickly responding to a customers needs for ISO
  9001 video monitors in many sizes for many uses.

Business History

• First Quarter 2004 Highlights
• EarthLink's performance in the first quarter
  reflects the company's continued focus on
  profitable growth and outstanding customer
  service. Benefiting from greater operational
  efficiencies and improving telecommunications
  services costs, EarthLink generated strong
  customer growth as it strengthened its position
  in the value priced and broadband markets.
• In particular, EarthLink made significant
  inroads in the broadband arena by signing an
  expanded Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) agreement
  with Verizon, launching DSL service in Qwest's
  territories, and teaming up with Progress Energy
  to conduct a limited Broadband over Power Line
  (BPL) trial in North Carolina. EarthLink was also
  encouraged by the March 31, 2004 decision by the
  United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth
  Circuit not to revisit its earlier ruling that
  cable modem service contains a telecommunications
  service. If upheld, this decision will help open
  cable broadband networks to competition, thus
  enabling EarthLink to offer high speed service
  over additional cable networks.

What's Important to EarthLink?

• We respect the individual, and believe that
  individuals who are treated with respect and
  given responsibility respond by giving their
  best.
• We require complete honesty and integrity in
  everything we do.
• We make commitments with care, and then live up
  to them. In all things, we do what we say we are
  going to do.
• Work is an important part of life, and it should
  be fun. Being a good businessperson does not mean
  being stuffy and boring.
• We love to compete, and we believe that
  competition brings out the best in us.
• We are frugal. We guard and conserve the
  company's resources with at least the same
  vigilance that we would use to guard and conserve
  our own personal resources.
• We insist on giving our best effort in everything
  we undertake. Furthermore, we see a huge
  difference between "good mistakes" (best effort,
  bad result) and "bad mistakes" (sloppiness or
  lack of effort).
• Clarity in understanding our mission, our goals,
  and what we expect from each other is critical to
  our success.
• We are believers in the Golden Rule. In all our
  dealings we will strive to be friendly and
  courteous, as well as fair and compassionate.
