With 23 Fairmont Hotel properties already equipped with Superclick's (OTCBB: SPCK) Internet Management System (SIMS), it's apparent that the company's Internet access solutions are gaining quality ground, and fast. Fairmont owns and operates 83 properties worldwide and having yet another high-profile name in Superclick's customer base (release below) further enforces and validates its products and sector influence. And ultimately, shareholder value. We alerted the readership to Superclick in February 2004 at 46 cents. While the shares have doubled since then, the trading for the last few months has been stuck in the 80-90 cent range. We look for the shares to break out of that range and begin a new upside run. While the timing is unclear, what we do know is that as more and more investors see the progress and revenue growth of the company, the share price will ultimately reflect the potential. Initial or continued accumulation is warranted for long-term investors. Gaining Respect, slowly... We believe that investors have, to a degree, ignored Superclick's progress and feel that is both a mistake and an opportunity. The revenue and customer growth has continued with amazing speed over the last year. The company issued guidance that 2004 revenues would smoke 2003, which they did: from virtually no revenues to almost $3 million. In the first quarter (as at January 31st) the company posted sales of $1.44 million. 2005 looks to continue the blistering growth pace evidenced in the 2003-2004 period. Once again, the quality of SPCK's solutions is lauded by its customers; in this case Fairmont Hotels. For context, Fairmont owns or operates 83 luxury or first class hotels worldwide with a room count exceeding 33,000. It also owns Canada's 37 first-class Delta Hotels and has various other high quality property investments globally. The company-wide Fairmont deal for Superclick can't be emphasized enough as to the potential for growth and follow-on business. Quality=Fairmont=Superclick And in case you think SIMS is merely an Internet access platform, its robustness is categorized succinctly by Paul Chin, Fairmont's Exec Director of Technology Services who states that the system not only enhances operational efficiencies (read major cost savings) but also: "The Intrusion Detection System function also allows us to track virus-infected PCs on the spot and gives us the ability to go right to the guest's port and shut them down in an instant. In general, the stability and robustness of SIMS eliminates problems up front and its call center application gives us the information we need to resolve any issues quickly." Throughout our coverage of Superclick, we have always been impressed with not only the stellar revenue growth, but the extremely positive impressions continually voiced by its customers. To have Fairmont on board is a major coup for SPCK. And ultimately, it's shareholders. We look for strong revenue growth for Superclick in 2005. Even though the first quarter was a record revenue generator, don't lose sight of the fact that due to the January quarter end, those sales were generated in what is historically the worst quarter for doing business with the hospitality sector--from Thanksgiving to Christmas/holidays. If SPCK merely keeps up the pace from the first quarter, revenues will see at least a doubling in 2005 over 2004. We believe the numbers could well be better than that. And, with the company's frequent posting of guidance, investors can feel comfort as SPCK has tended to under-guide in the past.  Investors tend to fixate on companies that capture the imagination, such as way cool technology or biotech. That's fine, especially in the SmallCap market, but the good growth stories should not be avoided or dismissed. Superclick is one of those stories. Revenue growth and customer acquisition is compelling. And will continue to be. The shares have quietly doubled over the last year even though it hasn't received the attention or the valuation for growth that we feel it deserves. It's certainly not too late to get in on the story: far from it, in our opinion.   Press release FAIRMONT HOTELS & RESORTS SELECTS SUPERCLICK'S INTERNET MANAGEMENT PLATFORM  SAN DIEGO, May 4, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- Superclick, Inc. (OTC BB:SPCK.OB - News) announced today that Fairmont Hotels & Resorts has selected its Superclick Internet Management System (SIMS) platform for an aggressive rollout throughout Fairmont's hotel properties over the next three months. Following extensive laboratory testing and successful field trials, Fairmont has verified that the SIMS platform is superior to their current system, resulting in a 30-40% decline in helpdesk tickets from their guests. To date, Fairmont has equipped 23 hotels with the SIMS solution.  "Superclick enables our Level 1 support staff to perform added troubleshooting functions, so from a management perspective it greatly increases our operational efficiencies ." commented Paul Chin, Fairmont's Executive Director, Technology Services.  "It also provides us with a greater perspective of  the guests' room and , the status of their ports, and can isolate any issues in a timelier fashion. . Call times with guests  have been reduced considerably, because we can now go right onto the server and see immediately what the guest is doing." "The Intrusion Detection System function also allows us to track virus-infected PCs on the spot and gives us the ability to go right to the guest's port and shut them down in an instant.." Mr. Chin added that, "In general, the stability and robustness of SIMS eliminates problems up front and its call center application gives us the information we need to resolve any issues quickly." Sandro Natale, Superclick's VP of Business Development noted that "This is a tremendous validation of what we've been saying about SIMS. We've had anecdotal evidence of its superiority vs. the competition but now have shown it in large hotels with established track records and using the same call center staff. One of the key features that SIMS provides is our call center application which can instantaneously verify all equipment between the call center and the guest's PC. Additionally, SIMS scans all links periodically and automatically sends an email to hotel management advising of in-room CPE issues. This allows staff to address issues such as an unplugged DSL modem before even sending a guest to a room." About Superclick, Inc.  Superclick, Inc.
