SPRING LAKE PARK, MN -- December 6, 2002 -- Snowmint Creative Solutions LLC, a publisher of personal productivity software solutions, announced today the acquisition of Budget, a unique personal finance application.

Operating with a completely new visual identity and business model, Snowmint Creative Solutions is debuting a new logo and web site with new customer support forums.

Budget is a powerful personal finance tool that has been developed and used over the last five years by thousands of consumers around the world. Budget allows users to obligate their money for future expenses, track where they've spent their money in the past, and stick to a budget. The product can also track a stock portfolio, help balance a checkbook and print checks on any printer. Budget is the ideal personal finance tool for the consumer market.

"The acquisition of Budget is a strategic step in broadening the worldwide appeal of the software", said Kyle Hammond, President of Snowmint.

We are extremely excited to introduce our technology and the benefits it can offer to consumers".
