ATLANTA, July 11 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --

Firstwave Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: FSTW), a leading web-based, industry-focused Customer Relationship Management (CRM) solutions provider, is announcing today preliminary results for the second quarter of 2003. The Company expects second quarter revenues to be in the range of $2.9 million and $3.0 million and anticipates earnings in the range of $.01 to $.04 per basic share. These anticipated results are preliminary and are subject to further review.

Results for the second quarter were impacted by the postponement of purchase decisions by several customers beyond the end of the quarter. In addition, a material services project that the Company anticipated finishing and recognizing in the second quarter is now continuing into the third quarter.

"As we have said before, Firstwave is making investments for long-term growth," said Richard Brock, Chairman and CEO of Firstwave Technologies, Inc. "Our management team is encouraged by the fact that we have been profitable for the past seven quarters. Further, we believe that the contracts which impacted our results this quarter will close by the end of the year."

The Company continues to execute on its stated corporate goals to increase and diversify its customer base. Based upon our preliminary results, Firstwave's U.S. division will recognize a significant increase in licenses and services revenue for the first half of 2003.

"I continue to be proud of the commitment that our employees are delivering to our customers," stated Brock. "We are establishing a growth company and are taking the necessary steps to reach this goal. We will continue to streamline our organization and leverage operational efficiencies by reallocating resources to more productive assets to foster growth and, ultimately, create shareholder value."

The Company will report its full financial results for the quarter on July 29, 2003. An earnings conference call will be held on that same day at 4:30 P.M. EDT. Information on how to participate in that call will be available in the earnings release and on the Company's website, http://www.firstwave.net.
