    Approximately 2,400 other small public companies, whose
revenues were between $5 million and $750 million, with
share prices above $5.00, were considered for the honor. 
"Our 200 Best Small Companies in America must pass
through a gauntlet to qualify for the list," the
article stated.  "It takes more than solid books to
make the cut."  In addition to revenue and share
price, return on equity, sustained sales, and net profit
growth over twelve-month and five-year periods were also
determining factors.  Forbes excluded companies from the
running that demonstrated "too much debt, signs of a
downturn in the future or a whiff of legal troubles." 


    "We are very pleased with the Forbes `Top 200'
Ranking based on five-year performance," said Joe
Dunsmore, Digi's Chief Executive Officer.  "Given our
new wireless Drop-in Networking products, we believe that
we have the business momentum to continuously improve our
performance over the next five years.  Further, we believe
we have the talented team necessary to do it."  

    Overall, Digi was ranked 152nd.  For a complete copy of
