---

July 30, 1998, Ft. Lauderdale, FL -- MODCOMP, Inc., a subsidiary of CSP Inc. (NASDAQ: CSPI), announced today that the company has been named to the VARBusiness 500, the annual ranking of North America's largest providers of information technology (IT) solutions, published by VARBusiness magazine. The list represents the most successful companies of more than 108,000 value-added resellers (VARs), systems integrators and technology consulting organizations in the United States and Canada. With 1997 revenues of $45 million, MODCOMP was ranked No. 254 on the list.

"Our recognition by this industry leading publication is evidence of MODCOMP's continued efforts to strengthen our businesses through value-added products and services," stated John Clary, President and CEO of MODCOMP. "We are indeed pleased to be recognized as one of the top 500 IT providers as ranked by VARBusiness."

The ranking was published in a July 6, 1998 special issue of VARBusiness after a comprehensive research project in which the editors studied a universe of value-added channel organizations. The list was narrowed to the 500 companies with the greatest revenues coming from the sale of hardware, software and services -- such as consulting, training and programming. The companies on the VARBusiness 500 have aggregate revenue of $155 billion, an indication of the economic power wielded by the leading VARs and integrators.

"Being named to the VARBusiness 500 is a strong measure of success, a distinction that any IT company should be proud of," said Leslie Jeffery, the magazine's publisher. "Listed companies are the leaders in information technology solutions and customer satisfaction and play major roles in setting the direction of the computer industry."
