William West To Leave CoStar By Month's End

BETHESDA, MD (October 4, 2006) - West Industries announced today that its holdings have been acquired by Diamond Comics Distributors, Inc. of Timonium. West CEO William West will step down as a research associate with The Costar Group (Nasdaq: CSGP) and will assume a position as a brand manager in the print sector of Diamond.

Diamond Comics Distributors, Inc. was established by Steve Geppi to provide comic book specialty retailers with wholesale, non-returnable comic books and related merchandise. After more than 20 years of service, Diamond has emerged as the world's largest distributor of English-language comics and related merchandise, with a network of strategically-located Distribution Centers throughout the world.

Of the arrangement, William West said, "We are very happy for this opportunity to pursue an interest that we have held for many years. It has often been said that the comic industry is the one for which we were born. Essentially, everything that we have done to this point was in order to achieve this goal. While we are nervous about the risk involved, we're excited to embark upon this next phase of our corporate journey." West went on to say, "We are very pleased with our experiences with Costar and we wish to thank everyone who helped to make our stay enjoyable."

Diamond was represented in-house, while West Industries was represented by Shelly Collins, of Sheldiz Innovations, LLC.
