Creating Virtual Internet Communities; Landmine Detector Undergoes Croatian Tests

Hollywood, CA-Emerging Company Report is the nationally syndicated television
program profiling emerging-growth companies (http://www.emergingcompany.com).
This week, featured interviews include Virtual Communities, Inc. (Nasdaq: VCIX) and
Loch Harris, Inc. (OTC-BB: LOCH)

Investment banker Dan Rubin of Rubin Investments and Investor Relations representative
Mike Manahan of Magnum Financial appeared on Emerging Company Report to talk about
Virtual Communities, Inc.. “A virtual community on the Internet is designed to offer
services and information to certain affinity groups”, said Manahan. “ Virtual Communities,
Inc. provides turnkey solutions for corporations and affinity groups who wish to establish
a virtual community on the Internet.”
The company recently announced a letter of intent with ITM Communications, an
$825,000. deal. “The company generates revenue from sales such as this,” said Rubin,
“as well as acquiring an equity stake in the companies it provides virtual community
services for”.

Loch Harris, Inc. CEO Rodney Boone spoke with Emerging Company Report co-hosts
Donald Baillargeon and Skip Lindeman from the country of Croatia, where the company is
putting their ELF landmine detecting machine through a series of tests for the Croatian
government. “The ELF (Eliminate Landmines Forever) is able to detect the chemical
makeup of an explosive device” said Boone. “The Croatian government team is expecting
us to demonstrate that ELF has a forward-looking range of at least 2 meters and, at that
range, it can reliably discriminate and identify a sealed, buried explosive”.
According to the company, the Croatia test may be the most important yet; first, because
success would mean field tests will be scheduled in that nation's live minefields soon. And
ultimately, 15 percent of Croatia's suspect farmland that is now laced with an estimated
1.2 million landmines will be returned to production.
