HOLLYWOOD--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 8, 1998--''Emerging Company Report,'' the nationally syndicated television program that profiles emerging growth companies (http://www.emergingcompany.com), features an interview with the chief executive officer of HomeCom Communications (Nasdaq:HCOM - news), which provides secure and innovative Internet-based solutions to the financial-services industry.
Internet-based companies have caused quite a stir on Wall Street lately as companies like Oracle Communications (Nasdaq:ORCL - news), Netscape (Nasdaq:NSCP - news), America Online (Nasdaq:AOL - news) and Sun Microsystems (Nasdaq:SUNW - news) have captured and are holding investors' attention.
HomeCom Communications CEO Harvey Sax, appearing this week on ''Emerging Company Report,'' said the Internet is becoming as much of a staple in the office as the fax machine did 15 years ago, ''and you haven't seen anything yet. We currently host more than 10,000 Web sites. Our customers include Time Warner (NYSE:TWX - news) and the CIA, for whom we designed a secure e-mail system.
''Our philosophy is to design Web sites which are more than a company brochure. The future of the Internet for business is the ability for consumers to interact, purchase and be serviced, all from the company's Internet site. This is what we do for our clients.''
Other companies being watched on ''Emerging Company Report'' this week include:
SmartTire Systems (OTC/BB:SMTR - news), whose wireless tire-monitoring system is being used with the run-flat tires being sold by Michelin and Goodyear;
Universal Ice Blast Inc. (OTC/BB:UIBI - news), which manufactures and markets ice-blasting machines for use in industrial cleaning -- Ford Motor Co. (NYSE:F - news) is a customer;
United States Basketball League (OTC/BB:USBL - news), the only professional sports league that is publicly traded.
''Emerging Company Report'' airs each Friday evening at 11 ET/8 PT and again on Sunday morning at 11:30 ET/8:30 PT. Perhaps the next success story like Compaq (NYSE:CPQ - news) or Digital Equipment (NYSE:DEC - news) is currently an emerging growth company.
