Dear Shareholders:
INFe.com is experiencing a resounding endorsement of its business plan, proposed name change and new corporate structure. The creation of INFe-Ventures, INFe-Technologies and INFe-Human Resources will position INFe.com to become an infrastructure leader in the E-Commerce, Internet and Technology markets.
The Company is also on the financial 'fast track', which includes its recent completion of its two-year audit and the filing of its Form 10-SB with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Unfortunately, when the SEC designated these "fully reporting" requirements for thousands of small businesses, the NASD has not allowed any grace period to continue their quote listing even when a filing company has met its required deadline, as is the case with INFE. This has created a negative impact for many companies meeting the SEC requirements but not the NASDAQ deadlines because they are being temporarily removed from the NASDAQ quote system to the "pink sheets" until their review process is completed by the SEC.
Being on the "pink sheets" for a short period of time is really more of an inconvenience than anything. INFe.com's stock can still be traded as always, however one must contact a retail broker to get a trade accomplished.
INFe.com has taken the necessary steps to prepare for such an incident if it were to occur on January 12, 2000, which is the Company's deadline. Documentation has been filed with the SEC to ensure a quick and immediate return to original trading status (OTC BB: INFE) when the SEC approves INFe.com's Form 10-SB.
The Company has also arranged for INFe.com shareholders to contact retail brokers that are more than happy to assist in purchasing our stock, checking prices, trading and staying current with the latest news about INFe.com. A list of retail brokers will be announced in the next few days, however your current broker should have no difficulty in placing your orders. Please contact Doug Larkin at our toll free office number 1-877- 665-7766 if you need assistance.
I, as CEO of this company challenge all shareholders to rally around their Company and their investment. Our stock does not have to decline in value and many companies stock actually appreciates even while on the "pink sheets". I want INFE to be one of the latter and all shareholders to benefit from the progress we have made and the money we have spent to make this an extremely successful company. I have been reading the "threads" recently and am encouraged by the many positive comments from our shareholders. I am also aware of the constant "bashers" and "nay-sayers" comments. Each of us has to make our own investment decisions and if there are many seller mentalities lets get them out now! Our stock is a bargain and the value of our company has gone up considerably by the filing of our 10-SB. Anyone in the investment business knows that a fully reporting company is a better investment. We have met our requirements and we are a better investment now than before so why should our stock depreciate.
I do want to express my apologies for any inconveniences this "pink sheet" process may cause now but I do not anticipate this temporary situation to negatively affect the company's operations, business plans or accomplishments in the long run. So if you're long on INFE, buy now or sit tight. If you're a day trader or "pump and dumper" sell now, because we are ready to buy your under-valued shares.
Sincerely, Thomas Richfield President & Chief Executive Officer INFe.com / Infocall Communications Corporation
P.S. I would like to take this opportunity to update our loyal shareholders on some of the more positive aspects of the Company' business.
We recently executed an agreement with a public entity to merge the IT*CareerNET with a public entity. To facilitate this, we have formed a wholly owned subsidiary, IT*CareerNET.com, Inc. This new public entity will trade under its own symbol and has planned its own IPO to occur shortly after the merger, which is scheduled in the first quarter of this year. INFE will retain the majority of shares following the merger. This is an exciting opportunity for shareholders of INFE to purchase shares of IT*CareerNET prior to the public offering. For information on this opportunity contact Doug Larkin.
Both INFe and IT*CareerNET have just entered into agreements with 5th Avenue Channel, Inc. (NASDAQ-FAVE) to become the Career service for 5th Avenue. 5th Avenue Channel (www.5thavenuechannel.com)is an exciting company with plans to be one of the premier providers of Internet and upscale cable television programming catering to the financial professional.
IT*CareerNET.com, INC., signed a 5 year deal to provide technology employment services, which will include the exposure of IT*CareerNET services on 5th Avenue's cable broadcast channel, scheduled to be televised in over 5 million homes. This financial and upscale channel will offer its video on broadcast cable and streaming Internet video. This opportunity is great for the IT*CareerNET both for exposure and the creation of the first Internet Video Resume, which will become a feature to the service.
INFE and 5th Avenue have signed a Letter Of Intent to create a "joint venture" for INFE to develop and operate an entire career site for 5th Avenue. INFe will also manage the marketing of broadcast media for the service and expects to earn millions in the selling of job, banner and video profiles for companies wishing to advertise on 5th Avenue's channel and web site. News release is coming.
In preparation of the growth expectations of INFE, the Board of Directors have also voted to approve a re-capitalize the company's authorized shares and create 100 million authorized common shares and 20 million preferred shares through a shareholder vote that is scheduled this month. The new capitalization will give the Company additional flexibility to perform acquisitions and raise capital in the future.
The Company also plans on completing its formation of three additional wholly owned subsidiaries, INFe-Human Resources, Inc., INFe-Ventures, Inc. and INFe-Technologies, Inc. in the month of January. These subsidiaries will be used for the planned acquisitions of a $20 million PEO service company and the acquisition of a technology consulting practice. INFe-Technologies has already identified its first Vice President and will be in business performing web site design and Internet integration services before the end of January. The operation will be based in Colorado and Virginia.
Speaking of raising capital, the Company has signed a term sheet for $1-$2 million in financing with an investment banking firm which to be named later. This financing will enable the Company to complete all of its current planned acquisitions and realize revenues in excess of $20 million.
The Company also has reached an agreement for an extension of its DataMEG contract. This contract will include an equity position for INFE and an opportunity for INFE to continue to assist DataMEG in its infrastructure development.
IT*CareerNET has plans to open a recruiting office in Colorado Springs, CO. This will be in conjunction with the Company's INFe-Technologies operations. IT*CareerNET continues to generate new clients and income under the direction of David Dodd, its Vice President. New news releases are planned for this month.
These are but a few highlights of our current activities. We have an extremely exciting year ahead and invite all shareholders to visit our corporate headquarters and spend some time with us.
Personally, I encourage you to stay with the company as a shareholder and take advantage of the potential opportunity to purchase INFE stock below market value during this period. Don't forget the old adage: One person's loss is another person's gain.
