Region's Leading Emerging Growth Companies to Appear at Van Kasper & Company Growth Stock Conference.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
SAN FRANCISCO, May 6 /PRNewswire/ -- Can small cap, emerging growth stocks
recapture the momentum they had a year ago? Or, will they continue to lag the
market as they have so far in 1997?
These will be the top of mind issues for the expected 500 investors
attending the Van Kasper & Company Growth Stock Conference, May 12-13, 1997,
at the Fairmont Hotel in San Francisco. Sponsored by Van Kasper & Company,
one of California's leading investment banking and brokerage firms, the
conference will feature presentations by 60 companies representing the
region's leading industries, including software, Internet, multimedia,
networking, biotechnology, medical devices, consumer products and oil and gas.
"At this time a year ago, small cap stocks were leading a very strong
market. This year to date, these stocks have not kept pace with the overall
market as investors have focused their attention on large cap companies,"
noted F. Van Kasper, president of the firm.
"Consequently, we believe there are a number of undiscovered, undervalued
buying opportunities in this universe which have been overlooked by most of
the institutional investment community," he continued. "Our conference is an
excellent way for our investors to learn these exciting company stories first
hand."
In addition to the company presentations, the Van Kasper & Company
conference will feature keynote speeches by Dr. Edward E. Yardeni, chief
economist and managing director at Deutsche Morgan Grenfell in New York;
Halsey Minor, founder, chairman and chief executive officer of C/NET: The
Computer Network; and G. Steven Burrill, chief executive officer of Burrill &
Company, a private merchant bank serving life science companies.
"Many of the companies presenting at our conference represent the leading
edge of their industries," noted John J. Girton, Van Kasper's director of
research. "For the most part, they are trading at reasonable valuations and
represent timely buying opportunities for investors," he added.
The Annual Growth Stock Conference is co-sponsored by Silicon Valley Bank,
Heller Ehrman White & McAuliffe and the Merrill Corporation. For additional
information on the conference, call 800-343-4125, or 415-954-8392.
Founded in 1978 and headquartered in San Francisco, Van Kasper & Company
is an independent, employee-owned regional firm with offices in Los Angeles,
Newport Beach, San Diego, San Jose, Sacramento, Walnut Creek and Fresno.
