Press Release SETO Releases a Statement Concerning the Recent Share Price Decline BRIARCLIFF MANOR, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 19, 2000--SETO Holdings, Inc. (OTCBB-SETO) today stated that the third quarter it is shaping up to be our biggest revenue ever and again profitable.
``As you all know, there has been a decline in the price of our stock in the last few weeks, which we cannot explain or understand, since SETO continues to have positive growth and profits, again forecasting the best ever for the coming third quarter ending October 31, 2000. The only explanation we have for the reduction in share price is lack of retail market support for SETO stock and general poor market conditions. We are continuing to try to get serious and dedicated Broker Dealers and an Investment Banker in a firm that will also bring support to the stock. This effort will not stop until we succeed,'' said Gene Pian, SETO's President, CEO.
Gene Pian also said ``SETO has never been is a stronger position then the present time, from the first days of our inception as a private company in 1983 and as a public company since 1987, 17 years in total. Our growth from $6+ million last year to over $30 million forecast for this year with $15+ million in assets, $7+ million net worth and only $4 million in debt, we think makes SETO a very strong company with a great future and huge potential for shareholders equity growth.''
